Yes sir!  Good to see you around posting.  I am hoping for more, but I am skeptical.  Back west of us, people are PISSED.  The cutoff line is sharp.  Roads are bad in Gainesville.  I saw where a guy was saying he got 5.5" in Habersham County but not sure if thats a drift or legit.

 

The rates have picked up again here - I am in the south part of the county and this band is moving from the north. I have just over 4” now so if he is a bit north it is possible. Also I see all the wind reports but so far very little wind imby

In northeast Durham it literally looks like the sun might peek out at any moment.

I could believe it. Winds have largely been calm up here. My highest gust of the day so far has only been 9mph.

Then it may be legit!

I am hoping it fills back in like the hi-res's are showing.  I still have it flying here.  But not at the rate it was.

Short range models were showing that yesterday. It being largely calm in the vicinity of that meso-low and then ramping up into the evening hours.

Well done lilj. You’ve earned yourself the honor of having to start all future winter storm threads. Still have several hours of snow ahead too it appears 

[Upstate Tiger]

Some of the heaviest rates I’ve ever seen.

RDU folks will never recover from this. We lost 30 inches.

Don’t panic huh?  Too late lol. 
 

Hell I know the forecast here in Florence is not for the snow to start until after 1:00pm but for us to still get a substantial amount and I’ve already been panicking watching the radar stay just west of us all morning. 

[MHCWEATHER]

To quote Tropic Thunder, it’s about to go “full retard” here on the coast

Does the HRRR agree with the good Dr?

And the observation thread, joshm's obs thread did not keep the mojo going for many of us.

Man it’s great to see you still around! Are you still in Dacula? And do you still moderate the Gon Weather Forum? I looked it up the other day but didn’t see a post for this system and I miss your write ups and how in depth we went in there! Oh man tell me about it, people west of us are so mad! I heard reports of 6.5” already up in Rabun county. Insane! I think we could still squeeze out another 1-2” by the evening. I’m gonna take a measurement around 4 and see where we stand.

3 to 5 hour snow event now? Even if we get 7 inches this will still be a major bust based off that! Lol

[Aleksey]

Then it may be legit!

20z and 21 show another convection band right over us!
