Interesting event down here. Figured I was done for the day around 1pm when if looked like dry air was shutting down accum rates. Getting a nice burst of steady light snow and vis back under a mile. Not sure how long it will last but might be able to add to the 2".

Hey former Rockviian,

I think you good for a few more hours at least.  Returns look good to your south.

It's an evil radar loop. I feel for ya. Been through some incredible busts and march 2013 still haunts me to this day.

Looks like the coastal bands are finally going to push into RDU. I hope a deform band sets up and parks over your yard.

thank you because right now I am not sure I will get over this one otherwise. I am glad I chased earlier to the Triad for a bit though.

Models definitely got the crazy gradient idea right. I'm surprised you got less than an inch. I'm prob 30 miles south of you as a crow flies and I'm at 2.5".  Still snowing so I may be able to add to that but the end is near. I'm curious what Martinsburg and Chatham end up with.

33 w a 45mph wind at hatteras right now. Pleasant.
