We were told to expect a dusting to maybe 1/2" of snow from this morning's snow. It overperformed. We ended up with 2 inches! It ended with a lot of huge flakes, slowly falling like in a dream...

Still getting flurries, even though the radar shows nothing here.

Light snow falling here wtih that narrow band going by...

The ground and roads are totally covered now here. Flakes were small, now that are setting larger!

Light snow has started here, 10 miles south of Winston-Salem NC !!

Lightly snowing here now...

Thank you for taking the time to explain these concepts, Burgertime. It is very helpful in understanding what we are look at and for!

I was watching the live web cam at the NC State Belltower, and I saw something interesting. A man, alone, slowly walked up the steps to the belltower, turned around to face outward, then standing there he lifted both arms up and tilted his head up to gaze into the snowy sky. He stood like that for about a minute, not moving. Then he slowly lowered his arms, walked down the steps, and disappeared into that snowy scene. I believe he experienced pure joy at that moment, watching the snow fall. I too know this feeling. I have fond memories of big snowfalls when I was a studnet at NC State long ago, when good snows were more common there. Im glad I was able to re-experience that joy again with him.... good times....

How about a station in the Triad?

The ground is starting to turn white now, with heavier snow falling, big flakes!

All snow here for 40 minutes, 10 miles south of WInston-Salem. The ground has not started turning white...

Mostly sleet now, with some snow mixed in. Ground turning white...

Quarter-sized flakes here now, very little rain in it.

Snow (half-melted flakes) beginning to mix in with the rain here.

It's still just rain here.
