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°.

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?
Yeah covered my road last night but sun already doing work on that. Of course, remember I'm in the country on one of them there secondary roads, you know how they are Lol
 
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.
 
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.

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

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?
