More snow coming - possibly a lot - Wed/Thurs 2/25-26 (Raleigh: estimate, electricity)

Good night all. It looks incredible outside, and it's coming down hard. Should be an interesting morning.

Go away sleet, you are killing our totals!

6" in Durham so far, still snowing moderately plenty left on radar. Should end up with 7" at least up here.

We've got 4-5" between chapel hill and hillsborough. Trees bent over with snow, deep silence outside, beautiful

Probably 3" in HS...snow ended early, was expecting a lot more.

You were on the low end of the forecasted totals. Northern Wake Cty was expected to get more.

Over 6" around Falls Lake. And power is out all north of 540. I saw over 6000 out an hour ago in this area alone!

We'll end up with 8-12" easily by morning.

Big props to Progress for requiring an account # and PIN # to report an outage. That's SO convenient!

I'm North of 540 off Falls of Neuse by the lake and we still have power. Very thankful for underground power lines!

Our lines are underground too. But looking at the outage map, it's not "localized"....over 6000 in Northern Wake without and close to 100,000 across the triangle. Probably more if you didn't need an account # to report.

The northern US1 corridor looks good on the outage map. West of there from Falls to Durham is almost blacked out. Lots of people reporting "lightning" tonight, but are actually seeing transformers pop.

Also thankful for underground lines! Though my power flickered anyway at one point.

Was hoping to wake up to a foot of snow, but this works too (maybe 5 inches out there?).
