Raleigh is going to get at least 10". I just wouldn't worry about it at this point. It's going to snow and snow big. Just enjoy it.

Folks always get squirrelly right before the start…
I get it, after the emotional capital committed, late nights model watching, hope waxing and waning with every cycle, and now nothing, waiting.

It's not squirellyness so much in this particular event. These conditions both cold on the front end and afterwards plus a sure fire guarantee of only snow for the duration in the Triangle just don't come along very often. That is the cause of my frustration. We should bank solidly in this set up but looks like we are not right now. Could change but there is little support for it. Not compared to both east and west of our position anyway. The certainty there is far more solid.
Kind of like blowing a 10pt lead in the last minute of a basketball game
Will need to be an overperformer for that to happen. Might...

Flight from Denver to rdu got canceled earlier. Flew to Baltimore and now currently driving to Raleigh. What A Day!
Sadly never came another 8 miles south
alas
This was supposed to be a storm where we would outperform N Durham County, which is such a rarity. Seems it may not happen with this one, either. North is always better, doesn’t matter the setup!!!Sadly never came another 8 miles south
When I saw it was snowing in Roxboro already a few hours ago, I couldn’t help but laugh. Snow capital of NC for real.This was supposed to be a storm where we would outperform N Durham County, which is such a rarity. Seems it may not happen with this one, either. North is always better, doesn’t matter the setup!!!
You and me both…LOL. They can’t lose!

Unfortunately not looking good for the Raleigh area in my opinion. Just think the dry slot will unfortunately probably be there

I haven’t had a great feeling for the Triangle-ish since yesterday but I’m still hopeful. I’m watching that band moving through SENC and you’d think there’s a wall along 13 Fayetteville to Goldsboro blocking it

It's going to be so much fun when people get to laugh at Raleigh folks when they get dry slotted... not. It's already starting in a few of my group chats.

Literally everyone in the Carolinas but the Triangle is getting 6"+. Such a perfect cold environment going to waste for us. How embarrassing.

Latest HRRR still gives us 1-2 at 10:1. I expect we'll get something but quite disappointing considering the potential
Not everyone

I’m just ill now. I don’t even want 1 to 2. Just a nuisance. Is it Monday yet?
What is the Graf smoking 
I need some to get through the day
Whatever it is, I’d like some please.

Seems appropriate for some of the folks in NC.
Radar looks great but still have to squint to see a flake or two. Dry air eating it alive, 19/5

I’ve got some flurries
When darker green radar returns only yield a flake here and there, you know you're screwed

Up to 4” in Lattimore, NC!
Yeah, in all seriousness I bet we’ll end up with 2-4” or something, which in isolation is fine, but with all the potential with this one, it hurts.
Light snow under this band

Sorry for the banter. Getting blanked on the snow and the State and Wake game isn’t on tv. I just need someone to come kick my dog to finish the trifecta.
In all seriousness, congrats to y’all that are cashing in

Nothing more than some flurry action so far this morning. Very light dusting, 23.0/16.2
@freebird581bd dry air is killing us. Radar returns have looked great and so far light snow at best. We might be just a smidge too far north for this one.
I’m encouraged by the radar right now. I like some of what I’m seeing. Dry slot filling in and good flow of moisture off the Atlantic. My interest is peaked. The HRRR does not have a good hold on the moisture. I don’t think it is handling the drier air in the atmosphere well and cutting moisture. Especially east of Raleigh.
