1/21 - 1/22 Winter Storm Threat

NE SC has been stuck in a dry slot most of the night and now that it has filled in, it’s very light. They had upped our forecast to like 3-5” but I’m not seeing it on the radar at this point. 
 

Am I wrong?

Congrats to all of my weather brethren down east. The radar looks glorious. I dream of a day that solid green returns and sub 32 temps grace my life but until then, I’ll live vicariously through you guys (before you say it, yes we had a foothill event a few weeks ago but nobody is claiming that disgusting little sleet fest), carry on.

Myrtle beach just got bumped up from 2-4inches to 4-6.  Sleet stayed off shore better than expected

21 degrees and moderate to heavy snow in eastern NC is such a nice treat.  Not very often we get those conditions after 20+ hours below freezing with another 36+ hours below freezing.

Weather channel has Myrtle beach at 8-12”. For what it’s worth.

Yes I see the hrrr increased amounts too.  Looks like 6 to 9 for my parents in Conway

That was fun. When's the next one?

I believe we checked in at right around 6 inches here in Albany, GA.  My in-laws live in Lee County right next door and measured 8.5 inches at their house.  I haven't seen snow like this since I was in college at UGA in 2009 in Athens and we got a stalled winter storm over the town and it dumped 9 inches in rapid succession. 

The biggest issue we are going to have is we won't get above freezing except for about 4-5 hours today and we have a foretasted low of 12 degrees tonight so anything that melts is going to absolutely freeze back.  I'm more worried about the rapid drop in temps tonight than I was the storm that came through - and it looks like we won't have a night above freezing until Sunday.  The arctic air that came in with this system is no joke and I'd like it to go home now.
