Yes. My place is a fair distance from any major roads, but more importantly it's in a fairly low place. So any time in the winter that it's clear and calm, we tend to cool down pretty quick, and several degrees colder than GSO.

Looks like the AI just came back considerably south as well. Hard to tell but looks like temps late Tuesday into Wednesday morning made it down at or below freezing in prime cad areas of NC
TW
While a bit warmer than previous runs, surface temps are below freezing for much of the precip in NC Cad areas. Not expecting a big snowstorm for sure, but a big winter storm is still on the table for virtually all of VA and parts of northern and western NC...... where ice could play a major role.
TW
Now back to your regularly scheduled channel.....
From what I could tell, the 18z AI stayed pretty similar. It looked like temps dropped below freezing for western NC (probably from Raleigh west) and maybe getting down in the upstate just a bit. From the freebie maps, I didn't see any big changes.
TW
Keep in mind that the oceans aren't just warmed from above. Hoping some of that record cold arctic air makes its way to the Southeastern US to coincide with some moisture!
TW
The GFS, AI, and the Euro all have the storm - just the GFS is a little further north. So, definitely not on an island. Odds are low as we’ve been here many times, even this winter, and it hasn’t worked out. Worth a watch for now.
TW
Both the Euro and the AI have a major winter Storm for much of NC out around 288-300 hours. Lots of precip with temps in the mid/upper twenties for a fair amount of n and western NC. I don’t think we’re done yet.
TW
Trends over the last 24 hours have been for the cold to be out ahead of the precip rather than being aligned together. The result is far fewer, if any, models showing a major cad storm. Some still show some ice in the mountains and prime cad region, but no longer a major storm. The ingredients are still there, just not quite lining up like a couple of models showed a couple of days ago. Still need to watch this one as I'd expect models to begin to converge on a general outcome by early next week.

The 6z AI just made a major move towards the Euro and GFS. From the 00z run to the 6z run for Saturday night in the triad, we went from precip with temps in the low 40's to precip with lows around freezing. I guess we'll see where things go.
