Yep, looks cold and dry for sure. Maybe ice after that.

DT is on the case apparently

We'll post pictures!

More like gluttons for punishment.

Oh yeah this will wake up the board

Only ray of hope I can offer is usually with these super Arctic outbreaks, they usually leave for good with a grand finale. Like PD1 in 1979. Winter came to an abrupt halt after that storm (which was super cold).

Remember it well. Throw in Jan 1996 and Jan 1987 and you have my favorites.

Managed to make it to 20 this morning

Final tally in Lewisville was 2 inches. 25 degrees and starry skies.

Very intrigued by that final band back in the foothills racing NE...

Moderate snow in Lewisville - even though radar looks like trash.

Moderate snow in Lewisville now after an hour of sleet.

Somebody mentioned "gold dust" earlier? We've got it now! Sleet seems to be over

Sleet in Lewisville. Impossible to have big snowstorms in the Piedmont with S or SW surface winds

Snow picking up in Lewisville. 28 degrees and we have about an inch

We used to have a lot of Hickory posters. Anyone know the ground truth there?

It's just kind of a weak one and going pretty much straight out into the Atlantic, so no big deepener that climbs the coast.

Mesoscale Discussion 0032 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0330 PM CST Fri Jan 10 2025 Areas affected...northern Georgia...eastern Tennessee...far western South Carolina...western North Carolina Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 102130Z - 110030Z SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy snowfall along the high terrain and mixed precipitation likely in the afternoon/evening across portions of east TN/north GA and western SC/NC. DISCUSSION...A broad region of heavy precipitation continues to shift northward across northern Alabama into eastern Tennessee/northern Georgia beneath enhanced mid-level flow and forcing from an upper-level trough. This precipitation shield will continue to lift north and eastward this evening, bringing an increase in the precipitation rates across the region, extending into western North Carolina through time. Moderate to heavy snowfall will be possible (with occasional 1" hr rates) across the southern Appalachian Mountains in eastern Tennessee. Further south across northern Georgia into the western Carolinas, profiles will continue to support additional accumulations of freezing rain. NAM/RAP sounding analysis across northern Georgia into South Carolina show a warm nose at 850 mb with surface observations indicating temperatures remain in the upper 20s to 30s. Occasionally, mixed precipitation/sleet will be possible.

The Calvary hits Hickory and dies...

We had a great first burst, but now in the same hole as Hickory. Sometimes the calvary never arrives.

Same here

Noticed the same thing. I don't think the lull will last to long.

Moderate snow and 28 degrees. Dropped 3 degrees in 45 minutes once it started.

Light snow in Lewisville. 31 degrees

One look at this makes us understand while Raleigh folks are always nervous.
