Checkout how bad the ice maps performed. Just posting 1 but we had over 10 pages of the FRAM ice maps and other models. Yes there was some ice but mostly a light glaze.
6z GFS is futherest east with its inland track through NC, than it has been
Should be

Light flurries in Rock Hill. Can’t wait for that band to come through and top off the sleet ??
I guess we gonna rip it one more time in the Springs before the final total. What a storm and endless potential going forward!
Ready.. let’s put a cherry on this sucker

1" accumulation here (versus 4" of snow fall) = 25% stick rate. hi res models did pretty good job reflecting the differences of snow vs snowdepth, IMO
still about 90 minutes worth of precip to go, and should do better than a 25% stick rate here on out now that it's getting dark

All I need from this band is .2” to have my first 1” total since April 2019… Come on baby!!!!

Lmao. The Blob delivered!
Here it comes!Yeah these ice maps are always just so overdone, but I really feel like you could see it yesterday by looking at the soundings. The areas that the short range models were putting down the most ice were areas that forecast soundings were keeping predominantly sleet. I still think these models have difficulty distinguishing between sleet and ZR on their surface output

1" on the snowboard, definitely not the high amounts the models were projecting but it's better than last winter. The black ice later tonight will likely be all over the place from all the melting.

Even though us folks on the eastern/I20 side of Atl live in eternal screw zone, it seems to me that the Euro, NAM, HRRR and GFS all did a solid job of predicting “nothing”….as I type this I realize some may take this as a rant/banter but I’m truly speaking succinctly abt model verification. All of those showed a very sharp cut off w very ltl accumulation and markedly higher totals on N side of Walton Co which based upon Gulf and Monger appeared to verify to a much lesser extent than modeled. Irregardless, it seemed they did better here. Maybe that’s because the bust potential of forecasting 0 is much less than putting accumulations out?. Congrats to everyone who got in on the action today and hopefully Fri pans out. I’m headed for Beech a week from today irregardless so one way or another hopefully will see snow accumulations at some point!!
yooooo

I feel like it’s going to be close man. Last short range model I looked at has it dying when it comes! We shall see!

Power still out. Light snow falling again from the backside. Worst winter storm here in quite a few years.

I can't believe I got this in some type of crazy fangled Miller B apps runner setup, but ended up with 2 inches snow, 2 inches sleet for 4 cold inches. Very pleasantly surprised, no complaints. Wedge CAD did its work. Surprised I got up to 30 but it held tight.
May squeak out another inch out of this blob coming up from the south?

Come to papa. Mack screenshit ftw
Light snow in Crown Town....again. This time its not in liquid or bb form 
It really looks like in the higher tilts that thing is trying to pull a feb 2013 and turn into a mesoscale convective vortex

Just wasn't our storm. Hopefully, these next possibilities delivers for us!

Flurries here
Snowing here now!
can’t agree on this one but I wish. Still a nice sloth of dusting to 1” coming through
and at nighttime with temperatures already close to freezing and the ground already covered…I can only hope

32 degrees, backend snow just began in MBY near SouthPark in Charlotte. All snow.
Last snow we had here was around daybreak this morning; sleet since then, followed by ZR & rain accumulation of about 1.5 inches right now. Looks like we’re getting a little bonus to end the storm.

Nah I just didn’t believe the 12-18” forecast from the twc. It did not occur here or in Surry. I was in line with light accums for sure tho

When y'all post the radar images, do y'all mind explaining what y'all are pointing out or trying to predict? Some of us are newbies
Looks like its winding down outside of some flurries. Officially 2" for me.
