December 8-10 Winter Storm Obs

[SENC]

@Orangeburgwx, this round, ULL,  petered out before it got here.. It did look promising.. 

My daughter, in Tabor City-Whiteville, did get a slight dusting..

Moister just, "ran out" before it got too my Local..  Maybe on the GFS-FV3 you can start that for the Dec 25th..(hinting,,  looks exciting)!

Just got into work. Roads definitely icy. I really should have waited a couple more hours. Main roads are fine. Just have to watch out for the runoff that refroze last night.

I work 9 miles from my house, both places are in southern wake and roads were dry and fine.

I know it is a different story across the county.   I wonder if we will have a similar situation on Wednesday morning?

Could be just as bad. We'll get a lot of melting today, and then temps may get into the upper teens overnight. So as soon as the sun goes down it should be below freezing and any wet pavement will turn icy fast.

Woke up with a light dusting on our inflatable snowman and the roof tops, melted in less than an hour but good start to winter for me

Fall snow is so beautiful

Remarkable photos, Eyewall.  Thanks for sharing these.  16" up here in the provinces.  Ended with some sleet and frz rain.  Overall, a great storm for us.  95% snow, temps steady between 29 and 31...started at 400A and lasted until at least midnight...20 hours basically.

Mount Mitchell had 34 inches from the storm. Think Boone was 21 officially. Both need to be confirmed. Amazing storm. I could get use to white ground 3 months out of the year.

Had 21-23" here in Todd...from measurements in various places...field, driveway, deck, etcetera.  Sitting at 30 degrees now...clear and cold with some winds

Could this be the night to break CAE's streak of non measurable snowfall?

1763 days since Feb 12, 2014; 2.1 inches.

Looks like it didn't happen so 1764 days and counting.

10” storm total

2.82” liquid equivalent

Probably going to end up with at least 96 hours of snow cover from this event.

Snow pack is hanging tough today. Even the refreeze on the roads from last night is still solid at noon thanks to the thick cloud deck.

Well it’s Thursday evening at 10:45. My kids have been inside all week studying for exams that were to start this week. Exams were cancelled and school was cancelled tomorrow. They are outside for the first time sledding and having a blast. It’s amazing that they are able to enjoy this snow at this point.

What was CLT’s official snowfall for the Great December Storm?

Are there any NC maps out there with totals from last week's storm.  I could not find one on NOAA yesterday

There is a map on page 57 of this thread.
