Dec 2000 still haunts him to this day.

3" here in NW Cary. Pic below of the heavy band that came through around midnight last night. Also, a snow covered road near Jordan Lake during today's snow drive. While driving near the lake had a Honda CR-V headed in other direction spin out, over correct and end up in a ditch.

Just read his tweets. He has children with him, holed up in Marsh Harbour.

I would tend to agree, but didnt the mid range models do well with the December storm? They held it together for a good week ahead, albeit with bullseye gyrations of a couple hundred miles over the course of the runup.

It was Dec 2000. In an attempt to not miss out on a Carolina crusher redux, he went all in with huge totals all over the triangle (I think there was a 12-18"+ band on his call map). Woke up the next morning to sunny skies and what there was of the storm had skipped over us and was snowing in the coastal plain (and not nearly that much snow). Ever since then he has been conservative with what he shows on air. Here is a write up on the storm: https://projects.ncsu.edu/atmos_collaboration/nwsfo/storage/cases/20001203/

A Leeside minimum on the Chatham/Wake county line?

So to sort out this direction discussion, West is 270 degrees, North is 360 degrees (or 0). NW would be halfway between at 315 degrees. WNW would be halfway between W and NW, so 292.5 degrees. So Florence is considered as moving NW because 305 degrees is closer to 315 (NW) than it is to 292.5 (WNW)?

This was 2nd on my list because I was in Chapel Hill at the time. We were told we might get a couple of inches, started out as rain around 10PM, woke up with 20" on the ground at 10AM. Crazy rates, a shame it didnt happen during the day. The whole area turned into a solid sheet of ice as temps dropped close to zero at night as if North Carolina was Siberia.

2/83 was my vote, first time I ever saw thundersnow. Crazy snow rates. Ended up with 2 ft in Annapolis.
