Suns coming out. Still have light flurries.
theyre so big but so fluffy, i can see straight through them as they pile down from the sky right now. total snowglobe.
i realllly want to take a walk at falls lake later (multiple of the trails are less than a 10 minute drive from my house), but the parking at those are rough when it has just rained a good bit... with this snow, i might not be able to get my car back out to drive home lol. might be an unnecessary risk, but boy i bet it is gorgeous along the lake right now

Did mitch ever get snow? It was snowing near myrtle beach lol
Sun is zapping everything away
I think you all have more on the roads than we did since you all got more of your snow in the late afternoon and after dark.

Another burst of fluff coming out of the sky. End for me is a couple of counties away but can't complain about how this event ended up at all

That late February sun don't play.
Gosh, I’m jealous. Further north always wins around here lol. It’s just been light snow here. Nice to look at but not going to add up to anything and the roads are melting off while the snow falls.
Sun staring to poke through now.
Ripping again.

Conway, SC getting snow
Preliminary 72-hour snowfall from the NOHRSC as of 7am this morning, and season-to-date totals.
Impressive footprint with this most recent system. Central MS still waiting on their storm, not sure they get it but I'll be rooting for them.

Roads are actually better than before the morning snow. Sun is behind thin clouds doing work
Decent snow right now down this way. I'll take it, expected nothing !

Get in the car Jimmy. Its 9 degrees up there at Lunchtime. They are waiting on ya.
A little bit of back building on radar but that should only be light snow. Still that may keep the sun at bay for another hour. This fluffy top layer will not last long in the sun.

It's been snowing here for 2 hours now. Light to moderate rates with big flakes. Very good "mood" snow to finish off the event. I haven't measured, but it wouldn't surprise me if we added 0.5" more on top of our 3". This is the kind of storm where snow boards are useful, while clearing it out every 6 hours to measure.
we all need to pour one out for the dry slots in NC that simply could not pull it together to bank anything from this event - looks like some spots NE of CLT, and then the Hickory-ish area too? and of course the lower SE section of the state near the beaches, but that was expected.

Sun came out and obliterated the morning snow. Barely anything left.

Don't worry a repeat of March 1927 is coming in a week or two.
It’s like Usain Bolt fast

My forecast map vs. actual snowfall map (from NC Climate Office). For the amount of uncertainties that I had going into this one... this is a pretty dang good forecast. Today's second round of snow probably stretched the 1-2" zone further west and south to almost match my map and we know mountain peaks are getting a nice boost of snow from today's northwest flow snow event to be closer to my map as well. Pretty pleased with this forecast overall when I thought it was one of more difficult ones I ever made.
Sun is starting to peek through the clouds. Hope we can hold the sun off for another hour or two since 3pm sun won’t be nearly as brutal as 1pm sun. I was hoping to try to do some sledding after work.
Think I hit on pretty much all of these, except slightly too low IMBY (should’ve went 2-4” like my weenie self wanted to lol), and I think I might’ve been low in PGV (they got very little snow but I think they might’ve ended up over 3” in sleet alone). I think RIC barely made 3”.

Hard to tell how much we got but 3" is a safe bet all sleet here but in town they probably pulled a .5-1" of snow yesterday when it flipped for a hr.

I actually think it was forecasted decently by the models. It’s just nobody expected 20:1 ratios. .03-.05 liquid produced an inch of snow. Makes sense bc that precip came from the 700mb level I believe.
The precip in South Carolina was from low level convergence and not as deep. Hence the ratios were bad, even sleet, but they actually got more precip under these bands I bet.

I’ll take March / April 1915. Most of this area’s snowfall that winter came in the last week of March and first week of April, including this historic one.
EDIT: And ouch for CLT on this one.

Caveat that places like Charlotte and big frosty started off this morning with the low level convergence precip… then they got in on the 700mb tongue later on. So they had a little of both types
The irony is that you probably had a much higher impact event than us further west. That sleet is going to be much harder to melt! 3” of sleet is serious! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten more than 2” of it.
