It's crazy how hard it is too get snow here in the Triangle. Not enough precip, temps at 33 and rain, temps in the 20s but the track is too far inland and causes the temos to rise, warm nose, etc, etc.
I think some folks are hung up on wanting huge snow totals and not thinking how big of an impact 3 to 5 inches of snow, freezing rain, and sleet will have.
Maybe this will be like the the Christmas 2010 storm where it looked great, then looked awful about 48 hours out only to look great again 24 hours before the storm.
