Heavy sleet mixed with snow in Spring Lake now.

It was snowing but just a few flakes when I got up at 3:15 this morning and the temp was 35. When I woke up around 6 we had 1-1/12 inches just eyeballing it. Temp has gone down to 29.1 and it’s been snowing all morning, small fine flakes. I would love to see the larger flakes around here but I don’t think we are in the right location for that. Just measured on my deck table and measured 4 inches.

Snow picking back up.  Hopefully we can get a solid 3 hours of good rates.

Still a few flurries in Duncan, SC.  I’m about 3 miles S of I-85 off of 290.

interested to see if the tilt now occurring will lead to more this afternoon...

IMBY - unscientific just under 5”

wow, what happened to those "south" of I-85; marginal temps?

I ended up with 2" in Simpsonville so this map isn't accurate for storm totals 

[NCSNOW]

Thanks for the update from Eden, I've been waiting for someone to chime in from there. The radar looks good for a couple more inches in Rockingham County, so a decent snow event for sure.

ripping in North Raleigh right now. Huge flakes.

Ended up with 2". What might have been? Not having 2 hours of rain at 41 degrees at start, and winning the pivot! Most snow in like 10 years

[Norwegian Cyclone]

Approaching 5" in my location. Unreal. 

The flakes are getting smaller and ratios are going up, too.

[WakeCountyWX]

About an 1/2 inch in SW Wake. Moderate snow falling

[drfranklin]

seeing radar returns increasing in Western NC

[Poimen]

Time for a Jeb walk. 

[NCsandhills]

Good steady snow in midtown Raleigh. Not sure how the roads are, but there's *maybe* an inch, tops, on the grass and cars and such. Its still 34 outside

Had a few this morning myself. A proper jeb walk happens at night though. 

Enjoy man!

I was afraid of that Mack - YFF said 2-3” in Simpsonville!  Hope you are part of that or more!

[WxKnurd]

Just got back from a beautiful walk in the woods.  It is a paste job like grit showed earlier.  Compacted 2.5", added another .25" or so to where I'm keeping track every couple hours so total should be nearing 2.75"-3" my end of Mecklenburg NW of the airport.
