50/50 split just made its way to southern Pitt County, that's a win.

Yeah, bro, I’m pretty bummed. Yeah, people are going to say we weren’t supposed to get much and all that, but we were under a Winter Weather Advisory and as late as last night the NWS map had Durham in the 1-2” range. I at least expected the ground to be white; instead, all I got was some depressing, mangled flakes mixed with rain, and wet ground.

We were under a WSW and at my house we had the ground covered, and my deck, but nothing on the road. Let's see if we can squeeze out a legit snow before Feb and March turn ugly

Storm total of 4 inches here in the NRV. Sounds like I was one of the few that actually overperformed. Absolutely beautiful snow covered morning here with bright sunshine.

Maggie valley is a thing Of beauty in the snow. We saw snow flurries through the night. It’s still flurrying now that wasn’t forecasted. Covered up the cars and the trees giving a beautiful view this morning. Joey’s pancakes was delicious like always. Our room on the river with snow is like heaven can sit here for hours taking this in. I love snow unfortunately it’s back home but I love these little over night snow trips. May not snow much in liberty sc. but Maggie valley only 1hr 49 minutes up the rd. Never have to go to far to find it! Time to hope the next storm brings snow area wide outside the mountains to.

Ground was more white this morning than at any point yesterday. Mega Frost.

We had a very slight dusting last evening during the biggest burst, but it melted in minutes due to warm ground temps. If all the snow would have stuck, we would have had 1” at most. Totaled 0.20” total precip. I think maybe half fell as rain/sleet and half as snow. Not too surprised.

Congrats to everybody who saw some flakes. It finally turned over to a sleet/rain mix before ending. Eventually, there were a few random dive-bombing weighty wet flakes that mixed in. It would probably have hurt to have been hit on the head with one of them, but at least they were present for a few minutes.
Dusting here, mulch beds were white as were roofs. Despite a very wet ground, there are still patches of ice left in the yard as of now. 0.87” event total liquid equivalent, est. is ~0.2 of that was frozen.
Glad this one is over
And there was a Winter Storm Warning in Guilford County for this. Ugh.

NWS Blacksburg & GSP snow maps for this event. Working on mine atm
This went down as a trace for RDU. Not surprised. RDU has still not seen measurable snow in January since 2018, after RDU reported measurable snow every January from 2013 to 2018. This is not unprecedented, however, as January 1991-1994 all had no measurable snow here!
