Wintry December 4-7 Winter Precip Chance

Something is starting to fall here. Best guess is a rain/snow mix but's it's starting to get hard to tell as the sun sets. There was an mping report of snow 2 miles to my NW, though.
 
Seems like it may be over here now. Didn’t even really get any Snow TV, so kinda meh. Oh well, at least we have a T on the board now.
 
Upon closer inspection, and comparing KRAX w/ KAKQ radar reflectivities, looks like even the lowest radar beam is overshooting much the precip in Halifax, Warren, & Vance counties. This means it is likely being generated below 5,000-6,000 feet (850mb ish to sfc). It's gonna be tough, although far from impossinle, to get the Bergeron process going if the 850mb temps where this precip is being generated (apparently) are way above -10C (forecast soundings showed between 0C and -5C). I guess a few isolated spots could be mixing w/ snow perhaps, but this kind of environment actually favors freezing drizzle over snow if sfc temps were below 32F.

Guess it worked out! Snow for the Triad and Triangle!
