Not sure about Mitch but here in West Columbia which is in same county as Mitch it’s been a dud so far. Snowing since 8 this morning. Tiny flakes with very little accumulation. Almost looks like sun wants to come out now

I'm far from one to complain and moan, but I'm hoping things pick up from an intensity (although, I've had moderate snow off and on) and rates purpose or else this feels "meh."

This storm currently (I'm gonna use the word "currently") feels like the one from last January where it snowed pixie flakes for about 8 or 9 hours, and I only ended up with 1.5-2 inches. I'm awaiting to see what later this afternoon and evening has to offer.

With that said, it's still beautiful to watch and we could be getting blanked (both are positives).

Going to watch the royal rumble this afternoon so I can feel better knowing that there are millions of other bozos believing in things that aren't real

I grew up watching Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling on WRAL and Georgia Championship Wrestling on WTBS. Those were the days that wrestling was real to me.

I like the NWS 2-5 call for RDU. I think we can pull that off. We still have a ways to go with this storm. If we get under some of those heavier returns, it won’t take much to get to 3 inches.

Yeh man, it's the worst IMO. We had that here in Cola with last years snow event. I am sure it adds up quick when you can fully saturated the column, but man we had that for like 12 hours straight here in SC last Winter with the Gulf storm & it added up to a wopping 0.9 of an inch.

Also happened in Cola back in the late 2010s. Big winter storm that radar showed blue all over the midlands fir hours. Cola got a few flurries.

No. It's called T-glottalization and it's well studied by linguists. It grew beyond solely a regional dialect and expanded due to the internet especially among younger females.

Sort of. The broadcast journalism programs where young people learn the "news voice" are heavily populated with that and other vocal irregularities. The women especially are pushed to lower their voices as higher tones are too often mis-interpreted as shrill. I've known quite a few on camera folks over the years including current young ones and they all sound what I'd call normal off camera with whatever natural dialect they have.

I don't hear the T dropped in the middle of words until I get well up into Ohio. That's a little different than us southerners slurring our way around the English language.
 
Is WBTV Charlotte really showing the Utah St vs San Diego St basketball game during an historic snowstorm in Charlotte? Come on now..!! For some reason it doesn’t feel like they are truly “on your side” atm! 😆

I am from Atlanta originally and my personal record for snowfall is 5” (last year actually). We are about to blow this out of the water - this is actually surreal to see play out in real life vs. the pretty colors on the models
 
Really feels like the mets have no idea what's going to happen with winter storm threats here until it happens. Some folks getting a lot more snow than was expected and forecasted while others get nothing. The best they can do is look at the HRRR and 3K NAM 12 hours out and make a guess based.on what they show.
 
The way it’s been snowing today idk how there isn’t a foot on the ground out here. Zero lull’s. It’s one big death band
 
Although we aren't going to score like GSP or CLT, I feel better about our chances in the Raleigh area to get a couple of inches. Better than a complete shutout like December 2000 or January 2011, I guess.

Maybe but we will not see a set up like this again for perhaps a long time. Super cold on both ends of the event

I'm not really seeing that. What I see on future casts are though is the coastal not backing-in with precip. We're just getting the ULL

On Radar Scope there appears to be a huge dry slot to our south moving due north. Don’t see how that wouldn’t negatively affect snowfall in the triangle. Seems our only hope is when the ULL moves out later tonight to pick up and inch or two.

They are paid to do more than just look at a couple models. They need to be held accountable for these last two weeks.

This hook area you mean below correct? What is just off to the west looks to be moving S->N and not building east so makes sense right now I suppose

Believe me you want none of what people got north of you from last weekend 😂 Still snow and ZR on everything but I’m 700$ poorer and that’s probably the low end for most out here.

Yeah that was the area I was referring to. Seems some models have that area filling in later this evening but the way things have been going I find it hard to believe. Fingers crossed we get a miracle
