We switched to snow 30 minutes ago and it's a grass topper already. Piling up fast even with mid sized flakes. If we start getting quarters or bigger it's gonna be a storm!!
We are back in CAE! Dumping!

I think we're going to make it to our 1-2" range easily. It's looking REALLY good out here in Wendell.

Cutoff is extremely sharp. Basically anywhere N of Ashley Phosphate on I-26 is completely snowcovered. And 95 is a mess through Walterboro and St. George
It's pouring he snow. 19 degrees and I'm sure the rates are at least 15:1 if not higher.

The increasingly close juxtaposition of the 2 aforementioned primary mid-level forcing/temperature advection regimes (the mid level cold front to the west & the warm front to the south) is tightening up the mid-level temperature gradient across east-central NC. This is why radar is suddenly going bananas.

They already closed Greenville county Schools for the 1/2 inch they got today! Roads are shite, per several people there, a few got stranded!

I live in Greenville and we have great rates but flake size is smallish right now waiting for these two bands to merge overhead hopefully....
Pensacola might end up with over 12”

We close to done out here in Union County?

It should soon. Snow is definitely much lighter on 264 compared to I-87. It was pretty heavy there but those bands should hit Greenville / ENC soon and continue after it has ended on the west side

It’s a disaster zone Mack. Southern half of Greenville county is impassable
I think we’ll be done sooner than I’d like to admit. Go enjoy it now triangle

You know you're approaching some legit snowfall rates when you're getting near 30 dBz on the radar. Not too bad!

Very Likely it will

A shame, but it's a good show.

I measured 5.75" at 9pm so that's 0.75" in the last 30 minutes.

I feel like the radar keeps filling in a bit out west. Am I seeing things? WRAL apparently said this was a 7pm-9pm event here. We started closer to 6 and appear to have at least 90 min left.

Rates should be picking back up shortly, you can see another band beginning to setup through Martin/Pitt/Greene/Wayne on the higher scans.
Official total at the house 0.1

Can confirm. Heavy snow in Westcot off Patriot Blvd

Pretty solid.
Not sure how much longer we'll hold on though. May end at 11.
I love these kinds of pictures! It just started about an hour ago.

Measured 0.8 inches of snow at the house in North Durham. So close to the inch mark, but the back edge is coming. Still moderate snow though.
I say we got 90-120mim left
| Mesoscale Discussion 0053 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0801 PM CST Tue Jan 21 2025 Areas affected...central and eastern portions of the Carolinas Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 220201Z - 220700Z SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow should gradually become widespread through early tonight across portions of the central and eastern Carolinas. DISCUSSION...700 mb warm-air and moisture advection are increasing over central and eastern parts of the Carolinas with the approach of a pronounced 500 mb trough that is traversing the central Appalachians. Beneath the 700 mb moistening, strong surface-850 mb cold-air advection is contributing to further saturation and sensible cooling of the column to support a predominance of snow, which is currently being indicated by surface observations on a widespread basis. Ahead of the upper trough, 700 mb frontogenesis is intensifying, which should support increased snowfall rates. As such, in addition to the transition to snow, 0.5-1.0 inch/hour snowfall rates may develop over the next couple of hours, as also suggested by some of the latest high-resolution guidance runs. ..Squitieri.. 01/22/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

100% true. Heavy sleet. Dusting.

Over an inch here now and climbing!

Took a walk and it’s dumping. Measured just shy of 1”
From the RadarScope estimates, the storm is moving at about 23.63 km/hr. Raleigh is about 63.4 miles away from the edge.
So we have about 2 hours and 40 minutes left in Central Wake
It’s been since January 2003 that I could say this. It’s snow heavily with temperatures in the upper teens. 19 degrees now at the casa.
