Had to take my wife to VCU today for her two week checkup after surgery. This was the sight in Short Pump, VA near Richmond.

This was in Williamsburg, VA on the way home. We had snow from noon today until 7pm. The trip from VCU to Williamsburg and back to Elizabeth City. It was a beautiful sight to see and drive in all day. Listened to Christmas music and made it feel so festive.
 
And I'm back with another map created through ArcGIS. I decided to put in the latest snow cover analysis (as of 00z) from NOAA's NOSRHC. Do note that it's a bit exaggerated for northern counties of North Carolina, but the grey is still below an inch of snow.

A weak, but non-negligible lake effect snow band is coming off of Lake Kerr and has produced some light snow across parts of Johnston, Wayne, Wilson, & Nash Counties this evening.

Can confirm it's snowing a bit here in northeastern Johnston County near the 5-county point.
 
I'm legitimately curious just how far south it's snowing underneath that lake effect band, because the lowest tilt shows legitimate returns all the way into southern Sampson County. Of course the lake effect band weakens w/ distance from Kerr Lake, but the radar beam is so high by the time its in Sampson Co, it's likely overshooting the low-topped LES band. Pretty insane to think we're even discussing lake effect snow in central NC lol
 
Nice 1993 Buick Century!
Sooo I said truck in my post, a century is a car..... I tell ya I've read some stuff from you over the years but I've never been so insulted in all my life :D:D;). Actually a 2005 Tacoma, it's my pride and joy!
 
Here's a preliminary snow & sleet accumulation map for yesterday's winter storm in NC:

Looks like @metwannabe hit the "jackpot" east of the mountains, NOHRSC analysis also hinted at a dusting of accumulation around Roanoke Rapids.

IIRC that looks similar to a map of Nov. 12, 1968. That was a few years before me but my grandmother died in an automobile accident that day and my dad tells me there was snow on the ground (also I've looked at your site and sure enough a trace fell on that date). Crazy

lol I don't read posts that have snowy pictures in them when I'm not getting snow!
