Finished up a good long walk in the best rates of the day, sitting on the front porch soaking it in now. Prolly about 2” here. Still snowing moderately. What a beautiful day!

I’d be surprised but it seems like we have a good shot and keeping up some mood flakes at the least once this back end finally scoots out of here. This has been an exceptional event for me without any more, feel blessed to have a good one before I graduate

I’m a little curious how the ice is doing along and west of US 17 or if it has been mainly sleet there

I’ve wondered the same, New Bern appears to have stayed mostly ZR per mPING reports, I assume somewhere took or is taking on sig icing but don’t see any indication from outages yet. If the CWA largely escapes sig ZR that’s a pretty big win.
 
Just got back from a long walk. Snow stopped a little after 6pm and down to flurries now. Just measured some spots and it looks like we got 3.5”, although less on paved areas, etc. Probably could’ve even gotten more if the snow started a couple hours later, but a great storm, my biggest personally in a decade. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING: THE GFS!!!

EDIT: Measured a few other spots at 4.5”, tough one with variable accumulation depending on north / south facing hills with the February sun angle.

depending on spot measured, im in the 3.5-4.5 range too -- so i guess we might end up right at the same after all! :) i am still hoping to get some fun last lil bands rolling through over the evening / early AM though

Yeah it’s tough to measure. Definitely is at least 3.5” but 4.5” in some spots, realistically probably like 3.5” for a conservative total; it’s actually snowing again now a little bit. Here’s some photos from tonight. I guess we don’t need WSWs for a “big” snow, I can’t believe RAH never put one out! 😂

I also just plowed the driveway for the first time in years!

What are you doing! You don't know where that finger's been!!
 
Can one of the more educated mets tell me what this precip over the Midwest/TN Valley means for our ULL. I got confirmation from someone in Bloomington, IN that flurries are indeed falling, at least for their location.
