Quick update to confirm with all the curious snow lovers begging me for the latest… the storm is playing out according to plan.
Light snow has laid down about 1/3″ here at the world HQ of WeatherTrex.com. Snow is now moderate here in Raleigh, ITB. We should expect snow rates to ramp up over the next hour, such that after 9pm we should be accumulating at a moderate pace.
The wheelhouse for moderate to occasionally heavy snow in Wake county looks to be from 9pm to midnight/1am. Around midnight/1am, expect snow to tapper back down and all the fun is done around 3am.
I have no reason to change my thinking of 3-4″ in Raleigh. Look for totals that could scale up to 5-7″ as you head east to JoCo and over to Wilson where it’s all snow too.
Be mindful of lots of black ice for the next couple of mornings. Limit morning travel as much as possible.
Enjoy the snow!

Your fame spreads by word of mouth: Just as a friend shared your link with me years ago, friends now ask me for the Weathertrex link whenever snow is imminent. Thanks for continuing to keep Raleigh informed!
