Stays below freezing for duration Has there ever not been such a huge gradient in RDU? We moved to North Raleigh very close to the Durham County line about 19 years ago and I have always been amazed at the difference in show totals in my backyard vs. friends who live in Knightdale/Fuquay. It’s insane how sharp and stressful that gradient is! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems I recall that there has mostly always been a sharp gradient in the I85 storms in North Carolina, not specific to Raleigh only. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted Tuesday at 10:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:59 PM We bought a house about 5 miles west of Franklinton 6 months ago. Big difference at my new spot vs places like Fuquay or Clayton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still time to reverse the trend and we got happy hour Nam this afternoon Same - however based on past history I wouldn’t be surprised - and am sort of expecting, some mixing in ne ga. Looking like a pretty classic I85 and it’s rare not to mix around here. Hopefully can stay mostly snow for all of us. Sometimes the mix is after a decent amount of snow fortunately. I am just glad we finally appear to be heading for a SE winter snow. It’s been 2 years ugh 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StantonParkHoya Posted Tuesday at 11:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:06 PM The high temps on Saturday are a little suspect, particularly if sheets of concrete are on the ground. No way we hit 40. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we hit 40. Agreed. They usually undercut guidance with snow cover though. Probably a big melt though but at this point i just hope there’s something to worry about melting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted Tuesday at 11:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:12 PM How are ya'll holding up today? Everyone take their meds? Good and hydrated?

We live about 30 minutes from Oxford. If I wasn’t knee deep in taking down Christmas decorations the other day, I would have driven up there and just sat at the Hardee’s and stared out the window looking like an idiot. I am so desperate for some snow, like everyone is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted Tuesday at 11:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:18 PM Wake is a big county geographically but also situated in a spot meteorologically that makes it the transition. It is the right distance from the coast with these systems . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWY316wx Posted Tuesday at 11:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:24 PM Everyone keeps talking snow and I am pumped about it, but what I am not pumped about is the transition from snow to sleet to ZR. I hope this is more sleet than ZR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
