  1. Those of you wanting to go back to the days of surprise snowstorms may be in luck, if the White House cuts funding for NOAA and restricts cooperation with other countries. This would have rather horrible impacts, I fear. What are we doing? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/it-s-a-circus-trump-unleashes-chaos-at-key-us-science-agency/ar-AA1yEkcq .
  2. Declarations of “Winter is over” are such boorish behavior and require very little thought. Why do we allow this behavior in the main thread? Winter continues through March. (Through April and into May sometimes in the mountain communities.) Whether we get snow or not and whether temps are frigid or moderate are unanswerable questions beyond the next week or so and very much location dependent. At least back up your statements with maps or analysis. Otherwise, just refrain from hitting that Reply button, please. .
  3. 0.70 for me. An over performer! .
  4. Well, I ended up with about 1.5 inches of absolutely powder in Raleigh this morning. You could literally blow it off the car. It was pretty cool stuff, but didn't amount to too much. Still waiting on the big dog here in Hickory. Like you all have said, it's been a long time since we had an epic winter in this neck of the woods.
  5. Snow near downtown Raleigh tonight. About 0.75 inch at the moment. .
  6. Guys, I’m riding this one out in Raleigh. For once, it’s snowing more here than it is back home. Fun to watch fall, and it is cold outside!
  7. I’m in Raleigh for business today and tomorrow. Moderate snow in downtown Raleigh.
  8. I'm driving to Raleigh tomorrow morning for work and won't return until Wednesday evening. Hoping to see more snow in Raleigh than here. Not often that is true...
  9. Well I totally missed any snow that may have fallen last night. I didn't see any evidence of snow outside, and everything would have stuck, I assume.
  10. I think one of the most common posts on our site is … “The next 24 hours will be really important in determining … [fill in the blank].” That same statement is made whether we are ten days away from the fever-dream storm, five days away from a possible storm, or 1 day away from an impending storm. This makes me wonder which 24-hour is not really important because that’s the one in which we can all take a breather and not live and die by each model run. Please let me know when we have determined which 24-hour period that is. Until then, I will be waiting anxiously on the next run of the … [fill in the blank] … model.
  11. Finished with a final tally of 2 inches, mostly snow, here in Hickory.
  12. Yep, we finished with 2 inches as well. I just went out to measure again on the table. That was pretty cool how long it kept snowing even with nothing showing up on the standard radar beam.
  13. Here’s another from a bit earlier: .
  14. Still snowing. Nothing showing on radar. Just measured 1.75 on the table. Of course, the sleetfest knocked the true total down a bit, I suppose. .
  15. Here it is! Bigger flakes. All snow!
  16. Yep, I’m staying up for that. Everyone else in my household has gone to bed, but I saw that on radar and knew I needed to wait a bit.
  17. It’s exactly like a 1980s storm in the lee of the Apps, growing up in Lenoir. Many fond memories of those storms.
  18. Me too. Back in the game! 1 inch of snow, 1/2 inch of sleet, a glaze of ice, and now a little snow topper!
  19. I don’t know that I’ve witnessed freezing drizzle at this low temperature before. It’s making everything crunchy. Instantly freezing on contact. No runoff.
  20. 26.7/25 with 93% humidity and light snow that is not showing up on standard radar.
  21. We got that diamond dust now that strongwx was mentioning.
  22. Well, I checked it out and put it in motion, but that appears to be heading more southeast rather than northeast.
  23. Solid sleet. Got a few flakes mixed in, but it looks about over. Way underperformed here, but it was nice to watch fall all afternoon. Ended up with an inch of snow and some sleet on top.
  24. The back end is right at my doorstep. This ended way earlier than originally thought. I was expecting precipitation until midnight. Not gonna happen.
