I’ll just leave this here…. Wow! What a storm! Congrats to everyone who cashed in! This storm over performed for a ton of us, especially NE GA. 5” where I live. NC setting 100+ year records broke and still pouring over there! Congrats everyone!! We ate today!!

This map is going to look a lot more impressive when it is all said and done. Will be historic for the NC coastal regions as well.

East side of Clayton NC 4” since 6:15, 2”/hour rate. Lived here all my life not sure I’ve ever seen this rate before. It’s still dumping.

Ratios and rates are the best I have ever seen, not often its puking snow in the upper teens in NC, only other time for MBY was probably Mar 1980.

 Heavy dusting here to this point with light snow still falling and a very windy 28. It’s so cool watching it blow around in the strong winds, especially coming off the roof, because of it being fluffy. Looking at the leaves/grass, some is as deep as 1/2”. But some is closer to 1/4”. So, taking the average gives me 3/8”. So, maybe call it 0.3-0.4”. The pavement is still just wet.

 Keep in mind that our average annual is only 0.2” and that we get no measurable snow in the vast majority of winters.

 This is the only time in our history, which goes back to the late 1800s, to have measurable snow in two straight calendar years!

God it refuses to give in here...light as hell....yes, I know...it will give way but too late for what I wanted

I really hope that band that's over Goldsboro pivots around just enough to nail us here.

2.5 inches in a hour and a half. Hard to measure this because its blowing everywhere. Excellent ratios and more yellows coming thru. If this band stays this will be a foot tonight.

Yeah this winter is going to skew our 10 year average LOL

Maybe a dusting or less near Fuquay. Still in the hole! Alan tweeted we are the last place.

We've only had about 4-5" , but its been consistently snowing very lightly since 10am yesterday.

Records will be set in every state! 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!

Absolutely puking near RDU/Brier Creek!!

Looks plowable.    Sit tight, you may still squeak out 3-4" by the time you wake up.

Pulling for you!  There’s still a ways to go and the next 2-3 hours could change things!

[Blacksburg Coach]

Everytime i think we're done, it just keeps backfilling. 

 

[Ravens94]

I'm from Maryland so take it serious when I say this is some legit shit lol.  Heaviest snow that's blowing sideways I've seen in years. Probably since the baltimore blizzard 20+ years ago. 

[Ravens94]

This band is just crushing here. No way to really measure this because its blowing over 30.

2010 was pretty good, too, though that wasn't as windy. I'm just glad that one of my three winters in Maryland was the snowiest winter in recorded history.

Coming up on 2 inches here on the east side of downtown Raleigh.
