0.70 for me. An over performer!


.

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.

Snow near downtown Raleigh tonight. About 0.75 inch at the moment.

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!

I’m in Raleigh for business today and tomorrow. Moderate snow in downtown Raleigh.

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...

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.

Should begin to see an ever-growing model consensus during the next 24 hours as the energy gets better sampled by the sondes.  

Take a drink!

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.

Finished with a final tally of 2 inches, mostly snow, here in Hickory.

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.

Here’s another from a bit earlier:

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.

Here it is! Bigger flakes. All snow!

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.

Looked outside about start of halftime of the game, and it is pouring snow and sleet.  Head out with the dog again.  We are playing ball in the snow.  Labs don't care. I realize it's raining - freezing of course.  Then as we come in, it's some type of sleet or pellets.  Just wild.  Measured about 1.5 inch of mix.

This reminds me of one of the old 1980's winter storms.  We used to get a lot of little nickel and dime deals like this that would give you a little bit of everything precip wise.

It’s exactly like a 1980s storm in the lee of the Apps, growing up in Lenoir. Many fond memories of those storms.

I just flipped to moderate snow, so hang on fellas 

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!

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.

26.7/25 with 93% humidity and light snow that is not showing up on standard radar.

We got that diamond dust now that strongwx was mentioning.

Switch to tilt 3 and watch the precip blossoming near Sylva

Well, I checked it out and put it in motion, but that appears to be heading more southeast rather than northeast.

Looks like some heavy back to Hickory. Any obs there?

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.

The back end is right at my doorstep. This ended way earlier than originally thought. I was expecting precipitation until midnight. Not gonna happen.

Right at 1 inch. The sleet just started.

We used to have a lot of Hickory posters.  Anyone know the ground truth there?

Quite the indicator for sleet in CC from GPS radar. Watching as it approaches HKY.

So far just steady snow here, enough down to cover most grassy areas and roads but I don't think we're even at a 1" yet.

Just went out for a walk with the family. We have about an inch as well. All snow still. Hoping that sleet stays south of us.
