Finished with 5 inches tonight couple that with my 2.50 inches of sleet on Monday I say it’s been a good week
Fortunately, I’m on county water and septic.
Side Note... Hoping this will be a nothing burger. However, Three family members in a one mile radius are prepared in our own individual way. Generators, food, gas, propane, charcoal, board games, ALCOHOL, etc

Between 2 and 3 inches in Haleyville, AL. Mostly rain now with temp of 31.6 on my Ambiant weather station.

Here's the latest obs from AWC overlaid w/ some wet bulb temps based on latest obs. Based on the excel file I shared earlier w/ all those ZR soundings from KGSO, you usually need to see the sfc wet bulb get down to about 30°F to start having serious problems. The Triad & Va border counties are basically already there and the continued cold advection and radiational cooling through the night will likely knock these numbers back even further. RDU & Charlotte still have a lot of work to do however

Have a couple of vids on my iphone I wanted to share but can't get them to transfer to the forum... things are winding down now in Florence. Storm total 5"... temp at 30° but supposed to rise some during the night
Even having a degree in Meteorology, most times I'm thankful not having to forecast winter storms in Charlotte. This one is a slam dunk though, just like this entire winter. Grab your umbrella, jacket, and prepare to drive to work in the morning. I can't wait to build a cabin above 5000' and get out of this boring city! Sorry Admins/Mods, totally belongs in banter. My bad.
Don't let the few posters with their great pictures fool you. For most of us in N AL this is a rain storm. That p type depiction is inaccurate.
North of town definitely won. Friends of mine came in at 4+ inches in Hazel Green
It’s uh it’s still 41/29. These upstate WWAs are gonna end up being canceled lol

Ended up with just under 4" before the rain started compacting it and turning it to slush. This was my first real snow (non-ice storm, because those aren't fun and they suck) since 2010, so I needed this!

35.6/23 West of Winston
After a high of 43 early this afternoon, we quickly dropped down to hover between 34.5 and 36.5 for the past 4 hours; but the dewpoint has been slowly dropping from 26+ down to 23.
With the ground really saturated, I'd prefer not to be grouped in with Roxboro for ice totals over 0.5". They can keep their winter weather magnet to themselves. I have enough trees on the ground to limb and buck right now without adding more.
I really like pretty postcards of a little ice on the trees but the nowcast needs to start going in the right direction.
That being said, we're prepared for the mess we may face.

This was a beautiful snowfall. An old school snow I guess you could say. We ended up with about 5 inches. We have changed to freezing rain now. It coming to an end. We have an inch of compacted sleet and the 5 inches of snow on top of that. What an awesome week!

Smarter people-where do you go to see where the waa line is at? Sleet not letting up and just busted my ass on the sidewalk taking my dogs out. Roads are absolutely covered too.
