That was at 7 am according to channel 12. Areas around New Bern could have easily gotten more. I am pretty sure I did. But no way to accurately measure it.

MHX office just reported 15” snow depth. With all of the blowing/compaction/etc, that’s probably pushing 18” in total snowfall.

Down here in New Bern was officially at 12". Morehead was 13" officially at 7 am. Those reports of 2 to 3 feet are false. People really don't know how to measure snow properly. The drifts make it impossible to measure accurately.

Those totals seem a bit low to me given New Bern was in the double digits last night. Have these been updated? There’s 15-20” reports coming from the areas near and south of Jacksonville.

Whopper of a deformation band setting up from Jacksonville to Greenville in E NC right now as the low rapidly deepens with the trough going negatively tilt. Have to think 20"+ or perhaps even two feet is on the table for some.

This is going to be the 21st Century winter storm of record for many in the Carolinas ultimately, especially with blizzard conditions occurring at the coasts.

I’ll just leave this here…. Wow! What a storm! Congrats to everyone who cashed in! This storm over performed for a ton of us, especially NE GA. 5” where I live. NC setting 100+ year records broke and still pouring over there! Congrats everyone!! We ate today!!


.

This map is going to look a lot more impressive when it is all said and done. Will be historic for the NC coastal regions as well.

 And You all think I’m losing my mind.

As an onlooker from outside the area perusing, I think I’m losing my mind reading your posts.

Any storm that gives ORH and BOS 22”+ is going to be remembered by many.

Agreed. YYZ needs a major reform but seems highly unlikely. 

But for once, YYZ is somewhat keeping up. 7 hours of straight +SN and at 36cm (14.1") so far. 

January 2026 will finish as YYZ's snowiest January on record. 

Queens Park just reported 5.5” in the last hour, unbelievable.

This will end up as an historic storm for parts of Toronto.

Parts of east Toronto where the lake effect snow band has been stationed since the morning could finish with amounts close to 25-30". 

YYZ currently at 12-13". 

Im glad they’re also measuring at Queens Park because YYZ’s iffy measurements are notorious.

What is happening in Toronto/vicinity right now is incredible. 3-4”/hr rates for hours as a heavy LES band is parked across the metro due to easterly flow from the main synoptic storm. Could break the all time record there in fairly short order.

It’s not very often you cannot see any dryslot yet when zoomed out on the NY State radar view

 

Hundreds of miles of rippage.

That band from S IL through S IN into SW OH between Cincinnati and Dayton is a monster, spreading NE towards Columbus too.

Looks like Ohio’s biggest storm in quite awhile. Notable banding setting up initially north of Cincinnati right now extending all the way back through S IN and IL.

Y’all are going to win 2015 style on this one.

Good lord…

That second GFS storm is an absolute titan, Cat 5 NESIS/RSI type stuff.

The Euro/EPS really do seem to want to lay the smackdown on Oklahoma. 60-80% chance of a foot or more at 10:1 ratios on the 00z run.

Reminder that the greatest snowfall in OKC's history is GHD 2011 with ~14", so we're talking easily in historic territory if most of this stays snow/avoiding dryslots/etc.

Monstrous storm for OK on the 18z Euro, particularly the I-44 corridor. 1.2-1.5" liquid for both metros with temps in the single digits on the backside.

18z EPS is also extremely impressive.

12z Euro essentially stalls the coastal as the primary ascent from the jet results in redevelopment closer to the coast, long period of high ratio fluff results and gets the entire region above 1" QPF/15" on Kuchera.

Check out this analog list.... heh... 

Doesn’t get much more favorable than that tbh from a large scale pattern standpoint. That blocking is incredible.

I had lunch with Louis Uccellini about an hour ago. He's very concerned about a westward trend going forward. Especially with an 850 low going into the OV. He's not convinced (at all) that the current evolution will hold. "I'd rather be in Chicago"

Per MA sub-forum lol.

The synoptics here don't lie.

That is the same picture.

Yeah you're all going to want to watch out if that phasing trend continues in the west with this weekend system. Potential for a major short range bust in the positive direction and a major winter storm for the sub-forum.

As someone living in OK, holy shit at that 00z GFS.

Also as someone watching the potential for the Mid Atlantic, holy shit at the 00z GFS.

Massive storm for pretty much all of OK on the 00z GFS. Even at 10:1 that's approaching record-breaking territory.
