Ug.  I live in SE Wake, and there's about 21 miles between me and the airport.  South is not usually the winner between the two.

I live even further south than you now! RDU gets it good this run, I get maybe 0.5-1" out of this at school.

That's right, I forgot that you were down there.  Hey, but you know what, I'll take an inch.  If you'd have told me a couple of days ago that we could squeeze an inch out of this one, I'd have taken it and ran.  I still will. :)

Easy folks...this is by far the northern most model with all of this....Kick back and Chillax and watch the models...

it is, but it's been fairly consistent today as compared to other modeling (last 3 runs).  Seems to be centering on the southern apps.  It's not like we are 84 hours away anymore.  It will be interesting to see this play out and how close the NAM will be to actual.  Thanks for posting your knowledge on this board for us amateurs to see.....

Depending on how a system rolls through this is this is the case. I feel like this system will leave the lee areas looking around for fun.. But do not quote me on it..

Either way, shapeing up for a good clip to rock some folks !

That snowmap is a nightmare for us in McDowell... Snow to the West.. Snow to the East, but it is quite common for a deformation band to fizzle out here on the lee side with strong downsloping winds.

Sure, but the MUCH more reliable models (GFS and EURO) have not even been that close to moving that far north and until they do...I wouldn't bite on the NAM

I think this is a little too far North and East and will correct with the next run. Looks like the northern counties of NC will get hit the hardest from 95 to 77 and basically 40 north. If the low slows down a bit, could be a very good event for NC and southernmost Va. IMO

 

Edit** Also meant to include the mountains with the normal elevation enhancements

Asheville is snow after hour 45...question is how much qpf is left?

 

Looks like a huge difference for snowfall in Buncombe county if you take it verbatim. Down by the airport hardly any then the very northern fringes are painted with 7". Anything over at or over 3" would be a joy for me.

Any thoughts on northern central NC / south central VA (northern Person, Granville counties in NC and Halifax county in VA?) -- Roxboro, South Boston, Clarksville?

 

Thanks everyone...

 

 

SW VA and S VA get a good thump of snow from 45-54hrs if taken verbatim. Soundings from those areas are below freezing all the way up.  Seems to be trending slightly north each run so far.

Agreed. The NAM is going to have to score a victory here.................. but it's happened before and ULL's are a tricky animal to figure out (even while it's unfolding directly over your head)
