snowinnc Posted Thursday at 05:24 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:24 PM I can’t believe we are stuck in freaking Canada with cold rain while RDU is getting this amazing snowstorm. My kids at home are thrilled, but my 16 year-old who we took skiing is pissed! She wants to fly home now! My son cleared off our snowboard (which is a cutting board from my kitchen) so I can’t wait to see what the total is in Northern Wake County. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Montreal just had two huge snow storms and bitter cold temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowinnc Posted Thursday at 05:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:38 PM I didn’t believe the returns I saw on the radar, so I told my son to FaceTime me on his walk in the neighborhood. It’s really incredible. I could see how big the flakes were on facetime. Congrats my fellow RDU folks, we finally got our winter wonderland’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a mix a few times on the trip, but we haven’t had straight up pure snow. It’s ridiculous. Now my youngest daughter is furious. She’s actually looking at flights home today. We’re coming home tomorrow night, so there should still be plenty, but it’s still not the same. My son keeps sending us all videos, but I told him to stop sending them to our 16 year-old because her day is pretty much ruined at this point seeing how much snow we have at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I guess cold in the east of NA, but warm in the west I guess. I'm really sorry to hear that; that sucks. No way you could predict that the one week you spend in Canada NC would get a snow.

Our youngest is on her winter break as well, which makes her even more angry. If this happened next week, she would have had several snow days. My husband and I decided we might just need to keep our mouths shut the rest of the day because she is in a foul mood seeing videos of friends are posting of them sledding. This really is the best snow northern Wake County has seen and in I can’t remember how long. It’s crazy how we are stuck in Canada watching it from afar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowinnc Posted Thursday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:49 PM @NorthHillsWx@eyewallare the roads really bad there? I think you guys are in midtown, but we’re in Northern Wake about five minutes from Falls Lake. My two kids who are at home were responsible and made pancakes for dinner last night, but my 18 year-old son said he is going to stir crazy and wants to take his Bronco to Zaxby’s for dinner. I told him absolutely not because I don’t think Norwood Road is probably in the best condition, but I’m wondering how Six Forks is. @Brick Tamland aren’t you in my area too?

chris21 Posted Thursday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:53 PM Decent storm up in the far western mountains of Avery. 2.5 inches yesterday and almost 4 so far today. Drifts are over two feet at this point and it’s very squally currently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCBlizzard Posted Thursday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:54 PM Measured an additional 1" fresh snow today. As others mentioned - the flake sizes were incredible. Event total of about 4.2". Awesome system! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted Thursday at 06:00 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 06:00 PM We’re down to flurries and it’s starting to melt so I went ahead and took my last measurement. 0.70” today, 3.90” for the event, 3.70” settled depth on the uncleared board including yesterday and todays total. I have no doubt we would’ve had much more had the majority not fallen during daylight. It’s 29 degrees and there was meltwater on my wooden snowboard. Honestly we may have had more than my 0.70” I should’ve measured after the first band. Great storm 5.80” on the season. Exceeded climo and wall to wall cold besides first two week in Feb. Winter gets an A and if we luck into one more storm A+ is on the table 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great storm I had my son go out and measure and he said we got an additional .6”, which brings our total for the storm to 4.2”. Crazy. I told him to take in my cutting board and wash it! Definitely an amazing storm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had cops sitting there with lights on because several cars slid off the road in one of the curves.

eyewall Posted Thursday at 06:14 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:14 PM Roads are fine in Raleigh. 50 by falls lake was dicey as was 98 between there and Wake Forest but overall not the worst. Everything is quickly melting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted Thursday at 06:51 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 06:51 PM No question Wake verified warning across the northern half of the county. Durham county definitely exceeded warning criteria despite the advisory. An over performer by any means for here. Still 30 degrees out. Sun is starting to peek. We’ll see how much water can evaporate off roads but it’s likely to be an ice rink again tomorrow morning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted Thursday at 06:58 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:58 PM Not a spec of snow to be seen on the ground here. Kind of bizarre. Had about a half inch total yesterday and this morning but even with temps in the upper 20s and full cloud cover it started to disappear even while it was still snowing a bit. An hour later it was all, and I mean all, gone. Even in the spots shaded by bushes and buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
