It’s been several years since I’ve gotten to know what it’s like to be underneath a 40+ dBz snow band and never thought I’d have to go to Whiteville, NC to see it. Aggregates are absolutely massive and occasionally mixed with sleet. #ncwx pic.twitter.com/DG4Qx3NBwS

I’m seeing moderate-heavy snow here in Whiteville under this band of 40+ dBz w/ large dendrites. I have about 0.2” of accumulation on grassy surfaces and it’s accumulating fairly quickly. @NWSWilmingtonNC @NWSRaleigh @NC_CoCoRaHS @NCWeatherhound @RaleighWx @wxbrad @katcampbellwx pic.twitter.com/S1D9PHeq1H
