A few pics taken in the last 10 mins. This is the Newtown area of Williamsburg, 2 miles SW of W&M campus.  Looking at the radar, I'm guessing 4" is probably within reason before this is over.

3k NAM seems too dry? It is snowing in spots north of the nc/va line but the model doesn’t depict that at all. It’s also missing stuff in NC as well. 

It’s those weather balloons

Not gonna get into it back-and-forth but at least have to mention that of course the Earth has warmed the past 30 years or whatever it's been. But to what end? You see the doom and gloom climate change people keep trying to say "well because of it this bad thing is gonna happen or this bad thing is gonna happen." Some of it talking about "the end of the world" or cataclysmic destruction. But they keep moving the goal posts when those destructive things don't occur. It's irresponsible at best.
 

Because we look at things in years and decades, but the bigger picture is in centuries. All climate is cyclical. Climatologist Dr. Judith Cohen absolutely agrees with climate change but is vocal regarding the fact no one actually knows what long-term effects it will have. 

This incorrect analysis cannot go unchallenged in a climate site.  Global warming began with the industrial revolution in the late 1800s, and really exploded during WWII, as a direct result of human activity. While it is true the earth has a natural cycle, but what we are currently seeing isnt “cyclical”. Temperatures over the past 100+ years have zero statistical correlation with this cycle.  This is directly because of man burning oil. We have statistically proven this, hundreds of times over.

Right now, glaciers are melting. Go to South Florida, where on any given bright sunny day, the ocean literally washes ashore (king tides) *several miles inland*.  South Florida will be uninhabitable in my lifetime due to rising oceans. This isnt fear mongering. This is facing reality. People denying this are actively harming our society.

Southside and Northeast North Carolina in a dry spot however, within this little dry Zone I can report there are some better dendrites mixed in with the dust. I have a feeling this is going to start kicking real soon. Watch those bands come in off the Atlantic

Oh I guess you believe in global warming too lmao 

Definitely not as man caused as some think in my opinion based on my own research and thoughts. Many have financial incentive to push certain narratives. Something always up for debate I think. Anyone saying "settled science" doesn't understand science. But I digress on the controversial topic.

 

Anyway, wow radar shows quite a dry slot near Raleigh and East right down middle of NC

Actually the longer cycles of 100 years or more are more important than 20 to 30 or 40 years. Part of the reason we know that there has been glacier melting is because of satellite pictures from NASA. Well 100 years ago we didn't have pictures so we have no idea whether they were melting or gaining or anything else. But if we go from 1990 until 2090 we can get a better idea.

As far as South Florida being uninhabitable that is an opinion not based on any facts. You could call it a theory. I'm not sure how old you are but I'm willing to bet South Florida isn't going to be uninhabitable by the time you pass away if you live to be 85 or whatever.

Many climatologists have predicted things that they've had to retract. Things like "the Arctic will soon be ice free", they've had to retract saying it would be ice free by 2030. In fact Al Gore said in 2009 that it would be ice free in 5 to 7 years from then. That obviously proved not to be true.

People also said that polar bears would become extinct. But they've actually increased by at least 8000 since the 1960s.

Some scientists also have said that climate change would cause global massive food shortages. Barack Obama echoed this claim. Actually during the last decade food production has skyrocketed.

I want to reiterate the fact you would have to be very ignorant to not realize that climate change is real. The issue I have and many others is continuing to cause people to fear without these things coming to fruition and then again pushing the goal posts back. This is also very ignorant. And some of it is just to be "right", which is really stupid by the way.

Channel 13 future radar  gets the  snow  up to RIC  now. Its  been expanding  coverage for awhile

Its definitely up there but its so dry its evaporating.  We need this to continue for a few hours to hopefully squeeze out some flakes.  Poor Raleigh looks dry period.
