I think NWS agreed
Winds out of the NW trying to peel the siding off my house. Bitter cold. Moon glowing off the snow. This is not my climate.

This is the band of heavier snow we have been waiting for in Wake County. This will quickly lay down a few inches of snow. Hang in there!

Last of the snow shower activity passed me by by about 10 PM. I didn't go outside to check it out, but I know based on streetlights/using the house light that the road out front finally quit and at least had a light dusting.
Several local reports of heavier snow to my west and I believe southwest.

3+!
It's coming down much harder than returns would indicate here in northwestern Horry county. I shoveled right at an hour ago and that was easily another inch. I'll get another tape measure check at 1130 or midnight.

Winds still ripping out there. Just had a gust to 51 mph. Sustained 30 mph.

Really coming down here, near the heaviest yet! Down to 26. Now sticking on some of the sidewalk. Probably now dangerous to drive. I’ve been home and am not going anywhere at least til tomorrow afternoon.

The current nighttime snowfall reminds me of the 2000 storm. That was the Raleigh Carolina Crusher. CLT Airport recorded only 4-5 inches however. I lived in extreme East Mecklenburg County and a finger of the snow parked over us in Matthews. That night the snow just refused to wrap up. It just kept flurrying and moderately snowing. Eventually measured 17 inches, the only time I have ever felt I was in the perfect location. Banter, sorry.
You know as much as I love seeing a good daytime snowfall pile up like we did today, there is nothing quite pristine and peaceful as watching it snow at night.
Yeah it’s really covered my street in the last 30-1hr. Really nice we’re getting this last band, think we will end up with about the same as last year.
This is an incredible radar image. Look at the convective snow and then supercellular thunderstorms on the warm side of the low. Just unreal. Looks like that’s 2-3” am hour for a lot of eastern NC and down the coast to SC

Yep I remember. Was living in NoDa then and had 9” there. The amounts increased quickly S of me. Think Rock Hill had 20” during that storm.?

Dude, you’re a magnet. Have been since I first started in the forums 15 years ago. It’s uncanny!

Still snowing at a good clip in between Clayton and Wilson’s Mills. Measured the depth on the hood of my truck again and just crossed 7 inches… I thought after being dry slotted most of the day we’d have a hard time hitting 3-4, but this has just been incredible.
Y'all might get the band rotating SE now in the Charleston area.
If bands like this keep pushing their way to us in Durham Co, 6-7 is absolutely in the cards
Epic right now

It's one of the most peaceful quiets. It's what I love about a snowfall.
The band is basically stationary NW to SE so I'm starting to wonder if the HRRR is going to turn out to be right. We still have a high end chance from the NWS of 10+.

That patch in Goose Creek is indeed light snowing. Just flapping in the wind but better than pixie dust.
Edit, Charleston WFO states we still sit within an area that deformation bands could pop for a bit so if something can get going, maybe just maybe, we can score a little bit more.

I just got back from winter photography around my town. My hands frozed in sub-zero wind chills and roads were not plowed at all. But my god, I got beautiful pictures of my town!

@Avalanche @SENC @Disco_Lemonade. Things really ramping up last 30 minutes. We snow like.this for a few hours we will get to 5 inches I believe
Snow seems to be picking up here big time in the last few minutes.

pushing 3.5" seems to be not as heavy as radar would suggest over my locale in chatham. been snowing since around 1 pm. thanks for the great tracking thread everyone! will update is the a.m. and see what we get overnight.

Lot of stuff currently not being picked up on radar well due to the low dendritic growth zone above the deck.
Absolutely beautiful outside. Looking at radar, and maybe more than 6" on the table. Big big win for what we went through earlier today.

Yep. The counties either side of the state line (Dillon, Horry, Robeson, Columbus, and Brunswick) are sitting on the jackpot right now.

Looking at the big picture radar, it now appears the coastal low is pushing and rotating moisture almost all the way back to the CLT area. I hadn't even bothered to look at that.

Rates are slower, but we just passed 4" and continuing to climb. Remarkable.
