Got to be closing in on 2" at the house.
 
Already at 0.85" at my location ITB Raleigh. I'll take it given that many (most?) models had far less for the entire event.

Trees significantly attenuating the radar beam to the south. Have to select a higher elevation angle (Tilt 2 or above) to get full reflectivity.

Surprised they haven't taken a saw to those trees yet.
