Just over 2 inches in my front yard in Hillsborough.. light to moderate snow coming down.

If I could get any flakes larger than a grain of sand, I might get a dusting.

Got me salivating in Hillsborough a few miles south, but can’t taste it.

Was just about to say, radar showing a snow shower just to my north in Roxboro (aka NC snow capital)

It gets so confusing for amateurs like me..I don't doubt what you're saying at all about the HRRR...but I swear someone earlier today said the HRRR was by far the most accurate for this last storm.

I'm thinking of driving to the coast instead of jumping... but when i get halfway there, the models will change!

I think we were all thinking a dry slot or dry slots somewhere, but then the HRRR came with a HUGE DRY slot covering numerous counties in central NC. I don't think anyone expected that.

Wow. That would be devastating at this point.

Okay help me decide the debate between staying in Hillsborough or heading to the coast for this weekend...who has the better shot? And "the coast" for me would likely be Carteret County.

What's going on? Dry slotting Raleigh?

We'll see what the Euro says, but as of this morning my NWS station's discussion called for 2-4 inches in my neck of the woods, and that seems about right. I don't think much has changed. So under 2 i'll be a bit disappointed.. over 4 and I'll be thrilled!

Weenie question but i think relevant: when is this coastal low supposed to start forming? I hear the experts saying we'll have more reliable data once it starts forming.

My “zone area forecast” for Orange County from NWS has potential snow chances starting at 1p Friday afternoon, then 50% chance Friday night. Seems they might be thinking an earlier start.

Might be headed to Duck, NC to chase some snow for this one.

Seems like this forecast is all about how close the L tracks west vs out over the ocean. We’ll know in a couple of days.
