Wintry January 3rd-6th, 2018 Winter Storm The ARCC/Xtreme Weather Special

This is ridiculous. Wake County is a true snow hole. All day we were were worried about it being too far east and it's snowing more to the west of here.
 
I was hoping this storm would start cranking just in time for the back band to sit over us and intensify, we might just make it!
 
I'm just not understanding the dynamics of why a dry pocket of air would be right there when you have moisture in all directions around it. It's baffles me. I really feel for the RDU folks. I would be pissed...worse than getting sleet all day instead of snow.

Rah upped amounts here to 3-6, seems plausible I've got a nice band just sitting over me. Also DP jumped from 10 to 27, seems quick maybe really tapping that Atlantic moisture or wishcasting lol

So Glad SD,Cold Rain and our man Brick along with rest of Wake county guys finally getting in on action. Fingers crossed yall can keep it up atleast for a few hours and get on plus side of 4. Already know the coastal Plain guys will do well so haven't been stressed for them.

Hopefully Weather NC in G Vegas got switched over to all snow. If so he'll rack up very fast

Thanks man. Don’t see any scenario where we get close to four inches on the eastern side. Fortunately, we have about 1/4” on the ground now...just enough to make that distinct crunch sound when you step. I’m just hoping beyond hope for an inch or two. I really want to see it under a nearly full moon. I wonder if there is anything that could make that back edge could slow at all?

Somethings gotta give, the main precip shield from the coastal low continues to push inland, which is the snow I'm getting and that hasn't budged east any but that band coming through Wake associated with the upper dynamics I believe is steadily moving east towards the main precip, not sure if it will slow down, kick it out or converge for some serious rates here (the latter is my hopecasting)

The stuff west of 95 will probably die off while to the east of 95 it'll stay or strengthen


My goodness somewhere between wilson, ahoskie, Roanoke rapids is going to get crushed.

Probably closer to Ahoskie, I swear I bet I'm gonna probably be about 20-30 miles just west of the sweet spot..... I'm not complaining though at all
Those heavier bands still moving west... you can do it

I think you are good for 4-6 Maybe 8 Atlantic moisture really getting involved up there now. Maybe some 2+/hr stuff for the next couple hours. By the way 965 just to your east per the hrrr
