Have a buddy that's working in roxboro this week. He said they got about 5.5. Not sure how accurate that is though

The issue was is that we started as heavy rain and normally because of the city, the surface temp is always 2-3 degrees warmer than surrounding counties. Takes longer for that switch to occur and when it did, the yellow radar echoes were just to the south.
Lynchburg got measurable snow with this one for the first time since March 8, 2019. Ended their epic drought.

0 sign of any snow in Raleigh ! Wow. Even back home though most of the stuff even in the shade is gone . no where stayed below freezing today even the areas with most snow. RDU hasn’t had any sub 40 highs this month and only 1 this entire winter . It’s 39 currently at RDU so decent chance inter obs may have touched 40.
Looks like it was still 41 at midnight, anyways. The winter of mild misery continues...

I wonder how much snow Roanoke Rapids has left on the ground ?
I took a walk mid afternoon and there was literally no evidence left it even snowed here, not even in the shaded parts!
I don't know about RR but my yard 95% covered and couple inches in many places.
Also these girls don't like the snow haha

Yea, I'm on top of a hill in Penn Forest and got 2+ but was hard to guess because it was blowing around so places I normally measure were contaminated by chunks blowing out of trees. I was all snow by 1115.
Nam was way late to the party but in the end was closer to right with amounts. I did not see the NRV guys post from Bburg or Cburg. Bet they did much better at 2000 feet +
Congrats NE NC folks!

I went up to mill mountain to witness the changeover and it went from a little mixing to full on whiteout in about 10 minutes. I could barely see anything in front my car. As I was driving down the mountain it was going from snow to rain and when I got down to the city level it was almost all rain. 15 minutes later it was all snow at the city level.
About 30% coverage still but I do back up to a pine forest. 0.5” of melt on the station with 2.5” accum is a ratio of 5:1, SWAG is closer to 7:1 avg with 3-3.5” falling. Mini paste job, a sight to see it dropping from the trees today. Congrats, new seasonal avg given this warming period, years we blank are coming more frequent.

well considering that CMC snowfall output is 10:1, if you adjust for ratios, it pretty much nailed this thing in the piedmont and coastal areas of NC..

We got between 3-4 inches. Ground still totally covered with afternoon Temps only in the mid 20s.

And with clear skies and snow over. Its gonna be a cold one tonight. Already down to 18.
I'm late to this party, but saw some great pics the last few pages. Nice 158 special for some of you. 
I figure was about 2'' here. I had to run an errand this morning and was amazed at how beautiful the snow capped trees were. Roads were mostly just wet or slushy--no big deal. I actually think they'll much be worse tomorrow morning.
Now to watch the next one..

Still snow in the shady parts of lawns and roofs, but gone anywhere the sun touched. I think I stayed in the 30's all day tho.

All I can say is ... ahahaha I got more snow than Raleigh ! I got more snow than Cary ! I got more snow than western wake. Ok sorry I just had to, feels good to do better than climo favored areas in the county . Not tryna ruffle feathers here just enjoying this . I also got a foot in Dec 2010 .
0.50” QPF ~2 miles west of PGV fell as SN.

Yeah too bad we werent dealing with a 10:1 ratio and better temps. Would have been a decent little hit.
I took a drive around the area today and I definitely ended up in a local screw job. There’s still snow on the ground in shaded areas a few miles from MBY whereas my place has zilch left even yesterday afternoon. Makes me more bitter about this storm than I already was, oh well. ?
I tend to doubt my backyard even saw 1” after getting around the area some.

I still have a bit of snow in the shade . The cold rain will do it in though once and for all. I have more snow in the shade than Harnett county guy has received in 3 years .
