I doubt most Wake people will be on for some time knowing there is no shot at any kind of big make up storm this year as there is no way another one that big would happen in the same winter. I am guessing the next shot will be sometime in the 2030's. I am particularly thinking of the Fuquay-Varina folks. I considered a long term break myself but the 4 inches has me on the fence with that. 

I'm just glad it is over and we at least got enough for the kids to play in.  (and it will still be there tomorrow) 
Disappointed we didn't get more, but at least it was 2-3 inches and not 0.  Watching the radar all day was painful!

That is the kind of storm that just created a thousand winter weather hobbyists like all of us. Those kids are now obsessed.

Toaster in the bathtub risk is part of what makes the hobby. Like racing or skydiving or playing poker.

Can anyone do an over lay of weather next forecast compared to actual. To my untrained eye it appears to have done pretty well less the dry slot or maximas. 

[eyewall]

If there was no dry slot I would have given this winter an A but right now I have it at a C+

I got 7 in North Wilson (with maybe a few favored spots at 8) and it was an enormous relief, but I have to admit to being emotionally drained at this point.  Together with the storm last weekend it's been 2 straight weeks of relentless oscillations between clown maps and rug pulls.  Obsessive model watching; clicking refresh on my browser at 12 in the morning to see if anyone has posted in the last 15 seconds on this forum.  Being a snow weenie in the SE is hard on the soul.

Warmer Mid-Month?

[Leesville Wx Hawk]

Brief warm up then trough comes back towards V day with decent setup via some blocking and possibly a 50/50.
