HWO from RAH reads like the most depressing event of all time:
A cold rain may mix with snow and sleet Friday morning. A very light
coating may result, mostly on elevated surfaces, before melting and
washing away in a cold rain on Friday.
Low of 29.2 and the heaviest frost of the year. Car doors were frozen shut with residual moisture from yesterday’s rain. Posted in the November obs but picked up 1.09” yesterday and high topped out at 44.1
Agreed. Heavier rates with the high still in a decent spot Friday morning would most certainly mean snow for the northern half of the state. Timing (earlier) rates (heavier) are keys
It’s before Christmas and we’re on our second and possibly third threat. (First being early November snow to the coast). Maybe we don’t all see flakes but that’s a heck of a start compared to last 7 winters
Cold seems to be backing off for tonight’s system in CAD areas. See WWA hoisted for a lot of mountain/foothills areas but icing looks extremely limited now
I guess it’s just a spot without any pavement and a lot of farmland. Just happens to have a weather station there. Mine is actually on top of a hill so I’m sure there are colder spots on the farm too. Last year with snow cover it was exceptionally cold compared to RDU
It’s just north of Louisburg airport and typically the coldest spot in the county. Usually drops 3-4 degrees on the car thermometer between getting off the pavement on 401 and when you pull in driveway. Louisburg airport was actually 19 this morning too. My weather station is less than 1/2 mile from their sensor
From a snow accumulation perspective last winter left much to be desired for a lot west of US1 but we had 3 WSW and 3 events that stayed below freezing throughout the event IMBY. Growing up here that didn’t happen all the time. I’ve lived here long enough to know that doesn’t happen every year. Think we can all agree we are missing that big coastal storm, and 2018 was the last time we got one. That being said central and eastern NC would take last years winter almost any year. Foothills folks are in purgatory
I think we were BN December through February with temps and central N.C. saw snow all three months. In these parts it doesn’t get much more wall to wall than that
