Wintry Dec 8-10th Winter Storm

The HRRR has backed off for a wintry mix in the Midlands and shifted it to... guess...

North Carolina... how surprising.
 
Welp, looks like the HRRR and NAM took our flizzard away this evening. :(

too warm at the bl and no deep moisture here

Shouldn't be surprised anymore, but it blows my mind how much of a screw job Columbia and the surrounding areas get every Winter. Showed a "ok" band over us all day, now it's trended to more moisture in NC. Where the rich get richer. Makes me sick sometimes. I get we aren't geographically favored and all that. But that didn't stop S. Miss, S Alabama, and Florida from getting winter weather multiple times last year. At least it's only early December...
Man I take this crap to personal with Mother Nature.
 
Crazy... models trying to give ENC folks some love

...ICY SPOTS AND BLACK ICE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND TUESDAY
MORNING...

Temperatures tonight will drop into the upper 20s to lower 30s
across north and portions of central Georgia. The colder
temperatures combined with moisture left on surfaces from recent
precipitation will leads to slick or icy spots on roads as well as
other surfaces such as porches, decks, and sidewalks Tuesday
morning. The most likely locations for black ice on roadways will
be secondary or untreated roads as well as bridges and overpasses.
The threats for black ice and slick spots will diminish through
the morning hours as temperatures are expected to warm through
Tuesday afternoon to well above the freezing mark. Use caution and
allow extra time to reach your destination if traveling late
Tonight and Tuesday morning.
 
Hard to believe that the 15 inches Roanoke VA received was the 3rd snowiest day of all time for them

Here's my preliminary snow & sleet accumulation map for this storm in NC after spending several hours combing thru storm reports, social media, personal communications, pictures, etc. The statewide mean looks like it's somewhere in the ballpark of 5-6" and this storm may have an argument to be the largest this early in the season for the state of NC, even if you dig all the way back to 1895.

The Wake County gradient was absolutely absurd as locals are obviously well aware of.
