Two to three feet in the highlands around northern parts of New England.

Pretty amazing storm when you think about it.

Please, for your safety, stay home, stay inside, and stay off the roads.

We've got the fourth snowiest day on record in Charlotte.

A top five.

The one that was behind us was set back in 1880, where they picked up about 11 inches of snow.

Officially at the airport, 11 inches of snow at Charlotte Douglas.

I mean, that is an amazing wallop of snow.

Yeah, 11 inches of snow.

Starting them out the way a little bit on the streets.

You've got the Arctic air locked in place right now.

Winds are going to start dying down later this afternoon.

And that means you're going to see these temperatures bomb down again to the single digits.

And unfortunately, every slushy thing you see in the roadways all around the Carolinas,

is going to refreeze again for tonight.

A lot of good forcing for heavy snow, and that's now edging right out of Greenville into the Piedmont of North Carolina.

That's why we're starting to see these snowfall totals pick up, and this is just phase number one.

This eventually will transfer its energy offshore, but that's not going to be until late this afternoon to the evening hours.

So we're in it now with heavy bouts of snow.

Winds have been starting to pick up.
