Seems probable. I've heard plows up and down SC9 tonight at times but no chance they get to the side roads. We should get pretty good evaporation tomorrow but those shaded areas are going to be a brick of ice Tuesday morning. That's if we even warm up enough to get real melting on Monday.

We've been dealing with 2/3+ of the roads in the county remaining very icy from last weekend's event. Now with 6"+ everywhere, you can't see the ice patches anymore underneath the snow. It's going to be ugly here going into next week. I don't see much relief from the temperatures in the coming days. The sun will do its magic where it shines; but the shaded sections of roads will remain covered for a week plus.

What I really want to see is how cold we get tomorrow night. IMO somebody in eastern NC is making a run at zero. The pocosins especially with over a foot of snow on the ground.

There's no way areas around New Bern and down towards Beaufort didn't get into blizzard criteria today. That entire area is over a foot with another 2-4 coming tonight. With winds increasing it's probably still possible.

I wonder if we will ever know why there was no blizzard warning issued, especially at the outer banks. It seems bizarre.

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Banding along coastal southeast NC and extreme northeastern SC
will result in additional snow accumulations up to 6 inches.
Lighter accumulations are possible elsewhere. Dangerously cold
temperatures will continue through Monday morning. Another cold
weather advisory may be needed Monday night into Tuesday
morning.
....
Latest radar trends indicate that heavy snowfall is occurring
for most of southeastern NC and extreme northeastern SC. HREF
and deterministic hi-res guidance suggests that additional
snowfall could accumulate up to 6 additional inches. Satellite
corroborates these incredible snowfall rates with cloud tops
similar to a mini convective pulse. Locally higher amounts are
certainly possible where some of these intense bands reside.
 
We are under that Deform band ATM, Coming off the Coast,, here in Pender/Hanover/Brunswick counties.. BLIZZARD conditions?
 
Man it’s still rocking down in Onslow, Jones, Craven and Carteret, wouldn’t be surprised to see a few places make a run at 20” somewhere down there. Calling it for the night, we are loosing saturation, flake size decreasing, final measurement will have to wait till first light. One for the books here, it’s the kind we always talk about and know can happen, the return interval is just not as often as many of us would like.IMG_7168.jpeg
 
Radar returns are finally backing off here on my side of the border. Still going gangbusters on the NC side. Best measurement I can get on the krispy kreme box is 7". May add another inch or so.

Deformation band setting up? It's almost White-out conditions here on the Beach..

It's been there since midnight or so just not as well defined. It's starting to sag south following the meso low so I'm probably not done yet.

Bet Bald Head is a wild ride tonight.

Took a Jeb….errr….drive just now (family fast asleep). Plows out doing work but that’s the worst I’ve ever seen 85/40 in NC due to the temps. Absolutely covered and several
Inches deep. Did 5 miles between Elon and Graham and saw 1 other vehicle in either direction. No one out anywhere. Peaceful to the point of eerie.

It's finally over here. 1 mile southeast of SouthPark Mall in CLT. 9 accumulated inches of snow measured on 3 tables in my yard. The hours of flurries and small flakes at the end bumped me up from 8 inches to 9 inches.
 
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1) Heavy snow will continue for part of the area
overnight. Hazardous travel and impacts to infrastructure will
continue for several days to come.

Latest radar trends indicate that heavy snowfall is occurring
for most of southeastern NC and extreme northeastern SC. HREF
and deterministic hi-res guidance suggests that additional
snowfall could accumulate up to 6 additional inches. Satellite
corroborates these incredible snowfall rates with cloud tops
similar to a mini convective pulse. Locally higher amounts are
certainly possible where some of these intense bands reside.

For the remainder of northeastern SC, the mesolow and upper very
max is gradually pushing offshore, just south of the Myrtle
Beach area. Places around Georgetown are finally starting to see
some flakes after being plagued by a dry slot for much of the
day. Accumulations will be lighter as precip rates remain light
in this region. Additional accumulations up to 3 inches will be
possible, primarily due to the atypical snow ratios. Some
locally higher amounts will be possible.
 
A little after 4 am 1mi W of Lucama NC in Wilson county, just have a few flurries falling but the accumulating snow has ended. Final total snow accumulation of 7 inches with 1 foot or so drifts noted around the periphery of houses and cars. Incredible storm for parts of the Carolinas to say the least. Glad to see that a lot of folks were able to see snow with this system whether it was a lot or a little. Near blizzard conditions still ongoing on the NC coast, incredible!

Good morning! Looks like it snowed here for 22-23 hours straight. I can’t accurately measure, but I’d estimate 13” or so. If you would have told me prior to this storm the it would end up being the biggest storm I’d ever had in my backyard, I wouldn’t have believed it.
 
The powdery snow saved a lot of people from power outages. I noticed it was so dry it was having a difficult time sticking to trees and power lines. If this was heavy wet snow with that wind could have been major problems
