Verbatim it's a lot of rain...then a switch to a mixed bag of IP/ZR...then a switch over to heavy snow. As Brandon said though given the energy aloft and the CAD should switch over a lot sooner. If the Euro is correct with it's depiction and QPF well CLT and points around it should get in on that 8 - 12 range you would think. 

This storm has the potential for a lot of busts in general. I don't like the whole "the dynamics will take care of things" argument but that is a wicked amount of vorticty at 5H. Reminds me slightly of the Halloween storm that produced snow in Columbia in 2014.

Ok with there being 2 different storms this week, I'm a little confused about how much of that snow comes from the Wed system vs the Fri system. I'm assuming the snow in GA, TN, KY is mostly Wednesday but I know nobody in here really talks about those states so I will just assume I'm correct.

I'm not sure how much of the snow is from Wednesday in Tennessee. But it appears the Euro downslopes the Eastern Tennessee valley on that run but a deformation band sits over that 8-10 inch area of the Cumberland Plateau/Eastern highland rim and it dumps about 1/2-3/4ths of an inch of qpf as snow.

 

By looking at it, some people are going to see amazing snowfall rates if it comes to pass. We're talking 2+ inch per hour rates.
