Charlotte area is going to have a wild gradient between SC suburbs, Mooresville/Lake Norman, and Gastonia where a short distance will make all the difference

NAM is a joke with thermals - do not trust NAM for precip type...or amounts.

Charlotte area still scores there But can't remember the last time relied on a model like the UK to get a snowstorm right

Less than 3 days out and precip types and amounts are still wildly up in the air Just glad Charlotte will break it's streak of over 1000 days of snow

what a mess for the Charlotte area but hopefully it keeps (mostly) all snow

Not disputing RDU. Whether by city population, 482k (Raleigh) vs 911k (Charlotte) or metro (2.3 metro Raleigh vs 3.4 million), Charlotte is clearly bigger. Raleigh has many competiting cities with Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, etc but Charlotte is much bigger. Hope for all us to score on snow.

Those are terrible odds for Charlotte and hopefully overdone. People rooting for Raleigh is over stated on this forum when Charlotte has more population and closer to the mountains. North of Charlotte (Lake Norman) is almost always guaranteed to score more.

Atleast for Charlotte, historically the snowiest day on average is March 2nd Plenty of time to go

Now 15" with 3 foot snow drifts at 5400' per Brad Panovich

The trends don't look good. I don't think all the wishcasting is going to make this any sort of significant event for us. Ensemble support is quite low. Some may get some flurries and some end up with an inch but doesn't look like we can cash out on it since it is moving so fast.

Charlotte is looking at 1-3 inches which I’m happy with. I don’t give much if any validity to what the NAM is showing. Somewhere East of Charlotte is going to get a nice band of heavy snow.

Thats a contrast with GSP
