Normally I’d give a winter like this a B but the dry slot storm was so bad I’ll give winter a D. All 3 storms we got below expected amounts. All 3 I got less then half expected QPF. 0 daylight snow, sleet all fell before daybreak then it was dry rest of day. Neither warning hit warning criteria. 3 advisory level events while the rest of the state got POUNDED. Even the sleet storm, I’d taken 1.5” sleet all day. Wasted pattern. I’m salty. As is my truck. Congrats everyone else.

Think we’re going with banner elk for the town and availability of places to stay. Never been either, looking forward to it.

Yep my farm in Louisburg had nearly 5” on the ground when I got up there on Monday so I am assuming they had 6-7” from the storm which obviously is a big hit around here. Here in the snow hole we had 0.4” in December, 0.7” from the sleet storm and 2.6” from last weekends storm so 3.7” on the year, which has to be the lowest or close to lowest total in the entire state. Even eyewall got warning criteria snow at his location last weekend, and I think most areas in wake had over 1” of sleet from the other storm, so I feel like I live in THE snow hole this year

Actually a dusting on the ground at the office in Garner

Alright mountain folk- think my wife and I are going to come up for a NW flow event snowcation tomorrow. We were thinking banner elk-beech mountain and above 4500 feet. Only concern with beech is it being a zoo on the weekend, though we aren’t skiing. Any additional advice? Found a good number of rentals available want quick access to a town for meals and walking around, don’t need to be peak snowfall but want good chance at a couple inches

Congrats foothills folks. You broke the curse and are having an incredible winter. Y’all deserved it, don’t let the Raleigh crowd bickering over 1 storm take away from the fact that your entire area had been an elite screw zone for years

Looks like most areas from Morganton/hickory to Winston and up into SW Virginia saw 1-3” with a few higher totals in VA. Good stat padder for those areas

I think we (south of 85) are done for the year in terms of a big snowstorm. Might be a CAD or novelty event yet but we (everyone but wake county) had our storm of the decade

Martinsville or maybe NW of there look like they got the jackpot with this system. Looks like 3”+ on traffic cam https://511.vdot.virginia.gov/ Look at cam just NW of the city

Cold isn’t the problem, precip is. Down to 34 here

That’s just mean

Brining roads across Raleigh right now. Gotta think the supply is running low

GFS just went crazy for it

Go home GFS, you’re drunk

I still think there is a decent jackpot somewhere within the banding this evening, likely from the I-40 corridor to SE Virginia. Most hi res modeling shows this to some degree and I think there’s a chance it might be under modeled as it will be localized. Think most areas see flurries but accumulating snow will be limited to wherever the band/bands set up. Would not surprise me at all to see some 3” reports tomorrow morning anywhere in that area

We’ve had 5 snow days and 2 delayed starts already at my kids school. I’m at 3.7” of snow/sleet for the year, so more snow days than inches of snow received. There will be no surprise if they cancel school, again, tomorrow. This is putting a lot of strain on my wife and I’s jobs

36.6 for the low, first non freezing low in forever. No rain here

Yeppers, called it lol

With temps crashing into 20s I have a feeling this gets an advisory for a decent chunk of NC due to travel issues Thursday morning even if accumulations are light

12k NAM big hit triangle NE into SE Virginia

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve been NAM’d

This is accurate lol. This will be one I’d consider a bonus event- if you get snow great, if not oh well. Not gonna make up for the wake county miss even if we got the best band but at same point this could have a few surprises and maybe someone gets a significant localized snowfall

First true “thaw” day in well over a week. 50 degrees, all snow is gone from sun, working on the last of it in shaded areas now. My strategically reinforced and shade placed snow piles have some staying power though

February snow generally sucks unless it’s a coastal with heavy rates or at night. Even last years storm didn’t stick on roads until sunset even though it was in the mid 20s

This should be a fun one to radar watch tomorrow evening. Someone could get a pretty decent band out of this and some decent accumulation, but probably won’t where know until it sets up. Think anyone in northern half of NC has a chance
