Bet we see someone with a foot down that way. I’ve seen some pretty impressive rates with small flakes before. I remember we must’ve been pushing 1-2”/hr for several hours in Greensboro during the January 2010 storm and ended up with 7.5”. It was a dry, higher-ratio snow that didn’t even stick to the trees much since it was so dry and fluffy. Definitely not as picturesque, though.

PortsmouthWeather Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Absolutely pouring down snow now! Up to about 6.5 inch's. Heaviest rates by far of the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortsmouthWeather Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Guess I'm one of the few still up. I'm sitting at over 8 inch's now with a temp down to 30 degrees and still coming down hard! I got about 2 inch's in the last hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Around 1.25” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I only got about a 1/2" at my location. That band coming out of Durham last night started dying right over this area. Still it's pretty outside. everything is covered including the roads. This storm kind of acted like a band of thunderstorms; whereas there where "have and have nots" between short distances.

FallsLake Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nothing like other received (even to others in the Triangle), but it definitely gives me a winter look. My house at about 7:30 this morning: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avid6eek Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Snow depths around the yard average out to about 12" here in Chesapeake. Winds easily gusting to 50mph all night, and maybe 35-40mph this morning. 40" drift down the length of the sidewalk on the side of my house.

Last night when you were under the maritime influence and 36 with rain, I almost posted to try and reassure you but figured you would see for yourself soon enough. Elizabeth City is so close to the coast you really could not avoid what slight warm nose there was while the storm was south west of you. In the end it didn't matter because the rates when the cyclone went to your east were tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flakes were tiny but there were millions of them.....a flizzard on steroids is what I was thinking all night but as it went on I noticed it getting deeper and deeper. Just did a check around the yard and averaged 4 inches in most places but was surprised to see 5 inches around the house where it was more protected from the wind. My son turns 2 tomorrow and he has had snow a couple days either side of his birthdays both years. hope we make this a tradition for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Measured 2.5" here. Waiting on the core to melt to get a ratio. Lots of snow devils dancing in the street this morning when the gusts pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precip was late to arrive -- by "arrive" I mean break through the single digit DPs that it encountered around midnight. Models showed first precip at 2-3 a.m. but it wasn't until 6 a.m. that anything made it through. We had a couple hours of light ZR and drizzle and sleet, then a magnificent 30-45 minutes of moderate snow -- big heavy flakes. I swear I think everybody in Tallahassee was out on their porch just marveling, knowing it's a sight that may not been seen again in Tallahassee in their lifetimes. It almost covered the ground before changing to sleet and ending. Total measured precip at TLH was .03 -- just a fraction of what the NAM showed. GFS/HRRR were more in line on precip. Totals were higher to the east. Still, it was magnificent and now it's all gone and I'm back at work! THANK YOU @beanskip!! That is STILL pretty amazing in its own right. See...the @burgertime Show Shield Triangle held up and we did not get SHIZ man. It is all good though. This is exactly what was called for us to begin with. We had some decent returns over us on the radar, but it was just WAY TOO DRY to overcome. I guess i need to move out of this Triangle of Snow Death. HAHAHA. Have a good one and it is great to see you still posting. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Congrats to those who got the goods and didn't get any damage along with it. hearing lots of reports of downed trees, no power, etc from eastern NC and SE VA. As windy and cold as it is today I would almost prefer to not be dealing with snow that will stick around for 4-5 more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This snow is something we haven’t seen since 1989. Charleston is basically closed again today. Almost all roads are icy and snowy skating rinks. Most businesses are still closed, along with most other places of interest. The ice and sleet and freezing rain under the snow is what is making it hard for any of it to go. Gonna take some pictures today around the island and share them with you guys.

yotaman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well it could have been an epic storm for us but our numbers were: .49" of rain, .25" of ice, some sleet, and about 4" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
