Our seemingly annual snow event within the same few days of January came today with about 5 or so inches at my house. Here is a look at downtown Raleigh from the usual angles with the snowfall.

It appears that more snow will be possible this Monday night/Tuesday. A major Nor’easter will attack the entire East Coast of the United States, bringing severe thunderstorms to the coasts and Florida, but snow falling as far south as Birmingham, Alabama. We, however, are right in the middle of all of this. It is currently disputed wether we will get severe thunderstorms or a major snow event. Stay tuned to National Weather Service forecasts throughout the weekend. Whatever happens, it’s gonna be big.

The Hillsborough St trees shot is awesome. And that’s a lot of snow for NC’s standards…

Ari,
Timing of the critical pieces of the puzzle still needs to be hammered out. Different models have the precipation outrunning the cold air, but there is one (NAM, main American NWS model) that shows the potential for something. But I have a good feeling about a few flakes (at least) Monday night into Tuesday AM. Also a shot at a few flakes Tuesday night into Wednesday AM. As it looks right now sadly, after that, it looks like we’re going to be at/above average for the first half of Feb. Not a favorable upper level pattern for snow development, either.

Great photos! Everything looks so pretty when it’s snow covered. At least Raleigh rebounds quickly from snow, whereas in Pittsburgh, PA, it was snow and cold day after day and week after week. The novelty has worn off. I’m surprised that people actually had sleds to use. My son moved to Raleigh for a job and told me that his offices was closed due to the snow. Now if they only did that in Pittsburgh!

When did we break 400,000?

Probably like last month… LOL the last population estimate was 392,552 on July 1, 2008 I believe so it’s likely we crossed the 400k mark.

Maryann….RAleigh doesnt have the snowplows to support the city. We can go a year or even TWO years with NO snow. The city would be wasting money (In their opinions) So the city will close down. On another note, Raleigh recieves more ICE and Sleet than snow..that explains the confusion of Southern drivers not being able to drive in the snow…..On top of MOST cars up north already have “snow” tires, where as the south, we dont really need them! I have lived upstate New York as well (Syracuse) I figured that was the “secret” to driving in the snow.

Anybody see wet snow or sleet mixing with the rain this morning (10/18)? There were some reports of it in Durham, Chapel Hill, and the farigrounds area…
