So I’m curious which model was most correct 5-6 days out with this storm? Was it the Euro or GFS? Did either completely whiff on anything?

It’s been lightly-moderately snowing for 2 hours now, looks like we’re getting in the 2.7-2.9 range

I’m going to go ahead and call it. 7” was my final total. Got about half an inch of sleet and a light glaze of ice.

2.5” here and still ripping.

Here in western Raleigh I ended up with about 0.2-0.3" of scattered sleet accumulation with a glaze of ice on top before temperatures rose above freezing. Almost no snow whatsoever

The "reach around" snow with the ULL delivered. Myers Park in Charlotte is a postcard.

Hmm a new band has developed on i40 between hickory and Asheville. This could also impact the Charlotte areas since it could rotate inside the current meso band

Even now we are still getting a few snow showers occasionally. Definitely one of the best snows in a few years.

We may have to get jimmy to just pull us out ?

I need help too. Paging @SNOWMANN

One thing I noticed this evening is just how much soil and road temperatures have dropped here in the last 2 weeks after that long stretch of warm and humid weather. We managed to spend a couple hours in the 33-34 degree range this afternoon for a couple hours. So a lot of what was on the ground turning slushy, but as soon the temperature went back to 32 and it was dark, all the slush started getting that crunchy sound to it as it was refreezing. Safe to say, no one can say anything about soil temperatures going into whatever might come later this week

Yes there’s a little bit of feeling like I missed something but we’re having a blast. And we were a part of the same storm. And my 4 year old son can always remember the time he got over a foot of snow at a cabin with his dad up in the mountains. We built a snow cave today and we’ll build another tomorrow. What a storm.

This is what it’s all about. Love it! Great memories.

Puking snow, death band has begun

This seemed like a redemption storm for a lot of people who have been shut out in recent years! Congrats to all. Now we can all reset and hope we can score another. One at a time folks!

Pretty nice coating from the backend alone here so far

Curious.. did anyone in Middle Georgia around Macon see anything? Radar indicated there may have been some flurries there earlier this afternoon.

 

[griteater]

Total is 3.2 inches of snow and sleet. Solid storm. Gusty winds and road coverage were bonuses

 

[LukeBarrette]

Back to all snow about 20 minutes and still puking good!
