I can't for the life of me figure out how to use "Post-Image" to post pics. I even signed up for it. Oh well.

Summary of storm at my location: I had freezing rain for like 4 hours (that started 6:15 AM) and then hour+ of sleet. Then went back and forth between sleet and snow. Then finally all snow about 12:30. Total accumulation about 1.5" of sleet and snow plus close to 0.25" ZR. This was easily the biggest winter storm here since 12/1989. After it was finished, I took a very enjoyable walk and really soaked this in.

Click the "Upload Image" button. On the site, you should see a button that says " Choose Images". Do that, and then you will be brought to a page that has a list of links. Copy the one that says "Direct Link:" and insert it using the image button on post editor toolbar.

Side reminder, we are working on allowing user uploads, directly to the forum, in the very near future.
 
4 inches west of Sanford is a win. Must have been some training over that particular area for a while.
 
Yeah, seeing that narrow, but persistent banding led me to believe there would be some localized totals.
 
Randolph County 1/4 inch here and 1/2 to 1 inch in Randleman. Nada in Archdale which is NW tip of Randolph County line. Seagrove and over to SE side of County saw 2+. Good Luck Webber
 
Here's some of the totals I've been able to find thus far across central NC and SC border counties in areas where it has stopped snowing: As mentioned earlier please feel free to add what you saw in your location if you don't see it on here so I can make sure the reanalyzed & archived map of this event is more accurate!

Dang, Larry, that's just perfect for my needs! Freeze that down and it's sledding every night after midnight, lol. Ya'll need a big hill over there :) Happy for you, man! I got dibs on the next sleet storm though. I'm working on coaxing this next low into the gulf so I can get it Sun/Mon. :) T
