As a weather nerd, I always find it fascinating watching the various processes at work in the atmosphere causing varying precipitation types and the changes between them.

Why do we have such issues with warm noses? I don’t get it. Like why it can’t it just snow six+ inches for once like it used to back in the old days without all of these mixing issues? And how Atlanta got more snow than I did is absolutely baffling.

Climate change. And being close enough to the ocean seems to always put the Triangle on the edge.

For RDU, this track was never hallmark and was always going to present problems. We need a low 50 miles off the coast, not on it. Sure, climate change alters the background state and makes a pure snow outcome less likely on the aggregate, but this was a flawed set up — even in 1960.

Don’t have a great scientific answer for you about the warm noses. It’s just been very difficult of late to get an old school true Miller A type of system. 
 

Regarding Atlanta, they got lucky that the forcing set up where it did. Good for them. Just absolute luck of the draw with how this system unfolded.

I agree.

Just shy of 4" just west of Eden. It's still snowing at a light to occasionally moderate clip, but I'm not expecting much more in the way of accumulation with the back edge rapidly approaching. I didn't notice any mixing at my location during the entire event. 

25.5°/25.0°
