Wintry January 21-23 2025

22/15 Rh 76% s of carrboro. Light snow is increasing a bit. The deck and metal chairs are starting to whiten up. Not about to walk down to the road to see just yet. They didn’t brine the roads in Orange County. DOT stopped right at the Chatham line.
They brined the roads in my part of Orange near I-40 in NE Chapel Hill. Interesting. They even had roads brined in the Triad when I was there earlier.
 
This is a BIBLICAL Southern Winter Storm (using the SECS, etc. terminology). I thought there was no way the modeling could be right for what they were printing out for the Gulf Coast. It was unthinkable. It was impossible! I can’t believe Florida has likely DOUBLED their all time snowfall record, New Orleans has blown past theirs, and the entire Gulf Coast is getting pummeled by the same winter storm!! I wish I still lived in Tallahassee now!
 
Flurries are done here, clouds breaking up rapidly. Cut off line must have been on a line from Charlotte to SE Guilford and then east from there
 
Interesting first two hours here in TLH.
Temp dropped to 30.5 as precip commenced as sleet, then a sn/ip mix, then briefly all snow.
It then went back to sleet and is now most zr with a bit of sleet mixed in.
Also, temps have risen a full degree to 31.6, I assume a product of WAA.

The RAP is undeterred, handing out 8 inches (Kuchera) while the HRRR thinks it sniffs out a sleet storm through midnight.

Anyway, ready for temps to crash a bit and a snow changeover to happen as SPC is predicting in its mesoscale.
 
I don't wanna post the images and be a broken record but holy ---- the fgen is legit parking over CLT rn

The mid-level cold front is pressing in from the west over the piedmont. Eventually subsidence drying will take over and shut the snow off, but you should see some good rates for a little while. It's areas further to the east where these rates are likely to be even greater later tonight as we squeeze more frontogenesis out of the initial mid-level warm front that comes in from the south then the subsequent mid-level cold front from the west.
