Yup, this is looking like a bust for anyone not in the extreme eastern and western parts of the state. Enjoy it everyone.

Just brutal. This will be an all timer for us…eclipsing December 2000. Greensboro getting smoked…it looks like it will literally be just Raleigh that gets blanked when all said and done.

Thank freaking god this nightmare of a winter is almost over…50’s are coming and March would just be a couple of weeks after. 🙏

We had a few shots this winter. We will go into 2027 likely almost a decade since the area has seen a good snow.

We wasted an all time great pattern. These don’t come along but once a decade and we blew it. Oh well…it’s just snow. It’s really funny if you think about it.
 
Which model was the first to sniff out the dry slot?

Also they should reconsider retiring the 3k NAM for RRFS because the latter was playing catch up all along. 3k NAM had this pegged.

I’m truly sorry to you Raleigh area folks. I hope it defies odds and you guys get in on this in a big way.

Appreciate that. I just woke up and looked out at my snow-less sky, checked the radar and felt a pang of disappointment. Snowing every which way around me but a blocking force field around the triangle.

If we don’t have anything here by noon, I’m jumping into my car to drive in one of those many directions where it IS snowing good. If the snow chooses to not come to me, I shall have to come to it.

Historic or generational bust?

Its coming down really good back this way. All my dry slot fear is gone. By late morning you and triangle will be going good, if not sooner. It bso cold, it really wrings every ounce an then some out of the atmosphere.
So nice to watch it rip snow during daylight and not sweat temps, sun etc.
The model clown maps, without the big gaps, are gonna be the ones that verify. Saw gfs, icon, fv3 painting 5-10 across our state, sc. With heavier accums on coast. Thats whats gonna happen today. Over achieve, because of the rare phenomenon of that cold column all the way to the ground SQUEEZE PLAY. See this with upslope snow events occasionally in mtns.

I still say Johnson city, erwin TN , end up 12 -15 by late today.
 
Terrible outcome for RDU. Might get lucky on a couple of inches later, but even that's iffy. RAPs my new model. If it says no, it's no until proven otherwise. Current radar. Everything is moving northeastward without any building in the middle. I suppose as the low starts to move away, the returns in the west may come through. But I would think (like the RAP) the coastal will be weaking precip in the west as it builds to the east. That's a dry slot.

I wanna trust in this optimism so very badly.

Hope you're right. Greg Fishel called for 4 to 7 inches last night. WRAL saying only 1 to 3. If the globals all end up busting and it ends up being nothing or just an inch of snow, then there's no sense in looking at them and coming here to talk about it it would just be a waste of time. Might as well not pay attention until the day before and just see what the local NWS office and local TV mets forecast.

I’ve been at snowshoe and I haven’t paid much attention to this thing tbh, but the radar is null for north Georgia to this point. I don’t expect much more than maybe some flurries. When did they change WSW to 1” of snow for us? I swear it used to be 2+. Seems rather ridiculous.

Sorry for the slow response. B/c I don’t have a NC location on my profile, my nonsensical posts get moved to this thread when others can wax poetic about anything they want without consequence.

Things kind of escalated quickly yesterday. Most folks along & west of the extended corridor 400 corridor & points west woke up to a WWA with points east being under a WSW. As the day went on, FFC expanded the warning westward & also increased amounts.

Couple of bouts of flurries/light snow here.
Hard to imagine getting the 2-4” from the point forecast from FFC. We don’t have any returns over us right now.

Tbh I never understood why Atlanta was upgraded to a warning

I mean maybe if it was a weekday and overly cautious but it's not even that haha. It's Saturday morning!

The standards of what is considered a winter storm are really going downhill
