The learnings from this event will likely need to be that cold chasing moisture over the apps without a cold feed from the north already established / to tap into never ever ever works out for central NC
The NWS has just corrected this down from 3” to 2” though it’s still a very nice hit:

That’s Trisha Yearwoods hometown I think
Still coming down here although it should be ending within the hour. We have definitely had a couple of bursts of moderate snow with larger flakes. Ground temperatures have limited accumulations but I'm thinking we're going to end up with just under an inch.
I'm definitely not complaining considering we got up to 62° yesterday!

Just made a harrowing drive from Atlanta to Augusta on I-20. Very heavy snow from about Conyers to Thomson, was whiteout conditions. Currently mixing in Evans, GA. A few cars wrecked around Lake/Greensboro . Very quick transitions as well, was fun but a little scary haha
Heavy snow/rain mix in Aiken, SC. Trying to pull it up 20.

I headed southwest to Wrens. There is a dusting of snow on the ground where I'm at.
I'm honestly not sure I needed to though. When I was driving, it started trying to change over at the temp it's at near the house.
My dad's not thrilled. I'm going to try and head back now I believe... but I'll peek at the radar first.

Hey, El K! I've got roofs covered, and patches of ivy with white leaves, but mostly underwhelming. Glad you got some to stick.
Thanks, Tony! Here's hoping a sleet storm is in the cards for you soon!

Still hovering around 43F in Raleigh. Warmer than the 12z NAM forecast by a few degrees and not too far off from the hrrr

The camera in Macon just basically shows the snow is gone already

As a whole. What model would you say handled this system the best? I think the HRRR was pretty solid. At least for my area

Certainly not enthused by temps across the Carolinas this AM. My local station is showing 41. We shall see. I want to hope that graphic from NWS RAH is right. 
I think it may be a little early to get lessons learned, what model performed the best, etc. It’s not over yet!

we did get 0.08 of rain, so that’s kinda like snow

Warm, wet ground certainly isn’t the best for snowcover’s staying power, sadly.
Back edge pulling out quickly. Well done SGA crew

Raleigh/The whole triangle area I am confident is just gonna get rain. Trends are strongly against us and the cold won't be strong enough. If we were just a few degrees colder this could have all been snow 
Terrible luck like alwaysFlo

Barely visible drizzle by lake murray
It’s gone as in melted already or gone as in stopped?

Thought I saw rain try and mix in as I entered Richmond County but the Blythe status is 33, all snow, dusting too.
Gah this was so close to being very interesting. Now I need to GPS myself to a gas station, or my dad may have my head (I have no clue where I'm going).

What if I told you 10 years ago there’d be a storm that jackpotted Macon Georgia, skipped everyone else, then Boston
