It snowed in Chapel Hill this weekend. It started around 7 PM on Friday night and snowed off and on for the entire night. When we got up the next morning we had around 6 inches of snow. Precipitation was still coming down, though as the morning went on, it turned into mostly sleet. That was a bit disappointing given that it was only 26° F outside. The weatherman said that a warm mass of air had inserted itself between the upper moisture containing layer and the colder air on the ground. This had the effect of turning our nice snow into hard sleet as it passed through the warm layer on its way down. As the sleet fell it actually pounded down the snow to some degree. Anyhow, the sleet mixed in with some snow continued to fall all day until around midnight. Everything was canceled through Monday. Here's some pictures.

Snow measured on top of the Weber Grill.

It got down to 16° F last night, it's 27° F right now and it's supposed to hit 44° F today, so the snow will be around for a few more days.

Looks like y'all will get another pile of snow this weekend, too. We are being spared here in midwest.
that was me, not Dan.
sooooo ready for warm weather...no warmth in these pictures

It's as cold as the Carolina shooting against Ga. Tech! Ready for the warm weather and some hot shooting by the Tarheels.
