We chased to Beech Mtn. on Saturday. Not nearly that amount. Only about an inch. It was enough to get my last "snow-fix" for the season.

I don't really feel it was a bust, at all, for NC.  There was plenty of wind damage associated with the straight-line winds.  In addition, there were probably over 20 tornado warnings for central NC, some of which have verified on-the-ground tornadoes.  

Agreed this lived up to the Moderate risk that the SPC forecasted, at least for NC.

I just saw that as well. Some of those cells entering the southern piedmont look to be discrete as well. Not a good look. Does anyone have any insight as far as Robert(WX South) does with severe weather? He called this potentially historic.

Robert was our go-to Met on this board for many years. He is excellent with winter weather in our part of the world. However, I really wasn't into severe weather back then. So, I can't comment on his severe forecast, but I would not bet against it right now.

Odd juxtaposition of "CONFIRMED LARGE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO" with "RADAR CONFIRMED TORNADO" with the east-of-Griffin cell.  Usually the confirmed-large-etc source is spotter or EMS.

Meanwhile it's just gusting and damp in S Forsyth County, for now.  Not complaining.

If the CC shows it, then it is confirmed. That basically lets you know that there is debris being lofted and it is on the ground.

Deep South, I know, though a MRGL in Central/Piedmont N.C. 

Though look at that MDT! 

If things stay the same, I expect we'll see a high risk with this one. The SPC day 1 criteria for high risk (45% with sig severe) would be reached.

As a fan of cosmology/astronomy  since I was a kid, this is about as cool as it gets. First pic of a black hole. 

 

Looks like a doorway to the underworld.... scary stuff.

Last time I was part of this sub-forum, I was just a college student. Now I'm moving back to North Carolina with red tag under my username and experience of two of most insane winters in my life. Gonna miss these crazy northern winters, but I'm happy to have warm weather again! A day in 70 F was nice to return to.

Welcome back man. I remember you well. Where were you located during those insane winters? By the way, congrats on your red tag!

Ok, so who was the big winner with this storm as far as snowfall goes?

From all the pics I saw it was Troy NC that got my attention. Even the main roads were snow-covered.

You know we are all rooting for you down there Mac. In this set up, if you get dumped on, we will too.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Euro.

We've learned from our mistakes this winter.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I keep waiting for the punch line.

Don't know why it's so quiet. There's still a chance, it's so close! 

It's still too far out.... and I have my doubts about the amount of precip that will fall this far west.

28 degrees this morning... Doesn't Spring begin today?

31 degrees this morning... looks like we will be in the 20's for a couple of nights coming up.

Now that would be funny....

I'll eat a piece of a leather shoe if that happens as shown.... As long as I have some A-1 sauce to help off-set the flavor. Hey, it still beef right?

Another morning with freezing temps ... 31 degrees currently.

Got down to 32 this morning with frost on the grass. 

40 degrees and drizzle....

Had sleet and snow on and off from 5:30 am this morning until about 1:00 pm. No accumulation,other than a dusting on the car tops, but nice surprise to end winter. I will still keep one eye open for the rest of the month.

Yep. They came in after the Japanese.

Worst winter in a while.  Just a ton of more wet.  Very few below freezing mornings.  See ya next season.

You know it's over when "Wow" gives up.

People reporting snow in Tusculoosa and Bham AL well north or the radar returns so that is odd.....not sure how heavy it is but I cant imagine its too heavy if its not being picked up on radar....

Reports of snow in Atlanta... if this trend keeps up, we could get into the action.

Just now, CaryWx said:

The cold is also not sticking around as long next week. Very progressive.  Been that way for a while now why should next week be any different

We all knew that would happen.... This is ridiculous. Winter is holding on by a thread.

Not that it matters much but storm #1 has moved south some on this GFS run. Takes some of us in NC out of the T-storm threat.
