Got about .5 of snow in Raleigh and then ice the rest of the night. Accumulation already starting to go away this AM.

Underwhelming in Charlotte. Local news is showing pictures people send in and I am less than impressed.

I walked to a neighbor’s house in my neighborhood in Charlotte last night around 7:00 and it was just raining. Not even anything icy (which is a good thing), but pure rain. Total letdown. We got about an hour’s worth of snowfall, and while it looked pretty falling, it mostly did not stick. Once it started to stick, my kids and I got all our warm clothes on and went outside. Right when we got outside, it turned to sleet. No more snow after that.

This map suggests we got an inch here but my eyes say not even half that.
 
Looked up some snow totals for NC. Most was in West Jefferson with 6.5. Nobody else on the list hit 5 inches. Most were 1-3. The storm really fizzled out.
 
Well, guess the NAM was right in this one being more sleet than snow for most folks in NC. It was nice to see snow again after almost 3 years without it. It's pretty much all melted here. Maybe we can get a big one before winter ends.
 
We got about 3 inches of mostly snow with some sleet. Kids are still doing some sledding so while not as good as I had hoped not a total bust either. Was down to the last two in my poker game and pushed all in with pocket aces and got beat by a flush on the river.
 
Roads in Orange County are still messy in shaded spots.

I see the forecasts are starting to work in a better snow chance for the 20th
