So as this storm ends for me it is with great joy I get to tell a small story. As a kid growing up in eastern NC lots of times we had overnight snow forecast and woke up to nothing but rain. It happened a lot and I was always disappointed. This morning my 2 yr old woke up and found himself surrounded by 3 inches of fresh snow........that makes this a great little storm for us folks east of 95 who weren't expecting much.

We had a foot plus storm last year. At my location I got 8" which I'm closing in on now with this event.

It must have came down hard. And it is really fluffy. Looks like the Christmas 2010 snow.

It's now a race between the next heavy band and the snow/sleet line. I think we'll be able to stay snow for this band which could give us an additional 2" or so. Later we're going to have to deal with an ice storm. NWS now calling for >.25" of freezing rain.

5-6” or so, snow is no longer wet fluffy dimes but heavy dandruff. Power has dimmed and flashed a few times.
