Wintry Machine Learning Mauler 1/30-2/1

Think they have had it off Kerr lake a few times!
Since it’s currently dumping at my location in S. Charlotte from that band, I could probably check off my bucket list item of experiencing lake effect snow on a technicality if I really wanted to. I don’t think I will though…
 
I’m not trying to annoy anybody by continuing to share with you guys so I hope that’s OK. But I have 2 1/2 inches in 2 1/2 hours in Youngsville.

I think the entirety of Wake County should have full permission to brag and boast about any heavy returns they’re now finally getting!!! Finally out of the long lasting snow hole
 
Looking at radar trends with the meso low slowly moving SE I think we're seeing the east "arm" of snow stop it's northward progression. This is what the HRRR was showing and potentially leading to some higher totals in Horry county SC and Brunswick county NC.
 
The heavier radar returns near Goldsboro and north west are moving northwest. I have been under the band for roughly 2 hours. Measured 1" over last hour with a total of 4" having started here ~ 1800. Any one else live under these training returns? I believe I recall seeing someone from Lucama on this thread. Going to end with more than I anticipated after being in the dry area most of the day.View attachment 193016View attachment 193017View attachment 193020

Almost 6 inches in Grovetown. We had a little over 4 inches around 5 pm then that last band came through around 7:30 and we were at 5.5 inches by 8:50 and it’s still been dumping the last 30 minutes since I checked the depth.View attachment 193035
That band hit us just west of Thomson for about an hour and we picked up an inch from it. It was the heaviest we had all day. I assume the arctic air was ringing out every bit of moisture left for the end.
 
3 inches in Youngsville!

Back to nothing at all

Maybe you'll get a deform band in the morning. You are the thread starter! I started "The Big One" in Feb 2014 at Amwx. I was frickin' cocky that this was it. Thought I busted bad, but then woke up to Jesus Glory in the morning. Then that glory melted away in a few hours, lol. The life of an admin.
 
I will never doubt the NWS again. EVERY television station Met dropped us to 1-2" around 3 o'clock today. . . NWS stayed steadfast in their forecast and left it at 7-11". We're at 4" and under a band that has us at 1" per hour min right now with radar filling back in. I expected a total bust but what a surprise! Those guys are the experts for a reason!

Check clt radar streamers over you
The streamers are impressive. Radar is starting to cave to the Low on the coast but these little streamers in and around CLT are amazing. Snow ratios have to be up in the western part of the state.

For example. This is at the NC/SC border south of Charlotte. (9;39pm)
