A few minutes ago the Duke Energy map showed about 2k people without power just north of Fuquay-Varina off US 401. It's not there anymore. https://outagemap.duke-energy.com/#/current-outages/ncsc

32.1 in Cary, spots of ice on the deck. The tops of the trees have a good coating of ice, visible on the pines. With the laser thermometer, deck temp reads 29, and the trees show 27.

"fat rain" in Cary and 33.8F. Was out in yard just before 8am, no sign of anything frozen.

Also heard the thunder in Cary. 46F, .10 in the bucket so far.

44 in Cary...slowly creeping upward. RAH calling for 50.

Watching the radar and seeing the precip having issues reaching Wake county. Wondering if that’s the dry slot many mentioned, or if the Uwharries are capable of creating a rain shadow, or both.

Low of 27 in Cary this morning. 39 now and sun coming above the trees, remaining patchy frost in the shade is melting. Milk, bread, and TP on hand.

Merry Christmas! A few flurries here just now in Cary. Looking at Radar Scope I could think there’s some lake effect snow coming off Lake Jordan. Looks different than the usual returns I see off the Harris power plant.

35F in Cary, mixed precip.

.33" last night/this morning. 38F now and temp slowly dropping. Davis station has the snowflake on it. Cue Jim Carrey "so you're saying there's a chance".

Here's a snap of the Wachusett summit webcam, from moments ago:

On the satellite, seeing some clouds appear over the waters of the Chesapeake and Delaware bays. Warmer water there? I can't find a detailed SST map for the area.

40.5 for a low this morning in Cary.

44.4 on my Davis for a low this morning in Cary.

0.05" total for the past 24 hrs in Cary - 91F/106 HI and sunny.

.01" from the likely front-associated shower early this AM and then .03" from the noon-ish rain band in Cary.

Quiet for a few days then suddenly three lemons, that being one of them. NHC as of 0800 this morning: 2. Shower activity associated with a tropical wave located about 1000 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has become a little better organized this morning. Environmental conditions are expected to be marginally conducive for development of this system during the next few days while it moves westward at 10 to 15 mph over the tropical Atlantic. By Friday and over the weekend, conditions are forecast to become less favorable for tropical cyclone formation. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

On the coast right now, rain all day. Watching rain bands approach Morehead City. I'm gonna say about .75" of rain so far for the day. Anyone else see that little spin on the radar just south of Cape Lookout?

Wed-Fri rain total is 3.64". Today (Saturday) is dry, hit 91F early this afternoon on the Davis.

Local friends are saying Hwy 53 is closed - may have hit SW High School.

hmm... might need to update the avatar! Star_Trek_VII_Battle_of_Veridian_III.mp4

33/32 all snow in Cary. Dusting on the grass, deck, and shrubs.

Rain/snow in Cary. 36/33, an hour ago it was 42/30.

Sleet/snow mix in Cary. 42/30.

On a different note, told my kids I'm putting up a Hot Chocolate and Marshmallows Watch.
