And that in the heat island. I bet the suburbs got a bit more. I'll have to check with my kid who is just north of 295. And I rain at 1400 ft...

Met, there is a some sleet mixed in at Exit 168 on I-95 in Halifax.
I still find it odd that the airport didn’t record a trace back on 12/20. There were observations of light sleet/snow mix for several hours all over the southern half of the metro area that afternoon including downtown and locations very close to the airport.

I could be wrong but I think they take obs at the top of every hour. So if Charlotte got a 10 minute hit of flurries in between hours, it wouldn't be recorded.
You would think this is some sleet along the boarder:

Maybe bright banding due to melting snow? Had some of that back over this way.
Something tells me that's your mPING report showing that... thanks for the update. Figured it would be close, I'm at work in Louisburg so just the coldest of rains here
CC on radarscope does look a tad interesting, that line is probably right on the NC/Va border

LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THROUGH NOON....
Rain has changed over to snow across the Northern Mountains of
North Carolina with some accumulation being reported, especially
for elevations above 4000 feet. Accumulations of up to 2 inches of
additional snow is possible before snow tapers off around midday.
For the lower elevations below 4000 feet, up to an inch of
accumulation is possible before the snow ends, but mainly on
grassy or elevated surfaces. Temperatures for elevations below
4000 feet are expected to remain above freezing, so little or no
accumulation is expected on the roads.

No… it’s the same as with inter-hour highs and lows. If there is precip during an hour, it’s recorded.
It was 53 degrees at the 12am reading, 45 at 1am, according to their records. Definitely one of those deceptive high temperatures where it doesn’t really reflect how the actual day itself was, though.
My friend in Norfolk reported “hail”, which must be sleet or graupel.

Seems odd since there's no automated way to record it like with temperature. Do they designate a 24/7 window/floodlight watcher at the office?

The panhandle is less offensive to me than Austin and Dallas.

That is Mt Kathadin, tallest peak in Maine and where the Appalachian trail ends. Very exposed up there.
If that's the case then Charlotte & GSP should've both recorded a trace that day.
I had snow & sleet for about half an hour.
It was all around GVL county that day.
Hard to believe nothing fell at either airport.
Can confirm I'm in aho south east of Boone got a half inch before it quit around 1030.

That's insane. Hope no one's gonna be hiking there this weekend. Quite literally feeling like Antarctica.
GSP did on the 20th. So it has recordable amounts but not measurable snow. And looks to stay that way. CLT has been completely blanked though.
Matter of fact I think the only place that had measurable snow along and south of 85 in GA and the Carolina's is Atlanta

Mt Washington is forecasting temps to -45 ( with winds well over 100mph) with windchills as low as -100 to -110f. Frostbite in less than a minute possible. Can't imagine what that is like.

A ways out on the GFS but it’s starting to hint at Severe Weather Potential.

Just about everywhere in the SE US outside of Florida had a top 10 warmest January on record this year, many locales top 3-5 warmest since record keeping began.
People can deny it all they want to, but objectively this is/has been a torch pattern. These kind of warm patterns (due to climate change) are becoming so frequent nowadays people tend to forget how cold it's actually supposed to be in winter.

I remember when you saw snow in the Texas Panhandle, there seemed to be a good chance there would be some here
I agree… I know I work on the east side of town and saw snow/sleet falling from about 1pm until I was home that evening at 7. Seems strange that CLT didn’t have at least a couple hours

Doesn't matter how you slice it, it's been objectively unusually warm/torchy in the SE US. Leaf out is at least 3 weeks early this year.
The annoying part is it’s been too wet to really enjoy it.

Common sense goes a long ways. Espeacilly in regards to Climate Hoax. Climate is always changing ,going through cycles.
At GSO, we had a -3 Dec, +5.7 Jan. See how Feb shakes out. By Feb 5th we will be Below normal. Should register some AN before Next weekend, then a few days slighly BN. Jan will by far be the warmest month of met winter. Although Feb probably will end up AN here if I was a betting man. Bet the streak!

If you understood how averages work, you'd quickly realize that you're not even remotely close to being below average for the winter by Feb 5th.
A +1.6F anomaly averaged over 60 days in KGSO isn't going to move much at all in 3-4 days.
