It's a beautiful, sunny, 49 degree day in Wilmington. The sun is putting plenty of heat into the ground to hopefully melt away what few flakes are predicted for late tonight.

1/17/2018 11:01:57 AM

1/17/2018 11:07:31 AM

^^thats where I am too, so far just a trace of light rain

1/17/2018 11:16:32 AM

full on dome collapse. dome needs more funding.

1/17/2018 11:37:13 AM

It still seems like this is gonna be a bigger deal north and west of Raleigh. It just started sticking to grass near campus, still nothing on the road.

1/17/2018 11:45:51 AM

It's gonna snow for the next 8-10 hours

1/17/2018 11:56:29 AM

Make the Dome Great Again

1/17/2018 11:58:10 AM

light rain mist (maybe some flakes in there) in western joco

1/17/2018 11:59:24 AM

Dud in Johnston county so far

I had pretty heavy flakes for about 20 mins but that ended maybe 30 mins ago. But the system is moving this way.

Supposedly Creedmoor has 4+ inches already

1/17/2018 12:58:53 PM

I am currently getting blasted by the white stuff, and expect to get some tonight as well.

1/17/2018 12:59:54 PM

^^^Yeah, same. Pretty steady freezing rain now. I think we are too late to the party and the warmest part of the day is hitting when the precip is.

Pretty damn depressing given that a lot of friends where we used to live in the Rolesville area are building snowmen

Gina Benitez on WRAL still has not got the message that she's supposed to encourage people to stay home.

It's silly.

1/17/2018 1:16:05 PM

3 inches in Durham so far

1/17/2018 1:31:12 PM

Really good snow coming down now in western joco.

1/17/2018 1:37:55 PM

Anyone have an updated accumulation forecast? Still less than one inch at my house.

1/17/2018 1:44:52 PM

Falls Lake (Almost to creedmoor) still at 2.5 inches or so.

1/17/2018 1:50:17 PM

^^ NWS says that we are trending towards the high end forecast, which would mean 5"-6"

Anybody know what the roads are like around Wake Med Cary?

1/17/2018 2:15:40 PM

Your roads are fucked.

1/17/2018 2:18:20 PM

^^^^that would be nice, but everything I've seen so far has been pretty weak.

^^I would imagine that Kildaire and Tryon road are fine. Probably slushy but not frozen.

1/17/2018 2:24:33 PM

Just now starting to stick to the ground in joco

1/17/2018 2:27:33 PM

^^^^ one of my friends was just driving around Cary.. Said it was "kinda shitty"

So like you can probably make it somewhere if you have to, but not for long..

1/17/2018 2:34:24 PM

~ 4" now around Oxford. Noticing that the wind seems to be picking up.

1/17/2018 2:34:29 PM

lots of traffic cams in this here link

^2 how close are you to Oxford? We are getting dumped on and I’m in downtown

1/17/2018 2:48:13 PM

just kinda slushy still when i went on my beer run, if you need to go somewhere in raleigh just go soon and you should be okay. areas to the west are probably slick by now.

1/17/2018 2:51:46 PM

So you're saying my roads are fine?

1/17/2018 3:03:56 PM

9” in s. Durham

A few miles south, though north of the Tar River. Still coming down hard. That 4" was my guess when I walked out to the mailbox: came up to the top of my hiking boots.

[edit] so, maybe closer to 4.5" - 5.0" at that time.

1/17/2018 3:13:52 PM

Lots of 8-9 inch reports in Chapel Hill/Carrboro

1/17/2018 3:51:04 PM

It’s been raining in hoke county since 10, just now changed to snow. Nothing sticking, and it looks like it’s about passed us. Awesome

1/17/2018 4:11:48 PM

So weve only got 2 hours of snow left? I don't think we'll meet forecast in Raleigh

1/17/2018 4:28:16 PM

^ 2 hours? Where are you seeing that? I'm seeing everything showing it snow in Raleigh for at least 6-7 more hours

1/17/2018 4:33:04 PM

3-4" at five points currently, still coming.

1/17/2018 5:05:13 PM

^^can confirm

Snow about up to my dog's head.

1/17/2018 5:07:17 PM

NWS says raleigh should expect an additional 1-2" from 5PM to the end of the event (with more additional snow to east, less to west)
