And then you have Raleigh which never has a 10 inch winter in 20+ years, just like NC State hasn't had a 10 win season in 20+ years. Just like under Dave Doeren, they never win anything big.

I mean you’re not wrong, my father used to say…”Son eventually the sun shines on every dogs ass at some point” maybe it was just our day

I wish I could describe to you guys what that snow squall was like yesterday. I’ve got some theories on why it was so instense at my location. But I think these pictures do it justice.
In picture 1: you are looking at the end of my driveway/treeline which is 120 yards away during the most intense snowfall from the main band, the meat of of the storm, I would have described this as heavy snow.. it produced more than one inch in an hour and this was the heaviest part of it. Video taken at 10:35am, notice how bright it is.

In picture 2 and 3: you’re looking at the same exact location at the end of my driveway, 120 yards away. This was during the squall… it was insane! Also had 40mph gusts, and almost black out dark conditions at 12:05pm. It was complete weenie euphoria for me.

Those are impressive images burrell. What did you see on radar? Guess it was just a heavy band? Did it kind of form right on top of you?

I'd say we've got about 95% snow coverage still on non-paved surfaces. The exceptions are south facing hills that are under trees...I guess a lot of snow got caught up in the trees above and so the areas underneath the trees had less snow. Pretty interesting even though it was a dry snow. Roadways are hit-and-miss. Treated roads tend to be okay, but the untreated roads are snowy/icy in shaded areas. It will certainly be icy in the morning.

Pretty sure we are going to lose a lot of sunny spots tomorrow.

It was a very thin band on radar, but it was racing really quickly from northeast to south west. I think it had something to do with the just above the surface convergence zone that manifested as a result of the meso low stuff that cranked around the mountain chain.

Those streamers that developed over the upstate later on were sorta mini-low level convergence zones/bands… but I was in-between the development of those two bands and basically it was sorta like an exploding “bow echo” that pushed out before forming the bands on either side. So it lasted only a couple minutes for me but it was extremely intense, specifically at the surface/low levels. To where the more stationary bands formed on each side of it lasted hours, but weren’t as intense.

That’s my theory anyways.
