soonercane Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Seems like it's staying a bit warmer just miles to the east, but in Cary the heavier bands are definitely all heavy snow. Just looking out the window at the deck looks like a couple of inches already and the roads are mostly covered now. I'm surprised it seems to cut off so quickly for the Raleigh people.

SEwakenosnowforu Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 At least north raleigh does not have a temp issue. Stuck at 35 here for over hour. If snow lightens up...it will melt.

Expand it's possible. hard to predict exactly where it'll set up though. all indications point to the system's energy creating alot of lift up and down central NC so pockets of heavier rates could develop anywhere at the height of the storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 A solid 4.5" currently with a steady moderate snow. Temp is 29º. Based on everyone saying it would be a dry fluffy snow I am a bit surprised to see it stuck to every branch on every tree. Power outages could become a concern.
