1/21-1/22 Winter Storm OBS Thread

My sister lives in what was our parents house just North of Leggett, NC,  a little rural town in Edgecombe county not too far from Halifax Co.

3.75" total. Biggest snow since I moved here in 1998! I believe some areas just to my south and east got closer to 5 inches. Currently 15.4 with the snowpack.

I don't see any snow total posts from Augusta, GA. I am 20 miles north of Augusta and ended up with 2 inches. I tried to find a place to take a picture with no trees down but thanks to being in the eastern eyewall of Helene, I have extensive damage to trees all over my land due to 100+ mph wind gusts.

Congratulations! Definitely a solid storm for most all of middle Georgia.

Navarre FL 7.75” for a final tally. 16 degrees for the low this morning. Milton FL 20 miles north of me shattered the all time Florida record for snow with 8.8”. It’s been an event that I can’t wrap my head around!

Got about 5" here. Lots of blowing and drifting with the strong winds so hard to measure. Currently 21 with the wind chill around 5-10 degrees. Very cold out there.

[Orange county]

Nice inch and halfish in Garner Pleased

The only surprise I had was it basically stooped accumulating a little after 10 pm

[wxmoose]

Ended up just shy of 2" in Smithfield, NC after sitting in a dry slot forever.

Once in a lifetime event for the furthest southern posters and snow for pretty much the whole forum. Sledding with my 3 yo. Absolutely gorgeous out. Wish we’d gotten more but after losing the storm then being saved by the NW trend in the last 24 hours it feels like a huge win. Deep winter feel. 22 degrees full sun and solid snow pack

9” of snow in Florida is nuts. 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

My brother said over an inch of sleet in Hilton Head.

Still coming down and blowing in eastern Carteret and OBX. On the security camera it looks like a 1' snow drift on my north-facing back porch there.

No doubt. I had about 30 mins of flakes from 3:45-4ish. super tiny and lots.

Not really. We were never really going to see much but the models at the last minute did start to throw a bit of moisture here to make it look festive.

It's still snowing here this morning. We've picked up another 1" since about 8am. My saltwater creek has been iced up all night.

I'm not talking about just here. Charlotte got less than an inch, Raleigh around an inch to 2 in places. It did trend west some but not some incredible turnaround for a major snowstorm for the piedmont.

Nope it didn't and that was very clear I'm pretty sure by the model runs but snow and winter weather have been rare and I'd say most are happy with that.

I85 forcefield in effect.

Inlaws sent these pictures from Destin FL.

CLT was a hundred miles from so much as a stray dandruff flake ~24 hrs out. This was a significant NW shift over a very short window. 
 

Carolina Crusher II was never on the table. Even the rosiest model output from drunk uncle 18Z NAM was several standard deviations away.

Since I got 3.5" with the last storm my .5" this time was just fine, a good trade for the incredible historic snows further south. Got down to 13F last night, lots of more road issues this morning. Atlanta always has a traffic nightmare in these types of scenarios, partly because a lot of people have no idea how to drive if the roads are slick at all, but also because any sort of hill was impossible to drive on. Should resolve soon.
