Can you imagine how beautifully dry and powdery that snow is? That's Utah level dry.

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.

45" is the new benchmark for this storm. Somebody is gonna eclipse 4 feet soon
I think if I had 2 feet of snow and there was 3.5 feet of snow 8 miles down the road I would just stay home and enjoy my 2 feet. But what do I know. If I got 6” I would feel like I was in the middle of the apocalypse ?

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
Or....we are due
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?

It was one county to the west ?
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.

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

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.

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.
I can give you a break if you'd like
