I almost feel bad saying this but it's picking up.

Thanks for the downwind report. Expecting it to start any second here.
Wow legit snow shower here in apex!
Heavier returns headed to me. Hopefully I didn’t get out of bed for naught
Finishing up here… just a few flakes still flying. That band didn’t have the punch here that it did just N and W, but I’m still finishing up with right at 1 inch of sleet/snow…about .2”. of ice accrual though some did melt off when temps warmed briefly to 33 for a couple hours this afternoon. Very thankful that sleet held down the ice total

Some night pictures to wrap it up. So peaceful outside right now. If this is the only one this year it was a good one....but let’s do it again.

27/25 with a light snow west of Winston to wrap this thing up. I started off with about 3" of light fluffy snow this morning and ended up with about 4" of ice pellets and packed snow after sleet all afternoon. I'll have to deal with the 2' deep piles on the deck that poured off the roof tomorrow. Congrats to all that got a chance to enjoy this one! A good time was had by all here; the sleet made for easy sledding.

Light rain/snow mix started a few minutes ago
As I typed that, it picked up and is now nearly all snow

Dorm fire alarm going off neat everyone will get to see it if it snows
Wow big fat flakes now too! I doubt we can accumulate but it’s coming down great!

Actually I just spoke with family near Sanford and it snowed there in that band.
Light precip starting here. But not sure what it is yet.
Do you mind if I ask which dorm? My daughter goes to State
Snow is starting to mix
Still lightly snowing here and it looks like the lake has formed a sheet of ice on top and it is turning white also. In my 27 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.
Can’t wait until sunrise.

I’m just north of campus. Time to go stand under a streetlight, it’s starting to mix here too.
Large flakes! What a send off! 
Flizzard conditions here in western Raleigh

Looks like some tiny flakes mixed in with rain but nothing crazy. Will see when I get under some of those returns.
It’s trying so hard to flip. The fire alarm is still going off and we’re all standing outside. This is a surreal experience

Keeps switching back and forth here.
Light precip started mixed, but now all snow at the Wake/Durham line. 
So over the next couple of days can we take a vote on which long range and short range models handled this event the best?
Just can’t quite seem to do it here. Definite mix
I love views like this! I likely picked up another coating within the hour.

20 seconds of all snow now back to mix
Raining again in SE Wake with snow 5 miles up the road again. Lol

Went back to mainly rain here. Ridiculous
Thats a wrap.Down to Flurries. Last band got us across the 4 inch mark for storm total. Over performer here imo. All models only shaded us a half inch to o accums mostly. 1 County to far east, but the pendullum swung in our favor on this one.
