Moderate to heavy. Half dollar flakes, no wind.

2+ inches coming up on 3.

You look to be in a great little band that has set up.

Still light snow here in Kernersville. Sticking on the ground but not the roads yet. Wishing we could get some heavier returns, but I do believe that's for those of you to the south and east.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 830 PM WEDNESDAY... ...HEAVY SNOW DEVELOPING INTO THE TRIAD AND TRIANGLE AREAS... ...CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE RAPIDLY IN THE NEXT TWO HOURS... PRECIPITATION WAS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING NORTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA NEAR MID EVENING. THE 00Z/GSO SOUNDING STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE CURRENT ONGOING FORECAST OF A MAJOR IF NOT CRIPPLING SNOW STORM OVER MUCH OF THE PIEDMONT INTO THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. RAIN AND SNOW WERE MIXED AT THE ONSET OF THE PRECIPITATION ALONG THE NC/SC BORDER COUNTIES WHERE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE MID 30S. THE PRECIPITATION WAS BEGINNING AS SNOW ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE EXTENDING FROM KANNAPOLIS AND BADIN TO SILER CITY TO RALEIGH IN THE COLDER AIR. UPSTREAM SNOW WAS FALLING AT KGSP WITH THE RAIN/SNOW TRANSITION SOUTH OF KGSP. THE GSO SOUNDING DEPICTED PLENTY OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR THAT WILL MOISTEN AND COOL SHORTLY SUPPORTING THE RAPID TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE REGION ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A FAY TO GSB LINE. BASED ON THE OBSERVATIONS IN NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI... NORTHERN ALABAMA INTO SOUTHWESTERN NC... AND THE CURRENT MODEL PROJECTIONS... SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR APPEAR LIKELY IN THE PIEDMONT SHORTLY. WE WILL TRY TO PIN DOWN THE MAIN TRANSITION ZONE (LIKELY TO BE IN THE VICINITY OF NEAR FAYETTEVILLE TO GOLDSBORO OR POSSIBLY SOUTHEAST OF THAT REGION AT LEAST EARLY ON). CURRENT FORECAST APPEARS TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION WELL AND UNLESS ADDITIONAL DATA SUPPORTS SOMETHING DIFFERENT... WE WILL MAINTAIN THE LOWER SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE SE. THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO COOL RAPIDLY WITH THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION... WITH MUCH OF THE PIEDMONT EXPECTED TO BE 28-31 DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE EVENT OVER THE PIEDMONT... AND NEAR 32 IN THE SE.

Never thought I'd say this, but thank you Brick for adding this to the discussion. It has eased my worries some.
