Pretty awesome watching it snow at 21 degrees. Not normal here

This honestly feels like when I used to live in Long Island.

Based off the earthcam myrtle beach looks to have gone over to sleet...or at least a mix

Have family in MB - reportedly a mix

Clearly this is "historic" for the gulf coast and points inland, but how historic will this be along the atlantic seaboard in GA, SC and NC?  Anybody have the data on that handy?

It’ll take 6.5” at Wilmington to become a top 10 event.  The record is 15.3” on 12/22-24/1989.

That’s what’s occurring just N of Wilmington, in Hampstead.  Sleet coming down extremely hard; wasting serious snow amounts.  IMG_2465.thumb.png.871e7ad9239a44e2cd620c28fc80a4ec.png

Same north of Carolina Beach.  All sleet this past hour. I was kinda bummed when I noticed my footprints were still very visible from when I was out there over an hour ago.  It's definitely going to eat into our snow totals down here.  We're at barely 3 inches.

We've been sleet down here in SE GA for past 4 hours lol. Got an inch on the ground so far but definitely ate into our snow potential here. 

Looking at Correlation Coefficient on radar, looks like we'll remain sleet for the next couple of hours.

Finally at 12:50AM, I’m after all of these hours seeing some snow mixung in with the still predominant sleet! It’s 28.6F. I have ~1.25” of sleet on the ground! @dsaur would love it!

It's 28F here and heavy snow now. Finally switched over. I love how many people are outside right now at 1am.

I just measured ~1.5-1.75” of mainly sleet mixed in with the ZR of earlier. Totally sleeted in! Everything bright white. It’s amazing how light it looks more like dusk than the middle of the night! And now after an hour of a little snow mixing in with the sleet, the snow, which includes some big beautiful flakes, is increasing at 2:15!

 On another check at 2:20AM, it’s still majority pouring sleet!

Currently 28F with sleet.

After that brief period of heavy snow, we switched back over to sleet. We were pretty much sleet for 90% of the storm. 3 inches of sleet and snow in backyard at the moment.

CMC/RGEM were the only models that showed a pure sleetfest here. Still an incredible storm though. I am curious to see what KAYS reports for totals and if we beat the 1973 record.

Gotta sleep sometime... at least till the eight year old comes bounding down the stairs dressed and ready to go at 0445 :axe:

It's mostly sleet here (on top of ice) so we'll see how long it sticks around...

Picked up a half inch last night. This pic is literally what it's like. Cars stranded everywhere. Local police department posted roads are closed. Find another way home. I understand we usually don't get snow, but for a half inch??? Comical, sad actually.
