Death band delivers. Absolutely ripping.

HKY’s sleet line is accurate. We’re 75% IP, 25% flakes just SW of downtown Holly Swings.

15 dBZ = fat (nickel to quarter) flakes. No DGZ issues (yet) today!

Returns increasing to the south and southwest of Wake. CC suggests transition zone along a line from Pinehurst to Dunn.

yes, but have you considered WRAL bad?

TOR for Grainger, Hamblen, and Hawkins has the “observed” tag as of 9:33 pm. Looking a few frames back, you can see why. Definitely a touchdown.

CLT was a hundred miles from so much as a stray dandruff flake ~24 hrs out. This was a significant NW shift over a very short window. Carolina Crusher II was never on the table. Even the rosiest model output from drunk uncle 18Z NAM was several standard deviations away.

What the hell is this cringefest distracting me from my TWELVE flurries?

Flurries in Southern Pines, per Chick Jacobs’s feed. Nothing directly overhead on KRAX.

…both? It can be both.

I think WRAL bears the brunt of the memeing because they long had the TV met synonymous with Raleigh (Fishel) and have long been a market leader. The “Mike Maze says bleep your snow” thing is truly a joke. I enjoy Mike and the team at WRAL, and I don’t envy the job of any public facing met. My life also doesn’t hinge on each forecast update, which probably helps.

A tradition like no other. Mike Maze says “**** your snow.”

30 dbz returns rolling in resulting in the fattest and wettest of the night! Rain drops, that is.

50/50 IP/ZR mix now. Elevated surfaces have a nice glaze.
