Closing the book on this one. Well worth the 2 hour drive and I never should’ve even thought twice about it. Congrats to all who saw snow and may the next few weeks bring a board-wide storm!

We got Snow TV for an hour or so and a little slush on elevated surfaces. Definitely not a win but expectations were low and we’ll all have forgotten about this after next week’s storm, right? Right???? 
The rain was impressive and much needed!

Some spit balls splattering on the windshield but I'm not gonna call it a mix yet.

I have gotten .81 inches of rain at the house and no snow has been seen yet. It is a little disappointing that the snow didn't materialize but there is next weekend to look forward to. I do appreciate the rain however.
Mixing with snow now. Funny stuff, I'm at my parents and maybe see a wet snowflake here and there. On my cameras at home, 1 mile west, mostly snow falling. Lol

Nam had you up through chapel hill , durham as jackpot. It verefied, minus the 2 inches. Congrats
And that's it lol
It is wild how small distances can make such a big difference with these systems. Nothing like what you see in mountain areas with elevation, but still. Even now, I’ve got wet ground while not far off has a solid dusting / coating. I do live in a somewhat lower elevation area (~300-325 ft) comparatively speaking which can’t help in these super marginal situations.
Anyways, I’m off until Wednesday when I’ll check back in and go full-speed ahead with our next threat (assuming it doesn’t evaporate). I need a break lol.
We don't take breaks in the winter, that's what the summers for.....suck it up buttercup

Next weekend is a layup. Todays event was a 3 pointer from halfcourt. Just because a guy out of the crowd made the shot and steph curry missed. Im still gonna pick steph curry to take the next shot, whether its a layup or 3 pointer.
It's also not lost on me the dynamics that might make up next weekend's storm are decently different so the nam and others may be more on point.
