For anyone considering chasing keep in mind some of the towns in western NC have a pretty severe shadow effect from the 6,000 ft mountains. Asheville is not a great spot for big snow totals. Boone has a much better climo for big storms. However, if this keeps trending south they COULD be on the northern edge of where the best snowfall occurs. I am less familiar with the climo of the specific towns further south in NC but I know once you get south of Mt. Mitchell there are some pretty extreme snowshadow effect areas.
