Still have no idea how Durham and Orange aren’t under Winter Storm Warnings. Sounds like both counties had the majority of their area reach warning criteria. Meanwhile, we get WWAs for cold rain.

some of you guys need to step up your lawn game
Yeah that’s what I wanted and we easily surpassed that. After that, any additional accumulation is just icing on the cake. You get a white blanket either way!
Hoping we can do a relatively decent job holding on to our snowcover tomorrow with the ULL hopefully keeping things cloudy. Because the late February sun is going to be out for blood. Honestly, don’t expect the south facing hills to make it out alive, but would be nice for the generally sunny, flat areas to make it to Friday.
The storm that doesn’t want to quit

Do you notice the ULL already producing more precip than modeled over the TN Valley?

This hrrr run trying to print out some isolated 1.5-2” amounts from the convective snow band in Rowan/iredell/meck/cabarrus county. Impressive
Looks like we could have off and on snow showers for quite a while longer

Okay I need you to go study up on 1/23/03. I’m not saying it’ll happen but it has several similarities.
i feel like the storm saw those out-to-lunch models bombing the forecasts less than 24 hours in and was like "hmmm no, i'll show them what im really about"

Closing in on 3" of sleet...still pouring sleet
Interesting features within this band looks like eddies or perhaps mini meso lows ?
Yea, I posted about that in the other thread. Durham/Orange got more than Wake did, but ya'll are under an advisory..
I mean I dunno if it's that big a deal? 3-4'' gives the same enjoyment regardless of the NWS product you're under. But I also wonder what's the point of having criteria if it ain't being applied?
Still baby flakes flying here 27/19

Same, don’t see any grass, basically just a solid crust of ice covering everything, including the roads. Interstate heading out of town is pretty thrashed, just got home from picking up the wife. This would have been a good one if all snow, QPF was definitely there. Kudos to the models which showed a QPF max extending SW from the Albermarle through Pitt, that’s typical for these coastals.

Looks like there's 3 bands of snow, one thru the southside(7 cities) a 2nd one extending thru emporia, wakefield onto the peninsula, and a surprisingly heavy band extending from Richmond NE towards the Chesapeake. I'm not sure if that one was modeled well, I think I remember the NAM showing something like that the other day when it was way NW with precip?

Warm nose is stout and not going anywhere anytime soon!
Yes and it was definitely a fly in the ointment for GSP that night
Getting another burst of moderate snow
I can tell those returns over Union County is some very big snowflakes and sleet pellets mixed. I’ve officially got my 2nd dusting of the day.

My folks in Hope Mills reported 0.12” of ice and about 0.3” of sleet. No snow down in the Fayetteville, NC as expected

Sleet finally over! Back to 1-2"/hour rates. 4 hours to get to the promised land!
Just went on this 90 minute walk with 3 shots of really good scotch in the cup, covered 3.5 miles in the heaviest snow of the day, this is why we do this
As a tidbit, this is currently the single biggest storm here since January 3rd, 2018. I measured 10.5in in that storm.. not as much wind with this one however!
January 23, 2003. All forecasts for the SC upstate and the NC southern Piedmont and foothills was for 1-2” of snow. However about 5 or 6 hours before the event started short term models started to show the the development of a mesolow that GSP called a fly in the ointment to their forecast in the evening discussion. The storm ended dumping as much as 18” across the southern foothills and 6-9” across CLT metro in just a few hours. There was thundersnow and it was an unheard of around here 40:1 snow to liquid ratio. CLT officially got 8.5” at the airport with only .15 QPF
