Looks like if you get it to change over to all snow it piles up quicky.
Not gonna lie, much quicker than I anticipated
Damn whole lot of moisture left to
Seeing what looks like maybe flakes mixing in now, though maybe it’s just some bigger rain drops. Setting my alarm for 1:20, in any case, maybe we’ll be switching over by then...
Mixing here.
All rain here

I stand corrected. It is currently snowing moderately with big flakes and the temp is down to 33.4. And we suddenly have a quick dusting on the grass. BUT...this band is almost through here and the back edge is approaching Forsyth County already.

It's been mixing here for 40-45 minutes but hasn't really ever gotten any closer to fully changing over. It's too late to matter much now. Hope everyone to the east has better luck!
Rain/Snow mix increasing now west of Winston.
Good luck you guys to the East. Looks like this will be yours.
Good luck you guys to the East. Looks like this will be yours.
Some of the rain is starting to look a bit whitish here, but it's tough to tell in the dark. I'll keep an eye out regardless.

Big flakes and heavy rates.....works every time.
Just need that surface temp to get down to 30 or so to really lock in accumulations.....
Yeah, that’s what I’m seeing too. I don’t know if it’s just me seeing things or not though.

Saw a report on Facebook that it is snowing 21 miles to my north in Franklin County.
I got a feeling I'm gonna wake up to some low hanging tree limbs

Still coming down hard?
I’m telling y’all she finna over preform modeling low key isn’t showing the snow coverage as well I think it’s more expansive and HRRR has a weird cut of dry air moving into northern NC but that’s not even shaking up rn .. and the model still gives us more snow than last run .. close to 4 inches .. WHERE IS MY WINTER STORM WARNING

It’s not just you buddy, I’m in Graham. Starting to mix here as well.
Awesome! I’m in Graham too!
Yea, I think it's mixing and pretty much rate driven. Probably 80% rain/ 20% white rain right NOW. But stay tuned.

This band over east Forsyth does mean business. Solid dusting on the grass and I'm even seeing signs of snow on the road. Big flakes for sure and we are now under 33. Another hour of this and we would get an inch but I don't know if it will last that long.
Starting to switch over fast now.

The air mass is pretty uniform over central and eastern NC, the flip should happen pretty fast everywhere over the next hr or so especially north of 264....the 925 temps are crashing into NC pretty fast....the biggest killer is how fast it all ends....most models have it over by 7am for most west of hwy 17 in NC....
FWIW seems HRRR has slowed it down a little and beefed up accums a smidge again. Seeing how quickly it is piling up I'll not be surprised if someone between me and you get 5"
I think I'm all snow now.

Watching Greg Fishel's livestream right now and seeing reports of ground covered in Roxboro and mixing starting in Wake Forest. We should be switching over any minute now in the Triangle! Temp here in Cary down to 36.5.
Man, last I checked, I was pretty much all rain. Maybe a few snowflakes a while back, but I’m probably not seeing it right.

I'm still stuck at 36/37 and its all rain as of 10 mins ago, still a little to warm at 925 here I think.....but a few raindrops had that I was just a snowflake look to them so its working on getting it cooled down.....need it to slow down 2-3 hrs at 1" a hr that would take a 2-4" event to a 5-6" event...
Best I can tell roads are covered and quickly approaching 1" and with that I'm out for the night. Good luck everyone!

Still waiting here. Temp at 36.
Yeah it's really pretty. I have some big flakes coming down. As others have said it's rate driven.
It’s barely raining here.
Rain and 39 in Garner
You're on the right side of the lake.
Still mixing here w/ rain the predominant precip type on the Wake/Durham line. I feel like I can smell the snow from here though.
