The rain snow line is stuck 2 miles to my south. This has been incredible. I have sleet mixing in with the heavier bands

 

[Cary_Snow95]

Seems to be over performing for Charlotte so far. Video from uptown is showing great rates. Let's see if that can continue downstream

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Jimmy, keep posts coming! What you got now?

Ground is covered. Just ripping outside. This is the heavy wet stuff I remember from my younger days. I’d be lying if I said we had an inch already though. .2-4” was a good late call by CJ. The last few hours have been a lot of fun

 

[Cary_Snow95]

The radar is slowing filling in around all directions of Wake County. Should start to moisten up the upper levels here during the next hour or so. Hoping to see precip at least start to fall by 2

Will the FV3 be the new king?

 

[D-Ray]

3 inches now and still pouring...temp is 33

Not going to work out where I am. Had snow for a bit but am back to mostly rain and a little sleet now.

Wind is crazy here. Id bet Im sustaining winds of 20-25mph with gusts approaching 40mph.

Good grief. Youve had snow for hours now. I figured you would have 3-4" by now looking at the radar.

Heavy rain and sleet at the airport

 

[Emory Briarcliff]

One more LSR out of NWS FFC of 3 inches in Clayton, GA.

Canton, Cherokee County Airport reporting -SN as of 12:55A.
Toccoa and Cornelia have switched over to RA as of 12:55A and Blairsville doing the old unknown precip thing.

Over the last hour multiple LSR's from central Alabama reporting wind damage/trees down.

 

[LovingGulfLows]

Hard to get accums on top of water puddles I’m expecting around 3” at this point. 10-12 more hours of this should do the trick

That and the ratios are probably really bad. 7:1 maybe? With that and an already wet ground, it probably takes 2 inches of snowfall to get an inch on the ground.

Snow flurries at my house in Raleigh, NC

Was it expected for the snow to get as far south as Canton ?

 

[Cary_Snow95]

Snow in Cary

 

[Cary_Snow95]

Wind has really picked up and super small flakes falling. Nice north wind seems to be funneling in quickly suddenly

 

[Emory Briarcliff]

Was it expected for the snow to get as far south as Canton ?

Snow and rain were in the NWS grids for Sunday night in Canton with rain and sleet in the forecast overnight and during the day tomorrow.
