The rah afd today actually mentioned some snow potential Tuesday and then the late week into the weekend system

There's this notion that always gets brought up that RAH is super duper conservative and never mention snow. That used to somewhat be the case. Now, they seem to be a lot more bullish and have to walk it down as we get closer.

RAH is anything but bullish they are usually the last to hop on the snow train and usually have to up their totals as we get an hour within an event lol

They seem to talk about it a lot more in advance than they used to.

Lol I’d take that and move on to Spring.

You may not want to. The last winter I can remember with this much blocking and also La Niña, it broke records in the spring. Unfortunately those records far outweighed the excitement of the winter.

Here are my preliminary snow & sleet accumulation maps for both NC & SC for the winter storm that wrapped up late yesterday.

Thanks for everyone's reports on here the last few days, they proved to be quite invaluable to this analysis.

Thanks for your hard work but no trace at all in southern meck county (south clt). I live off rea rd and 51. Good ole rain. Not that matters a ton. I know that’s a hard map to make

Yeah actually there were lots of trace reports via mping and others sent to me on social media as well as radar that supported trace amounts down there. Snow was reported even in northern Lancaster county in SC

Surprised Gaston County didn’t have more than that. It snowed for a while on radar and looked like it was dropping the hammer in videos on Twitter.

Great job Webb. Also wanted to mention what an impressive job you did with your preliminary snow map. I thought you were a little too conservative, but ended up pretty accurate, a lot more than other “seasoned” meteorologists.

Thanks. I also was glad to see the synoptic and situational intuition of strong warm nose + isentropic upglide + orographic lift was correct in leading to the overperformer in VA and more mixed/liquid precip overall east of the mtns.

Not too many reports from there, could imagine that someone picked up an inch there but honestly have no way of knowing it. Roxboro and Yanceyville got smacked yesterday too and I think yanceyville was close to 1”
