This morning's weather was pretty disappointing. My car had a nice thin layer of snow. I saw lots of snow covered cars coming from the north on the way into town, but the ground was pretty wet. I did see some nice dusting on leaves/grass in North Raleigh, but nothing very exciting.
It looks like tonight/tomorrow has a little more possibility for something. Although 'they' are saying it will be patchy accumulation, so I'm withholding my enthusiasm.
NWS Winter Weather Advisory (as of 12:30pm)
"Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 PM this evening to
12 PM EST Wednesday
The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from 6 PM this
evening to 12 PM EST Wednesday.
A strong upper level disturbance and surface low moving into the
area from the northwest... combined with cold air in place... will
lead to the development of areas of snow over north central North
Carolina tonight into Wednesday morning.
Snow is expected to begin this evening around The Triad area and
spread eastward through the Triangle area... Smithfield... and the
Rocky Mount-Wilson area through tonight. There may be a lull in
the snow for several hours overnight... then additional snow bands
on the west side of the surface low are expected to cross this
area early Wednesday morning. The snow should taper off by noon
Wednesday. Storm total snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is
anticipated... and locally higher totals are possible.
In addition to the snow... brisk northwest winds may drop the wind
chill into the teens at times on Wednesday.
A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow will cause
travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited
visibilities... and use caution while driving. People across north
central North Carolina should keep up with the very latest
conditions and forecasts from the National Weather Service."
