Couple of things…
1) the antecedent ground temperatures really held their own — while it was snowing really hard, it worked. but now the precip rates are winding down earlier than anticipated, which brings me to…
2) the axis of enhanced moisture never extended as far north as advertised— that means that the NE corner of the state that was expected to be the winner will end up underfed. In Wake county, while the snow coming down now is lovely, there will be little to no additional accumulation.
Still the temps will drop well below freezing tonight and all that slush on the roads will be treacherous tomorrow. The question then becomes how much melting and evaporation do we get tomorrow…should be a lot… to prevent more back ice on Sat AM when temps will plummet to the lower 20s.
Then… guess what… I’m watching the potential for another winter event next weekend! Fun times. Enjoy!
