What's coming tonight and tomorrow morning. I'm seeing people post some maps with more impressive snow coming back for round 2

12/9/2018 9:50:47 PM

Are we all driving to work at 8:30 tomorrow or nah

12/9/2018 9:57:31 PM

I'm gonna walk back to my office around 9 if I have power

12/9/2018 9:59:16 PM

Barely even got 4" in Cornelius.

12/10/2018 1:19:37 AM

Got to go to Charlotte from Wilmington for work this afternoon. Should be fine by then, right?

12/10/2018 6:37:29 AM

Interstates should be good unless this second band picks up

12/10/2018 7:41:17 AM

Snowing like crazy in Chapel Hill now. Started about half an hour ago.

12/10/2018 8:15:57 AM

Yes, the snow comes back.

12/10/2018 8:21:49 AM

The local news meteorologists blow it again. last night said no problems today....

12/10/2018 8:46:51 AM

^^^^^ Good luck!

12/10/2018 9:11:05 AM

i was about to get dressed for work then saw it was snowing again. sweatpants it is

12/10/2018 9:12:10 AM

some nice looking snow coming down in Morrisville. Roads coming into work this morning from Raleigh were fine. 70 mph all the way on I-40.

Back at my house in S Raleigh only got about 4-5 inches. Started raining around 9am Sunday so really had no chance to have any fun in the snow

12/10/2018 9:12:11 AM

I went outside to go clear the driveway as my wife was maybe going to work. Kids and I were off as schools and universities are closed. When I went out at 7:00 it was sleet/snow but while I was out there it fully switched over to snow and has been just dumping for like two hours now. They are calling for us to get another 2-4" inches possibly. If this keeps up the kids and I might not be going to work/school tomorrow either!

12/10/2018 9:18:54 AM

Right, there will be black ice on the road tomorrow morning, which is very dangerous for traffic.

12/10/2018 9:58:16 AM

^^lol, oh come on. We all know that they're going to cancel public school for probably the entire week.

12/10/2018 10:33:19 AM

My kids are in Chapel Hill-Carrboro, so not as many rural roads and long bus routes for them to deal with. Minimum I would say 2 hour delay for them tomorrow with a possibly closure for the whole day. After that I bet they are back to normal Wednesday through Friday.

12/10/2018 11:22:37 AM

Welp after some light icing yesterday morning I got Charlotte weather domed. I didn't get to have any snow fun

12/10/2018 11:50:17 AM

12/10/2018 11:57:27 AM

the snow yesterday ended up being a little over 7", but then some melted off during the rain/freezing rain we had in the pm.

Today its been snowing like crazy. Its awesome! Probably got another 2" or so today.

12/10/2018 12:03:32 PM

What happened to your neighbor? Saw the RFD truck out there at one point.

12/10/2018 3:51:56 PM

^ One of the trees in his backyard was touching a power line and was smouldering. Watch again - you'll see the smoke rising in the top-right corner near the end of the video. It was happening in at least 4 different places along the line.

They didn't seem to care and left after taking a look.

12/10/2018 4:32:50 PM

Firefighters won't fuck with power lines. All they can do is call the power company. And all the power company can do in that situation is kill the power so they can work on it and then get bitched at by customers. It'll protect itself.

12/10/2018 9:58:39 PM

By "they didn't seem to care," ^that's pretty much what I meant.
It wasn't likely to spread and eventually would either burn itself out or fault the line.

12/12/2018 1:32:46 PM

saw some early forecast maps posted on Facebook of a potential white Christmas!!!

Timelapse video was cool. What did you use to film it?

Synology has "Smart Time Lapse" built into Surveillance Station. It was pretty easy to set up since it manages everything anyway.

It was an impressive system for sure. If I directly post here the images will blow up the page. Here is a link to some shots of mine from Durham and Raleigh:

^I saw those pop up the other day and remembered seeing them on your Facebook. Good shots.
I guess there isn't much concern of snow and moisture causing a problem with the drone itself?

12/13/2018 5:18:35 PM

Thank you and if it is snow the props will keep most of it off the drone itself. Light rain is doable too but if it is heavy that can be a problem.

12/13/2018 10:02:23 PM

never knew that eyewall lived in a cemetary

12/13/2018 10:07:09 PM

Eyewall is an awesome poster on Americanwx

12/14/2018 10:12:15 AM

no

YOUR POWER WILL NOT BE FINE

1/7/2019 4:46:44 PM

there were a few runs heading toward 2" of freezing rain along the I-85 corridor

Luckily they're worthless this far out for anything other than a reminder to grocery shop mid-week.

1/7/2019 8:20:36 PM

Where are the maps showing a foot of snow to get my hopes up only to have them crushed?

1/7/2019 10:15:01 PM

Last few model runs I've seen are generally showing around 0.8"-1" QPF for most of Triad/Triangle for this particular event, just remains to be seen what the distribution of that will be between rain/snow/freezing rain

1/8/2019 12:09:02 PM

It's GOING to FREEZING RAIN

1/8/2019 7:03:03 PM

Either way, my power’s going out.

You’d think I’d bought a generator by now.

You’d be wrong!

1/8/2019 7:47:42 PM

Can't wait for that cold rain this weekend.

1/9/2019 1:07:28 PM

We got about 18" during the last storm, this weekend is just "sleet and maybe flurries" without any accumulation predictions ):

1/9/2019 5:30:49 PM

Its sunny and warm enough that I've got windows open airing out the house. Loving this weather, heading to Umstead to do some hiking.

12/26/2019 12:46:28 PM

false spring was great, but can we get some snow soon?

1/20/2020 10:27:39 AM

I gave up on this winter already.

1/20/2020 12:55:58 PM

Yep.

1/20/2020 7:48:19 PM

Agreed, this winter has been lame, where is The Nino when you need it?

1/20/2020 10:29:11 PM

I am enjoying mild winter. I wish it’d be 55-65 everyday from now until march
