Yeah, look at the classic LP placement on the 12Z ICON:

Congratulations, you forced me into a Google search this morning, and I just added a new word to my vocabulary. =) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor

Oh, come on! =) You know everyone pulls for snow in their own backyards. It doesn't mean I hate people that live in eastern NC or anything. If you guys get snow out of this, I will enjoy seeing your pictures, just as I did when the posters from Jacksonville, NC, shared a few weeks back. I also think it's more likely (see earlier post) that you will see snow out of this than I will. Anyway, I pull for snow IMBY every month of the year -- January - December. Those of you pulling for spring to prevail now that we are in late March don't march to the beat of the same drum as do I. The advent of spring only means that summer (and the awful heat and humidity) will shortly be here. Ugh! Winter is coming...

True. There is that option. I don't think either one is likely, though -- westward trend or expansion of coverage. I think you stand the best chance of getting something in your backyard if you live to the north and east of Raleigh in this setup. But, who knows? We'll keep watching...

Just need that westward trend... [emoji16] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Light snow here in Lenoir, NC, right now. Beautiful! Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Moderate sleet/graupel mix this morning in Hickory and Lenoir. Nice farewell gesture from this winter season. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Awesome to hear that our SENC peeps got some late-season snowfall this morning! Congrats, guys!

Is the video sped up in the second half? If not, that guy is flying down those back-country roads. Driving all over the road too.

My favorite is the COD: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=GSP-N0Q-0-12

And the "jackpot zone" (if you can call 1.5 inches a "jackpot") is in the lee of the Apps in each case. I think that's good. Amirite? Or, should I concede to the conventional wisdom that you never want to be in the "jackpot zone" three or four days out? I'm just gonna grasp at any straws thrown my way right now...

Still there at 06Z. Winning! Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

If you are south of I-85, then you should expect even less snow than what has been reported at GSP. So, again, this year isn't too different from normal. Still disappointing, but not completely aberrant.

You live in NW SC, man. Here are the annual (and monthly -- October to May) snowfall totals for the past 15 years or so at GSP: Your 4.3-inch season total this year is only 0.4 inches less than normal. It's also more than 16 of the years listed here. I think it's been a pretty normal year for you as far as totals go. (I also figure you don't actually live at the airport -- Boiling Springs is more north and east of there -- so your totals will vary a bit, but this is the best I can do.) We all want more snow, myself included. (Spring, stay away!) I think the extra bitterness and despair right now is due to the big storm that was had in December. Everyone believed that we were setting up for an epic winter with that early storm. It just hasn't materialized that way, though.

Wait. You're in favor of censoring which information the public has access to? I'm going to file a Freedom of Information Act request to counter your proposal. =) It should be up to the individual to determine what information they want to give credence to and how they want to process it. I don't need/want someone else filtering my weather map access because they believe I wouldn't be able to handle whatever mood swings they think I might incur.

00Z GFS still looking good...

A true southern slider...

While it may seem that cold rain forms in eastern NC, it actually doesn't. It just happens to pass through there quite often. Perhaps something to do with a certain poster with the same name... [emoji16] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Staying on Helton Creek up near Mouth of Wilson, VA. The owner of these rental cabins says the creek is as high as he has ever seen it in 19 years up here. We've seen multiple benches wash down the creek. Pulled up lots of things away from edge. Still rising. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Never got below freezing last night. 33.0 F was the coldest BY temperature that I recorded.

It's been a steady mix of wet snow and sleet for the past couple of hours. Temp down to 33.4 IMBY. This has gotten colder more quickly than anticipated. I've got a nice slushy accumulation on my back deck. The driveway is also beginning to accumulate the sleet pellets. Over performing, for sure, here in Hickory!

Big snowballs in Hickory for about 5 minutes. Now, heavy sleet. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Huge cotton balls of snow just falling from the sky! Then heavy sleet. Then back to snow. Awesome winter weather! Mulch is already white. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Awesome! The longer it can stay cold, the better.
