    Where’s Brick?? North Raleigh looking pretty good right about now. Just texted my parents to see what’s up around North Ridge. Boring white rain in Charlotte.

    Mud?!? Don't you still have a foot or so on the ground?

    Radar really blossoming all of a sudden west of Charlotte. Too bad it's still way too warm. Could mean good things for points east later tonight, and maybe even for us if that trend continues tomorrow.

    I was born and raised in Raleigh, still root for snow in the Triangle too, but I cannot imagine the level of whining if the Triangle folks here had to put up with what we do in Charlotte proper. We've basically had one good storm (that still had mixing issues) in the 11 years I've lived here.
  5. SnowDeac
    For all the complaining from Triangle folks (where I was born and raised), it is increasingly impossible to get a decent snowstorm in CLT proper. Of course on the rare occasion the NW trend is our friend, it teases us with almost a foot of snow one model run, only to completely reverse course and virtually go to zero. It is enraging how in 2022 we don't have better/more consistent model technology.

    I haven't looked too deep into the analogs, but this storm is giving me strong Feb 2014 vibes. Multi day event, cold air entrenched, etc.

    Last little burst of the evening for CLT it looks like. What a fun band this was.
  8. SnowDeac
    Still ripping fatties near South Park. Have a solid half inch from this backside band. Radar looks to be breaking up some unfortunately, but this might be my favorite little snow since 2014.
  9. SnowDeac
    This is a legit moderate snow now. Chicken feathers. And radar looks pretty good SW… check in other CLT folks!!!

    An incredibly peaceful light snow. Made a fire pit back. Getting heavier now in CLT. Enjoying a Yellowstone bourbon.
  11. SnowDeac
    And just like that it’s snowing lightly again near South Park.
  12. SnowDeac
    Looks like they should, though the northern part of the metro should do better (as always).
  13. SnowDeac
    Snowing in Rock Hill and Chester again. Hope it gets to CLT proper.
  14. SnowDeac
    All freezing rain/rain now near South Park. Good amount of run off so we’re very close to 32 if not above it. Point/click says 1-2 inches more of snow before the storm is done, but I’m not seeing it.
  15. SnowDeac
    Just checked the rain gauge. 2.25 of mostly compacted sleet just south of South Park. Mostly ZR now with some icing occurring. A few limbs creaking with the wind. Do we think a deform band will form and swing through? Or will dry air take over soon?
  16. SnowDeac
    Brad P honking about a switchover to snow this afternoon/evening as well despite models not showing much in the way of organized precip or deform bands. Good to hear.
  17. SnowDeac
    Congrats to those getting the goods. Mostly all sleet here just south of South Park in Charlotte. Decent covering and windy but disappointing as usual to be so close to a better storm. Back to bed.
  18. SnowDeac
    Very light snow, but all snow just started in South Park, CLT. Good to see some flakes. Not sure I'll be able to sleep now though!
  19. SnowDeac
    Solid looking returns coming through both Greenville and Spartanburg at the moment. Ground truth?
  20. SnowDeac
    Low deepening and starting a much more northerly jog, as expected. The mountains are just going to get hammered with this amount of moisture. Wouldn't be surprised if someone ended up with 20 inches. Really wish we headed up to Beech, as we considered.
  21. SnowDeac
    Couple things to note on the short range models for CLT proper. 1) The HRRR shows a solid 2-3 hour initial burst of snow. I’m guessing that’s overdone and much will fall as sleet, but something to note. 2) Pretty much all the meso models show an eventual changeover to plain rain. Better than freezing rain. 3) The 3K Nam shows a fun little burst of snow (possibly a deform band?) rolling through fairly late tomorrow evening for an hour or two. Also continues through the state and affects the triangle.
  22. SnowDeac
    Based on recent trends (and the GSP forecast), I'm thinking CLT flips to plain rain well before the precip ends. Will help significantly with ice issues, though a lot may have already fallen. The WAA almost always scours out the cold air quicker than progged around the metro, even at the surface.
  23. SnowDeac
    Trending towards almost all ZR. I'm guessing about a half inch, which will be pretty devastating. Though, honestly, I also won't be surprised to turn over to plain rain eventually which will limit our issues big time. Might get a quick inch or two of snow/sleet before the changeover. Going to be depressing as always watching the correlation coefficient radar FLY up from SC through NC.
  24. SnowDeac
    Yep, I was in the same boat. GSP had Charlotte proper getting 9-11 inches. We got like 2.1 inches of pure slop. There was a similar mid-December bust with almost the exact same setup/output around that time as well.
  25. SnowDeac
    Surprising. Feel like we got a ton of sleet storms in Raleigh growing up. I remember one in particular in February of 2006, I believe, that was 2.5-3 inches of solid concrete in N. Raleigh.
