1.11 inches of rainfall for me yesterday. Much needed!

Raleigh is the only major city on the east coast below normal for snowfall this season…

Is Raleigh a major city?

I kid! I kid!  Just igniting the debate again between our "Charlotteans" and our "Raleighites".

Here's fodder for the discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population

This pic was taken this afternoon of the south side of my driveway. This is the first day that the entire driveway has been almost clean. The grass is a completely different story, and the sleet is going nowhere fast. We’ll see what 60s can do tomorrow. Two inches of sleet hangs around forever…

Light rain just commenced IMBY. The wind came with it, too. 47.8 F.

48.8 here in Hickory right now IMBY. Nothing -- neither rain nor snow -- has made it to the ground yet.

Still snowing in Newton, just had some of the best rates since midnight. I have been up since midnight and it has been very few times where it wasn't snowing. Crazy to think that it has been light snow for almost 12 hrs. This storm could have been a big hit if we had a little stronger storm and heavier rates. So cool to see three events in the past 2 weeks. Two major and one just enjoyable to watch! I will say most of the models did a poor job at showing any of this redevelopment of precipitation.

Yes, a very pleasant surprise to watch snow fall all morning, even if it didn't accumulate to too much. Flakes are pretty small now and seems we are nearing the end of the event.

Beautiful snowfall outside right now. Such a lovely surprise that I did not expect to continue for this long.

Overperformer here! 1” and still lightly snowing 

I've got half an inch on the deck.

Snowing in Hickory! Dusting to a quarter inch on the deck right now.

Rain/snow mix here.

Straight up rain/snow mix here in Hickory. It goes back and forth to heavier rain or snow.

^ Based on that, southern Wake County (and a few other bordering counties) is experiencing the longest 6+" snow drought of anywhere in the state save that sliver of brown in the SE corner of the state.

I'm not sure what to make of this Wednesday evening - Thursday morning event. The GFS is printing out crazy totals for the Hickory area now. Cold chasing moisture doesn't ever seem to work out here, so I'm not really expecting anything, but it's hard to ignore what the models are showing.

That KHKY reading is bunk. It must be due to urban heat island of concrete around the airport. I'm a couple of miles from the airport (line of sight), and my Davis Vantage Vue registered 8.2 as our low this morning, around the time this was posted.

8.2 for me

34.9 was my high today. We are now back below freezing at 31.7. The low this morning was 10.5. We will likely beat that low tonight.

32.7 here right now, but the sun is doing its work. I did get the driveway blown off. Loved using the leaf blower!

Official forecast is only for 29 here. I'm in the 20s now too.

Down to light flurries now. Nineteen consecutive hours of fluffy snow! Amazing! I'm calling it at 7.5 inches. It was likely more, as I didn't clean off a fresh board to measure without compaction, but just "WOW"! I have absolutely loved this day. What a treat!

Psalm 147 comes to mind, particularly verses 16-18.

Steady light snow here. Almost 7.5 inches.

The snow tapered to flurries very briefly, but now it's back snowing moderately again. This is crazy! According to @WXNewton's observation, it's been snowing in Hickory solidly since 3-4 AM. That's amazing! What a storm!

6.5 inches and counting in Hickory, NC, the NW corner of Catawba County. Snow is coming down hard right now, too, even though radar doesn't show it.
