78''

2/26/2015 7:42:47 AM

I would estimate 8" here.

2/26/2015 7:43:18 AM

Made the mistake of trying to take my 240 out the other day in the snow. I didn't get out of my driveway before it was over. Maybe an extra hundred pounds over the rears would have helped. Just got new all season tires on the day before (my car is an extreme case though)

2/26/2015 7:44:25 AM

Lol at all those people who were upset some of us called this a bust last night. I mean I'm not going to work today but I also only got maybe 3-4 inches here in northeast Raleigh. Guess I'll have to Goto work tomorrow .

2/26/2015 7:54:31 AM

I ride on summer tires all year. My car will stay parked until this mess goes away. Its about 5-6" of slush outside right now. My dogs love it.

2/26/2015 8:08:04 AM

The snow accumulation doesn't seem all that impressive in Cary, until I realized how much freezing rain was in there, oh god.

2/26/2015 8:32:31 AM

Generator is running. Getting bombarded with texts from customers without power worried about their fish

You win this time! *shakes fist*

This fucking sucks. 2" of total accumulation here just south of downtown, and nothing is frozen solid. So much for that snowman I was going to make. And hell, even my snow loving dog hates this shit

Not even enough to justify being late this morning.

2/26/2015 9:25:46 AM

^^Do you manage an apt complex or something?

2/26/2015 9:26:28 AM

Parents in northern Durham got rocked. Just lookin at the pics they sent I'd say 6 inches. They've been without power since 11 last night. If this storm HAD dumped wide spread amounts of 8+ inches...Duke energy would be in over their heads for the next few days.

2/26/2015 9:36:29 AM

What does 40 look like? Gotta drive from Greensboro to Wilmington this afternoon. Greensboro got 6" in places, but the roads held heat from yesterday and faired pretty well with just slush. Plows did a good job too.

2/26/2015 9:37:42 AM

^^How are the roads up in Durrrrham?

Are the roads full of bumper to bumper cars that aren't moving?

I'm supposed to go to a show at Motorco tonight, and while Richmond isn't too bad, i'm trying to decide whether it's worth a three hour drive.

2/26/2015 10:10:25 AM

probably 8 -10 inches here in oxford.

[Edited on February 26, 2015 at 10:21 AM. Reason : snow day]

2/26/2015 10:21:15 AM

^^ any chance they'll cancel it?

[Edited on February 26, 2015 at 10:23 AM. Reason : probably not]

2/26/2015 10:22:38 AM

How is 540 today?

2/26/2015 10:42:55 AM

when i came in 5 hours ago it had a thin layer of slush on it.

2/26/2015 10:53:00 AM

I'm supposed to be flying in tonight at 9... hopefully 540 isn't too bad to drive home.

2/26/2015 11:29:31 AM

it will be fine, it's above freezing with some sun

2/26/2015 12:16:18 PM

my power back on in north raleigh after 9hrs!

2/26/2015 12:38:09 PM

^ Never lost mine

Those people are the worst.

should tell them to stick straws in the tank and blow bubbles manually until the power comes back on

"Please accept my apologies for going AWOL. I guess I'm still old school in that I am used to using every bit of time I have to look at data, and then sharing that on television. I'm getting old, and it's harder to teach the old dog new tricks smile emoticon. As I reflect back on the storm that is currently winding down, and the days that led up to it, I'm wrestling with something. I completely understand that at some point, you have to make a call on what you feel is the most likely scenario. I may very well have been late doing that this time around. My excuse and/or justification for doing this was, and is, that I try very hard to be honest with everybody about how confident I am in the forecast. We have better tools than ever now to assess that degree of uncertainty. And frankly, I can't remember a situation where there was any more uncertainty than the one last night, even up to the point where the precipitation had started falling! Committing to numbers in that situation to me is like scheduling a wedding before you've met the girl of your dreams. Twenty five years ago, I was lucky enough to meet that girl, and then eventually did the wedding thing, but I digress smile emoticon. In any case, we got a lot of questions the past few days about so-and-so calling for this, that, and the other. I think this winter alone has proven that the folks that always go with the worst case scenario are doing so with one thing in mind. Every once in a blue moon, that approach works. I can promise you that I will never embrace that tactic. I remember my early days of insecurity, and they weren't about public service, but rather about me. Live and learn I guess....."

Here is a timelapse video I made overnight and into this morning from Carrboro showing the snowfall and accumulation.

Well there's that time three nights ago where you forecasted highs in the lower-mid 30's for Raleigh and a trace amount of snow and it ended up not reaching freezing and snowed for 9+ hours.

2/26/2015 3:17:59 PM

^^^^ nope

Thats pretty cool! Interesting to see the tree limbs start to sag with the weight of the snow, and I'm assuming the street light power going out and coming back on sometime in the night

Not necessarily. The reason we didnt get as much snow, is because it rained/iced more. We had about the same levels of precipitation, just as different forms. While wet snow will cause some trees down, ice is far more an issue, which is what most of the issues are.

2/26/2015 4:16:45 PM

We lost power here in GSO and had no ice or sleet. Just heavy snow. It's back on now though, but quite a bit of the county is still without.

2/26/2015 4:19:53 PM

Anyone know how the roads are in RTP?

2/26/2015 5:05:03 PM

I had 6 inches this morning, is probably down to about 3.5 or 4 now.

2/26/2015 5:05:16 PM

6 inches of morning wood?

Not to shabby.

2/26/2015 5:09:16 PM

i went 80 mph all way down 540 today from rdu to zebulon

2/26/2015 6:10:23 PM

2/26/2015 6:23:53 PM

CLAP YO HANDS
STOMP YO FEET
THANK THA LORD
WE GOT HEAT

2/26/2015 8:04:09 PM

^Yes! Thank goodness!

2/26/2015 8:18:15 PM

Black ice in the morning.

Take heed.

2/26/2015 8:18:25 PM

power off of Trailwood has been out since around 2am

I left around 6:30 with it still out

there were lines/trees down everywhere

2/26/2015 8:25:38 PM

^^

2/26/2015 8:30:27 PM

2/26/2015 10:15:30 PM

bullshit the lights were out

2/26/2015 11:08:15 PM

Yeah, can they change that map to "shoveling/masturbation"?

Cause I talked to people, and according to them, that's what happened.


Naturally, I just kept busy with my charity work.

2/26/2015 11:16:17 PM

The roads were fine tonight. Even had some cop tell me I was going "fast for the conditions"

They were fine. Would take a blind person to run off the road tonight.

2/26/2015 11:28:46 PM

It was probably water a few hours ago....temps are in the 20s now though.

You do realize this type of snow is as bad if not worse than ice, right? My parents got no ice. Still without power for 15 hours.

2/27/2015 2:43:58 AM

drove some back roads and 440 this morning...it was pretty clear, though 440 around rock quarry had some black ice...side roads were in decent shape

still working from home, though

2/27/2015 7:04:38 AM

i gave myself at least an hour delay today...

not because of the road conditions....but because i was up from 3-5 a.m. reading about that damn dress
