even turns the mtns over to freezing rain.

Is it just me or is this more of a miller a this run with the low getting shunted south and east instead of transferring?

Upper level and low looks great. Sfc p-type see the warm layer very well.

850's really crash at hr 36 for you.

Yeah it's quicker getting the midlevel warmth out as the primary is south and the secondary ramps up.  A solid trend to the euro and gefs

Oh, well that's a bummer. Seems like a lot would have to happen for this area to be snow instead of IP and ZR.

Face it, it's not going to happen here or there. Icy mess for the upstate at best or wrose dending on how your look at it. Some will get a nice back side snow after the mess. Some will get the lee side screw! Most likely nw gville and Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union get the transfer snow.

Yes sir! I think the models, and the NWS offices are under-estimating that RH fields, the cold punch at 5k...etc....That will be very fun to watch...Get ready sir, y'all are gonna get hit hard with ICE IMHO

Just saw the 6z NAM is giving all of SC back end snow except over my head with a green blip in the center of that heavier reflectivity in Dorchester County lol.

The occlusion looks very reminiscent of the JAN 2000 wraparound where I scored a couple of inches.

RDU goes above freezing after 36 hours, after which there is a period of rain.

It's so close. The maps look to keep RDU at or below freezing for the whole event; but these are maps..

I think with the strength of this system too much warm air gets pulled into the column for us to be all snow......very seldom works out that way in the upstate regardless of what the models are depicting.
