National Weather Service 3:00 PM EST February 3, 2026 Raleigh, NC National Weather Service Expected Ice Amounts Most likely ice accumulation : ●Generally very minor accumulations across the region.(less than 0.10”). ●Highest amounts if any, would be across portions of the Sandhills and Coastal Plain.

Starting to feel like the NWS is just fucking with us now. Is this a Pacman? A penis sticking out? Or is it *really* projected ice accumulation? I mean yes, please stay away from Durham, but this ice distribution seems bizarre. #wx #NCwx #DurhamNC #FrenchToastEmergency

A snow accumulation map of central North Carolina from the NWS office in Raleigh.

Gonna show this map to my grandkids & tell them it explains the difference between Lexington style barbecue & Eastern North Carolina style barbecue:

A satellite photo of the southeastern United States, featuring the Carolinas. Snow cover is really obvious between cloud banks to the northwest and southeast.

So far, we've survived winter storm Gianna. The sun is out, but it was quite cold last night. This is a good satellite photo showing some of the snow cover in the Carolinas & neighboring states. Story link: www.cnn.com/weather/live... #wx #NCwx #DurhamNC #WinterStormGianna #FrenchToastEmergency

… discussion, it's apparently not because of dry air, but from "a gap in lift between the mid/upper low to our west and the coastal low to our east." forecast.weather.gov/product.php?...

Weather radar for NWS Raleigh showing a bunch of snow with a tongue-like gap through the center of the image.

If any of you have heard about a wedge of no snow in the N.C. Research Triangle area, all you have to do is look at the NWS radar, & it's really obvious. 🤣 We currently have snow in Durham, but I assume not in Wake County. Reading the forecaster…

No Frozen Death From Above yet in Durham. I understand it was falling in Person County before I went to bed. Projected amounts are roughly halved locally. Onset time has been pushed to noon. #wx #NCwx #DurhamNC #FrenchToastEmergency

Good lord, this is definitely turning into another French Toast Emergency. triangletoot.party/@nwsraleigh_... #wx #NCwx #DurhamNC #FrenchToastEmergency

A vehicle at night in light sleet, covered with a silver car covering purchased back in the day when the car was new to me, in early pandemic days.

Sleet here, maybe tiny bits of snow. I covered the car!
Don’t ask me how I did it I just did it it was hard.

I believe there's currently frozen precipitation falling outside. There's some on cars, so I think it's been falling for a few minutes.

I went grocery shopping this morning, not to stock up for a #FrenchToastEmergency but just normal weekly shopping 2 days early. The store wasn't especially busy and it seems like people are not believing this is going to be a big weather event. 1/2

Walked outside with Buster about 3 pm, & white stuff was falling from the sky. County temperatures ranged from 33°F. to above 40. It's melting on contact in the city of Durham city right now, but it won't take much for it to freeze north of Durham County. #NCwx #DurhamNC #FrenchToastEmergency

#snowpocalypse 2025 has arrived. I hope everyone in its path has completed their #frenchtoastemergency prep.

A french toast emergency is when people panic buy bread, eggs, and milk before a storm. #themoreyouknow
