Shot per mile? Those are rookie numbers.
I remember Jan 2000 and the 20” that fell in Rock Hill, and I think 2ft in Raleigh? Was that setup in any way shape or form like what’s going on tonight and in the am with the ULL approaching ?
birther regionSomething to keep in mind about this ULL is that areas that see snow it will likely be fairly high ratio powder, say 15-20:1.
No, it was a late blooming coastal more akin to today’s system. January 23, 2003, on the other hand…

BUFKIT has been showing that. The max QPF on the HRRR was .17. At 20:1 that’s just about 4”

Yeah, even if those precip streamers occur, and even if they occur over our houses, and even if they put down snow instead of rain... it may not do us any good. I haven't been below freezing yet and its still 36.5 degrees with nowhere to wetbulb too.

How bad are we expecting the roads to be tomorrow afternoon? Had planned a trip up north, but not sure it’s smart to go now..

It’s gonna be cloudy and cold most of the day tomorrow so I can imagine not a whole lot of improvement

We should be around freezing when those bands possibly develop, but yea... we're always begging for scraps here. I hate this storm.

It’s still snowing here. Nothing on radar though

I would think main roads would be OK late afternoon.
Enjoy it out east!!!
Is it down east, or out east, or is it eastern NC?

Funny story about Tomm ULL .... Sort of Sad bc had this Southern Wave didn't choose to dig and make like "Whitesnake" and Walk Alone as modeled Saturdays EURO.... this would been the redux of FEB 2014. 7-10 Widespread across NC and the ones that get lucky with the ULL jumped 3-4" the next day. It was also a Weds night and ULL was Thursday.... Just sayin. I may never track another monster like PAX again but that's the one I discovered wxforums. I wish I still had all the screenshots I took of those epic runs and my point forecast from NWS 24hrs prior to go time. "Snow, Snow will be heavy at times Total Daytime Snow Accumulations of 6-8" Weds Night "Snow, Snow could be heavy at times Total Nighttime Snow Accumulation of 6-8" Thursday Snow Showers Possible Total Daytime Snow accumulations 1-3"
I77 Iredell is prime target for tomorrow obviously. Easy to chase north and south and best timing there with development at its prime. The clouds will form over the brushy mountains 
and just pour out heavy snow. I actually see enough to warrant a winter storm warning for Iredell and Mecklenburg Counties and maybe 1 tier of counties east of those. For 2-4”. - bird

I hope so. I guess it would be smarter to take I-85 rather than 95 as there was more sleet on the east side.

It will have more effect in the west
4" and still light to moderate snow
I know . My question was more a native NC confusion of what to call “that” part of NC

You playing with us Bird ? LKN Lake effect for me @SnowNinerI77 Iredell is prime target for tomorrow obviously. Easy to chase north and south and best timing there with development at its prime. The clouds will form over the brushy mountains
Downeast or eastern NC, never heard out east lol
This little guy enjoyed his first snow 
Hey Bird what about Wilkes, Surry, Yadkin Counties?I77 Iredell is prime target for tomorrow obviously. Easy to chase north and south and best timing there with development at its prime. The clouds will form over the brushy mountains

I got the precipitation type wrong over RDU, but the amounts were generally correct. Can't be too upset given how hard this storm was to forecast.
Yadkin may outdue Surry/Wilkes with an inch or so. A dusting to a coating for Wilkes/Surry altho need to monitor the brushy mountains they could pick up 1-4” as it just dumps on Iredell. That small micro mountain chain is really important in this type of setup as it snows itself out south and east.

I always say down east which usually means “east of Raleigh” to me. But everyone at the beach or coastal plain will be use to being called “down east” folks

I hope it tosses Forsyth County a little dusting so we can get the storm total to over 1 inch. INT apparently is reporting .77 in (per the local news media) and that's consistent with what we received today.

Down east is technically Carteret county but to me anything east of 95 is down east. I consider eastern wake county the end of the Piedmont and the fall line as a weird zone , I know it’s technically Piedmont but it feels nothing to me like Lexington greensboro and more like Wilson rocky mount Nashville

Yeah 95 is a good marker for being “down east”
Seeing a few isolated outages pop up in Duplin, Lenoir and Beaufort counties, nothing crazy, ranging from a couple hundred in Beaufort to 700 in Duplin.

3km Nam's thoughts on the tomorrow.
Technically, it is Carteret County east of Beaufort, where the people are still a little.... different
