This is the 4th time we’ve seen a TR of frozen this winter. Maybe that bodes well? 

Once we get to Dec 17th, the SE will have had virtually every day colder than normal for 3 weeks. In addition, much of NC will have had 3 snows even though mainly minor. In the past few decades, only 2010 will have been clearly colder for that same period and 2002/2000 close, but none of those had 3 different snows in the RDU/GSO area. 1989 was the last time it was this cold and with 3 snows during this early period.

3 snows and that one event that started as sleet. That’s officially 4 frozen. It’s actually picked up some now, pretty mood flakes coming down. Very wintry, temp up to 37

And there’s even a chance at still another with the Arctic plunge coming in Sunday!

Obviously no one notices these small events like flurries with no accumulation like weenies do but that’s very impressive for this area before Christmas  to see 4 events with frozen precip

RDU officially recorded a TR of snow at 4 am so this will be official in the books.

Narrow moderate snowband sitting right over us. Not sticking much but it sure is pretty

Happy for you N/W folks! Also, happy that we have a variety of outdoor camera brands that now provide this kind of on-the-spot coverage...

We had some pretty flakes in west Cary.

It's been snowing lightly here since around 7am. Seeing the heaviest rates of the day right now, but looking at radar it should be coming to an end very soon.  34.7°/30.1°

We’ve been hammered up here in the western Avery high country. 17 inches so far and plenty of days with snow on the ground. Solid snowpack right now.

A pretty heavy graupel shower is passing through here. Sticking on elevated surfaces

Low of 29 and currently 44 and light graupel.
