One of these days, I’m going to take a road trip down south so I can actually see what falling snow looks like. Congrats to everyone who is seeing some snow!
 
Snow reports (> Trace) I have seen thus far across NC from social media, my own personal trip down to Whiteville, etc.

Boardman (northern Columbus Co): 0.2"
Burgaw 1.0"
Clarkton (southern Bladen Co): 0.3"
Jacksonville: 1.0"
Lumberton: 0.2"
Rocky Point (southern Pender co): 0.5"

I'm so glad I decided to take the 1-1.5 hour trip down to Whiteville at about 3-4am morning, I definitely don't regret it. I'm much less salty for sure lol
 
I’m not mad, nice to see those areas get snow, ------ winter but it is what it is, most of NC has seen snow now
 
Wilmington and points south are getting screwed over by the warm nose this morning. If only it could be snowing over all of NC rn and this is where the rain/snow line had to start before trying to jog northward.

Sigh

Yep. Another winter with snow to the North, South, East, and West of our area. I'm just going to plan on warm, snowless winters until further notice.

Maybe we get lucky right as we turn the calendar to astronomical spring and pull a storm out of our a** w/ this big +PNA that's due to show up after mid month. Almost that time of the year where a cold pattern is just as likely to involve severe rather than wintry weather.
 
From an unofficial data source in KCAE, it looks like we got 0.30 inches of total liquid precipitation. Here are the numbers again. Reminder, all of these models were for 12z yesterday.

Best Performing:
RAP 0.29
ECMWF OP .20 (but had .30 RIGHT on the door step)
*note about the euro.. used maps from a diff source to figure it, could have been right on the money with exactly 0.30, not 100%)

Worst:
HRRR
NAM 3KM


Here were the numbers again from yesterday:
12z Model Suite Precipitation Accumulation Forecast from College of Dupage active readout
GEFS Mean: 0.15-0.17 (large area)
RAP: 0.29
GFS: 0.21
FV3: 0.16
NAM 32KM: 0.12
NAM 3KM: 0.06
CMC: 0.19
HRRR: 0.08

Tropical Tidibits Map
NAM 12KM: 0.05 - 0.10
ICON: 0.15 - 0.20
RGEM: 0.15 - 0.20

Weatherbell Maps
ECMWF Operational: 0.20 (0.30 very close by)
EPS Mean: 0.10

Other
UKMET Guestimated: 0.15-0.20

Model Blend Totals (inches of precipitation)
All 12z Operational Model Mean: 0.167 (or 0.17)

Well I'd say that my local area got shafted bad this year. Only one pellet flake and that was it. At least next year can't be worse.
 
Merging observations from CoCoRaHs, NWS Local Storm Reports, Social Media, & my own personal experiences this morning when I drove from Fayetteville to Lumberton & Whiteville, here's a preliminary snow/sleet accumulation map for this winter storm in NC. Onslow County looks to have hit the jackpot w/ widespread 2-3" reports in Jacksonville.

Nice map! How unusual is it for these areas to see a snow like this in early March?
 
Here is ground (roof) truth from Carrollton, GA -- I guess this is winning, or won, or whatever. It is what it is ...

I know that emotions do run high with winter weather for a lot of us, and this winter has been a difficult one for many of us. I enjoy following the board and thank those that bring their expertise and/or humor.
 
Got this to look forward to!☹️ Going to hit 22-25 degrees imby tonight, IMO7E1BF51F-DFB2-490D-AF66-35390AF8504C.png9FCE0F09-9F93-41A4-A1FA-2F1CAA9868CB.png

How much has actually bloomed up there? It looks like most of our plums are out and the blueberries are budding but our apples are still very dormant.

Not really sure. My Bradford pear has been in full flower about a week, to the point the petals are dropping. Have an ornamental Cherry or apple tree that has a lot of flowers out. The Bradford actually has small leaves out

Our Bradford’s are about the same. They smell so bad I wouldn’t mind if theyvwilted.
