Need that deathband please. If we can do a caps-style comeback (sorry canes fans) I will take back my dooming

Just a few random flurries in the street light. It's like I live on a different planet than everyone

Jebman from AmWx. Walk while snow is falling. Learned it on the Mid Atlantic board
(Ji would not be able to bear Raleigh snow climo)

The fact that I missed a double digit snow at my house and I am in Cary with a 1/4” on the ground is something that will haunt me for months. Lol

I wonder how much Wildreman got.
Yeah, a Mid-Atlantic poster by the name of Jeb at AmericanWx back in the day (late 2000s / early 2010s) used to go for long walks in the snow, and called them Jeb Walks. The slang caught on and people, including myself, use it to this day, even though I suspect many don't know what it means at this point, LOL! Jeb may still post at AmericanWx in the MA subforum, but I am not sure.
I think I became quite familiar with it from following the two Mid-Atlantic Snowmageddon storms of 2010 over at AmericanWx. I followed the Mid-Atlantic's thread pretty closely; it was insane to read even though MBY in NC got shafted from those.

Same except in Forsyth. I guess the silver lining is that we didn’t have to drive far to see good snow

That was f’ing crazy. I was 6 years old when it happened and oh my god my dad and I built an igloo in our backyard! We had like 5 feet of snow on the ground. Silly me thought that was a normal Baltimore winter.
Jeb still posts in there. He was wishing us luck for last week’s storm (got 7” of snow and 3.5” of sleet)
wow

At least for our neck of the woods! Seeing the models converge on our area as the meso-low jackpot in the last 24-48 hrs really had me going. I knew something good was going to happen but I had to still see it to believe it!
I've been waiting for the true foot since 1988. Even the Feb 2014 storm wasn't counting with the wet snow and immediate melt after the ULL pulled out.
Unrelated but having an EV in the household is such a nice thing in weather like this. I had to move the vehicles around earlier because of the blowing snow and it's so nice having near instant heat when hopping in.

Charleston being in a WSW for 3-5” of snow and most of the immediate metro maybe getting 1/2” at most is a hilarious bust. It was our time to get skunked. Myrtle Beach did in 2018, Columbia has for years so it made sense it was us
I hope we can get another chance for RDU and points south to legitimately score before the winter is over. This was a painful near-miss.

Yeah having major FOMO. Realize this was never “our storm” but getting blanked was shocking and unexpected.

I got 50 inches in February alone in Northern Loudoun County. Probably never to be duplicated.

Congrats to all the NC peeps. Looks like one to be remembered for a long time.

It’s snowing 2-3”/hr rates now in Raleigh, I’m savoring every second

Yeah expectations weren’t high like the Carolinas obviously but I was pretty confident our areas would see 2” with a chance to over perform to 4”. When you rely on banding so many miss out. Hopefully the next one is a more widespread event.
Id eat raw chicken for 30 minutes in one of these bands. I don't even remember what true heavy snow is like. I would guess 2018 is the last time i saw heavy snow
wow

Every storm has their winners and losers. Last weekend I was hoping to get Big Snow, then the trends happened a few days prior (thanks AI models) and ended up with ICE... and a brand new generator which I've yet to start up. 
... thanks Sleet!
Finally hit the jackpot the following weekend and it's never when you really expect it.. they just.. happen. Yours will comes.. the chase is the best part of the ride.

21 here right now, Is it really gonna hit 10 tonight? It better get to moving if its getting that low
We'll take it out tomorrow afternoon most likely. It's an Equinox RS with all wheel drive so the curb weight is a hair over 4900lbs. The previous Volkswagen ID4 was FWD and did just fine in our big snow last January.
