Wintry January 8-9 Wintery Weather Potential!

My dad sent me this from his house in Cherokee County SC. It was still putting it down about 30 minutes ago. Easily 3”. He lives on Highway 11 about 4-5 miles north of 85. Just that little bit of difference is all it takes

Nice to see someone in South Carolina did well

Stayed sleet in my neighborhood for a long time. Drove 1.5 miles up the road and was pouring And accumulating. Perks of living in southern Mooresville but flakes were huge!
 
May be getting the first signs on CC that the mixing/sleet line is making some eastward movement over the last few frames
Certainly looks like it, I just hate the precip shield is going to be drying up north to south as it translates east. Gonna be a race here just to see a few flakes. I think you get .5-1

I hope we can both get in on it. At this point I'm just hoping to catch an actual snowflake instead of the dried up quaker oats I saw on Christmas morning
 
I'd say southern Mooresville got 0.1 today. Stayed sleet for a while. So awesome to see everyone's pictures and videos! Looks like some spots on sc got hammered!
 
This screams changeover once rates pick up IMO, with marginally above freezing temps only evident near the surface. That pocket of cold air at 925 may actually be enough for some sandhills areas. Can anyone confirm this?

To be clear, this seems sort of hybrid changeover imo of both cold air advection plus rate driven turnover. Looking closer at the maps SD posted, wind barbs are NErly not westerly at 925 (not good for advection). There’s also a clear frontal feature, or at least a sharp wind shift, at 850 that seems pretty well aligned with the changeover location.

It would not surprise me if the changeover here in Raleigh happens either a) very rapidly and/or b) encroaches from the SW.

Confirmation from mping that sleet is mixing in that band in NE Columbia. Just a few more miles south to MBY!
