Wintry February 19-21, 2020 Winter Storm

Maybe 2” in Elizabeth City. It was a lot deeper when I went to bed at 11pm. I’m guessing over 6” fell, but we never got below 33°.

I measured 4 inches here in Elizabeth City outside the hotel around 4 am this morning

Me too covered up all grass and weeds, anytime can do that it's a good snow.

My 4yr old did a snow angel and stayed out of the mud so definitely a good snow.

There's a good reason why call storms like these "overrunning" events. Isentropic upglide & warm advection ftw!

I'd guess i have 4 inches on the ground. I know more fell but the compaction was quick. Complete paste bomb. The snow stuck to everything and the trees looked cool this morning. Having trouble attaching pics at the moment.

There are lots of peculiar, interesting mesoscale details w/ the snow accumulations from this storm.

Agreed... in fact I was concerned my measurements would seem "suspicious" haha, but I did it twice all over this morning. Not really sure why this exact spot is an inch higher than others

Looks like you made out a little better than it looked like you might mid-storm. Street sticker at all?

One of my favorite storms...got 2", kids got to play in the snow. Was great to see the snow fall from about 3pm-11pm.

I thought NAM's did a great job, they were to aggressive but they were all over the storm from 84 hours out when the globals had nothing.

See any polar bear or moose?

Tracks all in the front yard but no actual sighting yet

Hoping to get a few pics uploaded. On the pic of the bumper of my truck notice the bottom layer of snow and see if you can tell how much compaction occured.

The late Fail Feb sun is burning my middling snowcover away.

Oh cool!! I know that we had more when I went to bed. Look like it compacted pretty good here at my place. I’m really glad you got to see a good snowfall. The plus is the roads are clear after 4”!! When are planning on heading out?

The amount of accumulation I had between the time I left to take my wife at 9:15 until 10:20 was impressive. I think it fooled me because the flakes were not big but it was like a flizzard on steroids. Those tiny flakes really piled up fast. Only thing I can come up with is that the 850s were crashing and our ratios went from 6:1 to the usual 10:1?

This is so cool! Anyone on here in that area right now?

RDU received 2.5" of snow with .47" of QPF. That close to 1:5 ratios (I'm sure it was lower for folks south of there). If it had been 1:10 (normal) ratios we would have seen 5-7" readings across the Triangle. But not complaining. Glad for what I got.
