I ended up with 1.5” of sleet from this banger..edit: or maybe this was just a weenie run I screenshotted. The dates don’t add up. Either way lolView attachment 58232

Funny enough even though the date became the 9th, I got pretty close to the amount shown on that map (Map shows around 9 inches or 10 inches for me, I got 9)

Having a massive arctic high funneling in a frigid low level cold air mass with very moist atlantic air overriding this arctic air mass can do really strange things. A set up of a lifetime for some of those upstate NY areas who weren't expecting much days ago. People in the mid-atlantic forums were discounting when the NAM was showing a northern trend(and even the NAM didn't pick up on those big totals until 12 or so hours ago). Too busy riding the GFS/Euro.

Can you imagine how pissed off the snow weenies are in Binghamton ? So close to an epic snowstorm and yet they only get 24" ?

---- I'd get in my car and start driving if the good stuff was that close. Have to dig it out but heck only 7-8 miles down the road there's nearly 3.5-4 feet?

Looks like it was a weenie run I saved but I remember either December 17’ or 18’ the Euro had a 30” weenie run for the Carolinas inside 200 hours. Pain

I remember the 00z Euro had a weenie 20”+ run for GSO the night before the February 2014 storm. We got 7.5”, so it was a good storm, but 20” it was not. But the Euro is infallible, folks.
 
Pretty cool how you can see a surface low spinning south of Long Island on this infrared radar.

You're bringing back good memories. In 2010 I was stationed (military) in Washington, DC and lived just on the outskirts.

December 2009 to Febraury 2010 we had the Snowmageddon and Snowpocalypse storms. Those were once in a lifetime experiences. IIRC, the February storms were actually back to back Nor'Easters within a few days of one another but my recollection might be lacking. Nonetheless, we had 3ft of snow when it was all said and done.

I just wanna see a foot of snow in a single storm before I die.

My grandparents have lived down here in Fayetteville since 1959, there hasn't been a single one footer in the entire time they've been here. In the prior 60 years, there were at least four 12"+ snowstorms in Fayetteville (Feb 1899, Feb 1914, Mar 1927, & Dec 1958), there have been none in the following 60 years.

We suck

Now that's crazy to think about considering where I live in West Georgia we managed two 12+ inch snowfalls in my lifetime so far in 1993 and Dec. 2018 and I thought I would never see another after 93' fingers crossed you get yours

You have higher elevation which helps. Fayetteville, NC is close to sea level.

How close was Fayetteville to getting a foot in January 2000?
 
Very slick in spots enough to cancel school for the second day in a row here. Was just a two hour delay. Sure could use a break from winter weather.
 
My dad in Lebanon, NH is probably in the 2+ foot range but it's a bit hard to know for sure because he doesn't have a ruler, apparently ?

This was taken around 7am. The heaviest rates there have only maintained, if not picked up, since. ------, man.

Sounds like it's been a rough winter there. Don't worry, spring will be here soon.

Two snow days here in Wilkes is prob more days off then those who got 40” up north. Board of education once said, 12” on Monday is no school for the entire week. 40” would shut us down for a month.
