NCSNOW Posted December 10, 2018 Well Mr Sun is trying to come out here. The plows have virtually made it impossible to get on and off secondary roads. Even without the plows ,snow is so deep youll drag if your not way up off ground. These 12 inch snows are a whole nother animal. Wait till we dip in the teens tonight. So much water in this snow it will freeze solid all the way through tommorow. You can still move it around today even though its wet and heavy. Great Storm. Be ready for the next one after we get back from the bowl game this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turner Team Posted December 10, 2018 Ended up with about 15 inches here in Roanoke. Besides the blip on the models Thurs night/Friday this has to be one of the best modeled storms for this area Ive ever seen.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JQPublic Posted December 10, 2018 snowing again. really weird that it went from rain to sleet to snow to sleet/snow to sleet/rain and now back to snow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaryWx Posted December 10, 2018 Wonder if any of this is going to break back north into the Triangle tonight as potentially modeled Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Lemonade Posted December 10, 2018 What a total fringe job this whole deal turned out to be I consider it pay back for last year when we had the sandhills special... I knew I'd pay dearly for that one and here it is. 33 and rain for 2 days lol. Definitely not sweating it though, I'll get mine this winter without a doubt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bannerdude Posted December 10, 2018 Wrapping up at my location with some light flurries. Another 2" today brings my overall total to ~11.5" for the storm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PackGrad05 Posted December 10, 2018 It finally turned to snow here but is too light and radar returns are diminishing. Too little too late. What a bummer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowinnc Posted December 10, 2018 Just measured again and we picked up another inch so that brings us to 10” total. I seriously am still in shock! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnowDeac Posted December 10, 2018 How much has compacted/washed away for you North Raleigh/Durham folks? Congrats, and stay safe on the roads once the refreezes start. I think the next two mornings will be the most dangerous part of the storm for you guys, and others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherbubba Posted December 10, 2018 1 hour ago, PackGrad05 said: I can't wait to see the official snowfall map for this system and see the cutoff for zilch a mile from my house. My stepson and his family live near you. He just sent a video expressing his dissapointment at missing out on this storm. He's got a eighteen month old girl who he was dying to get out and play in the snow with. It's funny how just a few miles can make a world of difference between rain and snow but that's winter weather in the TarHeel state. Odds are you will get in on the action later on in the Winter season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rankin5150 Posted December 10, 2018 5 hours ago, WeatherNC said: Picked up about 3" of trailing vort bonus snow and still coming down at a good clip. We had a couple hours of freezing drizzle yesterday evening and that coated the trees, really helping this wetter snow stick to everything. Yardstick on the deck is at 20". I am sure you have already posted this, but what was the final total up there? Hoping you ended up in a great spot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallsLake Posted December 10, 2018 Still lightly snowing. There's a band that keeps back feeding, but I'm not getting any more accumulation. I ended up with ~1" this morning. That actually takes me to 12" for the storm. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calculus1 Posted December 10, 2018 We finished off with 14 inches of snowfall/sleet IMBY. There were light snow showers interspersed with drizzle this morning, but nothing that amounted to much. The temp rose above freezing around 5 PM last evening, and it has yet to fall back below. It has made light work for the plows, not having to fight the frozen tundra. The back deck has diminished to 9 inches due to melting and sublimation. Tonight should be a hard freeze, though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got another inch this morning though so that helped some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MJO812 Posted December 10, 2018 Wow what an awesome storm for the south. Jealous we didn't get anything here in the northeast but I'm glad most of you saw a MECS. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping you ended up in a great spot! 20" was the measurement this morning after the back-end bonus stopped. We had 18-19" yesterday and picked up another 4" this morning. With compaction 20" was the most uniform measurement. Back safely in Greenville, 421-40 were not bad, primary hazard is idiots driving with mini icebergs on their cars. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SnowDeac Posted December 10, 2018 Both the HRRR and RGEM show a decent burst for the SC midlands and SE NC tonight. Hope some our friends further south can sneak out a quick dusting/inch. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
