Allan just posted the latest HRRR showing 11 more inches from Kinston to Emerald Isle. Mind blowing. They already have that.

Really hoping the coastal can fling in a bit more moisture than currently progged.

[Blacksburg Coach]

I know it's starting to wind down here, just can't tell if the snow I'm seeing is being blown off the mountain or from the clouds.

You kept your cool and patiently waited all day. Now it's your time. Good for you. Thank you for not complaining all day. Hope you cash in.

Just wow!! What an insane storm all around! NE GA to NE/C NC and Upstate SC really cashed in and it over performed for a ton of us!

As crazy as it sounds, my area of Winder, GA just set a new record snowfall for a 24 hour period, with 4.6” officially today. That was in only 10 hours though. The previous record was 4.0” on 1901! I had to look it up because that sounded so low, but sure enough, it’s in the books. I will say this area hardly ever, I mean once every 20+ years, sees snow higher than 1-3”. Today we broke a record!

We have just over an inch now and only been snowing an hour so we’ll see. At least let me live in the moment.

Sorry. that was convulooted. What I meant to say was that hopefully they are wrong and you get hit. Sometimes I reply quickly here between work.

Yeah, Raleigh looks like they are getting a good hit right now per radar.

I’m making this post after not looking at anything since around 9am. I hate it for WakeCo peeps.

with that out of the way. Climatology and geography always wins. Aside from high altitude, high latitude, and lake effect zones. I’ll continue to stand by that Alamance county is the absolute most perfect geographic location for snow anywhere in the US, and anywhere in the world, yes the world, in terms of a CAD environment.

models sucked for the most part - esp most short range. It’s been snowing nonstop since 11:30 pm last night but was so light that at 10:30 am we had a mere 0.75” of accumulation and extreme doubt and disappointment settled in but I made a post about peeking returns coming up through Randolph county…then it happened.
 

1pm hit and it has dumped ever since. Not the most accumulation for the storm, but I’d garner a guess of 6-7” and still dumping. I’ve been outside enjoying and cooking (ribs and chix) on the smoker ever since. For here the storm exceeded the most last minute expectations. I need to review but kudos to the GFS mostly, 2ndly the Euro. And as far as I can tell the ICON and RDPS for crushing the NAM and HRRR. 
 

Pure joy from mby in Burlington. Can’t do this again anytime soon, looks like that may be unavoidable. 

Cant wait to dig in to the post-storm analysis on this one. It’s been agonizing.

It looks like those who have been missing this afternoon may see a nice hit for the next couple of hours.

No worries. We have 4” now so that (and tequila) has brightened my mood. 

[Grayman]

Can somebody point out where ULL is located right now?

Last I checked, Timmerman was in Jacksonville, NC and getting hammered.

[Coach McGuirk]

Come on and bomb out coastal low.  Maybe an inch here. 

[SEwakenosnowforu]

Ok...it's ripping now and windy...I am happy!!

You might end up with 8 inches if radar returns are correct

Must be a gradient in S Charlotte. I got 9 exactly where it says 6...but there's always a gradient..and there should be one between where it says 12 and 6.

I do think parts of that map were old like around Lancaster. We absolutely got more snow between 3 and 6pm but the report stayed the same.

I measured 6 inches in December, A guy literally posted 5.5 inches a mile north of me and NWS Wakefield posted the map and we were 4 inches.
