Went out to officially measure.  Everywhere on the deck measures 1.5 inches.  It's been snowing for roughly 1.5 hours, so I guess I can say that I've been getting 1"/hr rates here.  Now, how long will these rates continue?  If it does this til 6 AM (as many models seem to indicate), I'm looking at 8+ inches.  That's a big IF, though.

Where are you?

Unfortunately, the sleet line is working its way above me and beyond in the western Upstate. 1/2 inch may end being all I see. Would be quite disappointing, but Correlation Coefficient line is walking well north of 85 here.

Mostly sleet in Powdersville with snow mixing in , just another typical western upstate warm nose. The models always under estimate it by 20 miles or so but more importantly the duration of qpf is being exhausted

Up over 2" in High Point now. I've had 1.5" in under an hour.

Crazy rates here in Graham as well...had a bit over an inch in the past hour

[packbacker]

Pouring rain...probably got atleast 0.25-0.3" QPF of rain the past 3 hours.

Mod sleet here in RDU. Think the rain portion of the storm is pretty much over, as we're dropped to 32 on my thermometer. Still haven't seen a flake as of 11pm. That said, we've only went through .15 qpf thus far, out of an expected 1.5 or so.

Been snowing beautifully and heavily for 2 hours, now. Everything covered. It's a shame it's not just a couple degrees colder, much of its melting as I've been at 33 the whole time. Have about an inch, but would have at least twice that with just a bit colder.

[BigWeather]

Still all rain near WakeMed hospital in Cary.

[WeatherHawk]

Some wind here in Graham...any winds nearby?

[Bryan63]

Flakes starting to take over in Southpoint area, hopefully this is it for the rain and sleet. 

[ryan1234]

Definitely more snowflakes now, than I've seen yet. I think I am right on the edge of the all snow transition. I hope this line keeps jogging south, let us all cash in!

Lol... that's what I was wondering.  We have almost 5.5 here now should hit 8 before it all wraps up. Rainforest should hit double digits. 

Nice storm Franklin.  It's been impressive here since the changeover...everything covered well here now roads included

Beautiful huge flakes in Chapel Hill, NC, changed over right at 11

we have very similar conditions - I'm slowing inching towards 32

FFC cut totals. Still quite a bit on the NW side. Gonna have to rely on that deform band that has yet to form I guess. 

im assuming that means snowfall and not snow accumulation. Because i've been stuck at 1.5" for over an hour and I don't see us getting another 3-4" of snow. Where is all this snow gonna come from ? Radar doesnt look good.

[NEGa]

heavier echos moving in and back to moderate snow, about 1.5"

[Iceagewhereartthou]

This thing is racing. Looks like it'll be past me in about 3 hours or so. Quick hitter and just a little to warm for a big dog. Beautiful nonetheless.

[broken024]

Grit eta for change over in NW union county?

[magpiemaniac]

It's been all snow in GSO and it's been accumulating quickly. And the best is yet to come.  28 and steady snow showers.

[snowinnc]

Yuck.  32 and rain/sleet nastiness in N. Raleigh.  I saw about nine flakes earlier so I was pumped but it was obviously a cruel joke.

Hopefully you can cash in with no mixing.

[AirNelson39]

Starting to get some pingers on the hotel window just south of downtown Raleigh and north of I-40

Brad just has a mini meltdown on his Facebook LOL. "look at that accumulation" steps out and sees sleet.

Curious where you are? Just turned to snow here as well (Huntington Ridge by SouthPoint). Temp still says 32.9 though.

[SnowJoMoJo]

32o and pingers mixed with rain in Wake Forest I north Wake County. Pouring down though.

Thanks for this. We don't get many obvs down here and my apartment and deck back onto dark woods (peering out my windows is pointless till daylight and I'm not hardcore enough to get out of my jammies and schlep down to the front parking lot only to see rain). Please keep 'em coming.

Right on 54 (Arboretum at Southpoint) just passed the Domino's if you're going away from 55.

[Jet Stream Rider]

[DurhamHeel]

[RaleighWx]
