Ugh, I should've taken the risk and went with a Raleigh bust in the snowfall contest thread. I did that in the last snowfall contest where I believe I predicted Memphis to bust and they ended up performing at or above their expected totals which totally screwed me.

Anyways, huge congratulations to everyone who got accumulating snow yesterday especially the areas that scored bigly! Very cool to see some of the areas that have been historically screwed over in recent years finally get a big one. I just hope that karma works one day in my favor and I see a big one eventually.

What a comeback

Hello from above the Arctic Circle in Rowan County, NC. What an unbelievable storm. My door hit a snow drift when I opened it! Never thought I’d see the day.

I think my 9.5” measurement is on the low end. It’s the flattest place I can find. More areas than not are 10” or more.

Whoever recorded the 2.0 in snowfall a half mile from my house NW of RDU doesn't know how to measure snow in windy conditions. 2.9 was measured at RDU and we sat in better precip than them all afternoon.

I can’t imagine putting stock into a 18z HRRR run 20+ hours out.

For folks over towards Raleigh, my worry level wouldn’t be too high. Just overreaction to a model that has flopped more than LeBron and can’t even get hour 0 right. (Pretty sure NAM3 isn’t doing well even at hr3 either.)

Sometimes, as it turns out, LeBron actually does get fouled ….

Not that it’s a big deal, but just stepped outside and it was spitting flurries lol. Where is this gasp of energy coming from

Lake Michigan.

I'll never know how much we had. The drifting and blowing of snow is insane. Beside my house between the neighbors is a small yard. My side you can see grass my neighbors side has a 3 foot drift

I accumulated another 3-5 inches after 2am. It was still lightly snowing at 8am. Suns about to pop out.

 

[LukeBarrette]

Finished with close to 5 inches. Before 2 pm yesterday we were sitting at 2.5 inches thinking we were done with the sun peaking through. Then for about 8 hours it light to moderately snowed bringing us up to 5. Such a cool storm for a lot of people! Enjoyed going through almost all of the posts!

Good morning from beautiful snowy Youngsville!

Updated map. Looks like the Triangle was able to get a little more than I thought.

Hey man what's the link for this?

I can't find it. Brad P. posted it on X. I've been searching the NWS site for it. If you find it, let us know.

More accurate than the earlier map, at least NW of RDU

 

[griteater]

Birds are singing this morning and either ready for spring or in wonder of the snow

 

[Downeastnc]

Measured 13" to 16" in a open area and the lowest i could find anywhere was 8". Solid 2 to 3 ft drifts pretty much everywhere. I didn't venture to far away from my porch though will try again later its to damn cold right now.

This is the link to the obs snow map… might have to fiddle with it, not sure if it saves the settings.

Thank you! That works great. Just click "Generate Plot" and it spits it out. @Rain Cold did you see this?

 

[YetAnotherRDUGuy]

My mom at the border of Ocean Isle/Sunset Beach shared these just now. Obs reports of 15'' there! This is right near the intracoastal waterway.

All 100 counties in NC got over an inch of snow… I’m curious if that sets a record. Other statewide snow storms I’ve seen accumulation maps of had at least a few counties with 0 or just a trace.

This may be true for South Carolina too.

 

[thunderwolf]

Snow has just ended. My official measurement is 18". Some spots are well over 3 feet deep. Even open areas have over 2 feet of snow in spots. Absolutely incredible. I think Morehead City and Down East probably exceeded 20 inches.

This is definitive snow of my lifetime

No! Thank you!

 

[GiantBear]

Very light flurries falling from a mostly clear sky here now. Mother nature must think it can compensate for the mere dusting of snow it put down yesterday and then blew away!

 

[Not the mama]

Can someone smart and with access do an autopsy of the models and see what did good and what sucked? It would be nice to know what to count on. (Long med and short range really since there was so much variation for all of them)

The area on the map-- slightly northeast of Columbia--is where I reside. I said "5" or so" last night, and I see 5.4" per Packfan's map.

Here's one for GA

And SC.

Probably the 2 best examples here

I think some snow bands were training over the same areas because the overall system was slow to move out. The eastern half of Wake County got anywhere from 5-6 inches with the heavy bands

Definitely more than shown around here ne of athens. Im surprised there wasn't more around Greenville watching the Radar yesterday. Nice view of the snow on satellite

I was happy with 2” but we ended up with six.

I can’t believe Roxboro outperformed us in this setup.

 

[ChrisAMB]

NWS has us at over 14”. I believe it, it’s just very hard to measure. This shovel is sitting on concrete and the snow was slush on the bottom when scraped away so there was some compaction. The shovel is 20” tall.

5.5” seems high here, but maybe I just can’t measure. I got 4.5” and am right about where the 5.5” is on the Orange / Durham County border.
