We may not get above freezing between the 2 storms. I would expect some loss due to compaction and sublimation.

NWS says close to 40 for you on Sat but that may be optimistic.

How long did it take for you to changeover: What was your high today before Precip started? Thanks and Good luck / congrats on your snow
Yup. Story of our lives in the QC. Yesterday looked better for us, but today not so much. (BTW your profile pic is very descriptive as to what we Charlottean's have been and will be doing tonight). Wishing you guys in the Triangle all the luck though.
Never doubt the power of the sun. I’ve seen the sun go scorched earth with full sunshine on snow even with temperatures in the low 20s. The shady spots should be good, though.

It's incredible. I've seen snow melt at 20 degrees under bright sunny skies.
Yep the sun is hot, it melts snow and ice.....
The avatar is illustrative of Carolinians being snow fans. So I thought...this fits.

SREF Plumes will make you feel bullish as this sun sets this afternoon.
I go back to the 12z runs loving Pitt, Edgecombe, Rocky Mount area....gotta love the cluster between 4-6.5 there

I wouldn’t be surprised if a day of full sunshine with a high of 25 is worse for snowcover than a cloudy day with a high of 40. The sun is pretty brutal.

And we are getting further and further away from solstice.
The Para has sure been a beacon of consistency for the past couple days. Looks like it’s staying the course with its axis of heaviest snow from Greensboro to Durham to Rocky Mount. We’ll see if it’s right. Surely, it’s overdone with amounts at the very least.

Not looking good for Birdman

The GFS Para 18z above would be exactly what we would get if we started as snow and temp 32.
I just hope the Snow -Wellfare Crowd in Wake County Over performs for once.

I try to temper expectations but the 18Z GFS shows that NE to SW banding setup over the interior coastal plains that we see whenever we get good events here.....that low strength and placement is textbook perfect for us down here if this pans out.....to bad we cant slow the damn thing down a bit....

That takes out southern half of wake for accums. Ooof.
Been there...takes floodlight hallucinations to a whole new level.

Nice break in the clouds for a good chunk of NC, should allow for a bit of cooling before the cloud deck moves in later tonight. May not have any impact but worth noting.
Eww

It's not a surprise, sadly. Every hour we lose is 2" off the totals lol
See those low clouds in northeast NC kept temps in the mid 40's here now if it'll clear out I could do some rapid cooling before those clouds move in.

The HRRR has been slowly reducing totals for the Triad from around 4" down to 1-3" now.
It really is a perfect fit. Bravo. I guess on the bright side there is no need to stay up late tonight. So, I should be able to get a solid 8 hours.
The HRRR giveth and it will also taketh away. However, 1-3" is still better than nothing.

You hate to lose the potential of a system like this to surface temps. Really is frustrating.
Looks like a sharp cutoff it’s painting from east to west. Interestingly enough, the opposite of what we normally see. Could easily see Gibsonville getting 2-4” while Winston-Salem gets nearly shutout. NE NC from Henderson to Roanoke Rapids is looking pretty good, IMO. Buckle up, @metwannabe!!!
