Snow Reports and pictures from Southeast, please post!

[wxbrad]

Just wanted to get a head start on the totals and pictures. I'm heading to work at WCNC at 2:30am and will have my digital camera with me. I'll try to get my pics on the forum asap, in between weather hits on-air.

Just a FYI, our web-site will be streaming our weathercasts, so feel free to check them out. Plus we will be posting pictures there as soon as viewers send them in.

I know JQ, if they already have 5 inches I don't know what we are going to get. There is yellows and reds all over the map down to the south and it isn't sleet.

Yeah, just a trace of snow for RDU. As of right now, it looks as if the bulk of the heavy snow around Fayetteville is moving to the northeast and will be east of Raleigh.

Time to fire up the grill and roast a couple of crows!

[SunDog]

ANother major dissapointment for the Asheville metro area. Forecast of 8-12 inches panned out to be 1-3 inches.
Im officialy retiring after this event.
