It’s a tough call.  After 03-04Z it’s all snow for sure but prior to that it could waffle.  I’m having a tough time forecasting it.  I do think the band that almost all models show rotating through 04-12Z may have surprise amounts with it though 

I like it when you talk dirty to us! My whole life i've never lucked out on a stationary backside band. It seems those almost always park over a small area dump and way more snow than forecasted. Hoping my name is drawn out of the hat this time.

Absolutely ripping fatties here right now as well...starting to add up!

I'm a mile north of 73...sleet here....CC radar is trying to work south but it's a struggle....thinking it's going to be a struggle into the overnight, but we'll see

I'm right near 73 and have sleet with a rain mix right now. Looks like the warm nose might win this one tonight.

Sweet that should be a fantastic location. I saw gsp’s update a little while ago and was dubious. Not so much now. The snow intensity and long lasting nature is freaking awesome 

Yeah I think it's safe to say the band is going to produce and then some for us. David chandley on fox 5 is actually forecasting 3 to 5 inches more...and made mention of additional 7 or 8. That would put some over a foot. 

This is easily one of the top snows but when you consider how early in the year it is, it's really historic for some locals.

That’s for sure. In January this is a doozy. But in early dec - and WAY overperforming for a change - is shocking lol. Closing in on 4” here. If we get another 2 overnight this is the biggest snowstorm here in quite a few years

From latest GSP discussion:

As of 430 PM EST Friday: Because of complications in how the
ProbSnow grids work, had to make some adjustments to the storm
totals and they now begin at 00z tonight...so the storm total accum
on our website will be *in addition to* what`s already fallen. Some
concern about some of the Upstate and NC Piedmont Counties that are
in the Advisory, if they need to be upgraded to warning. Not enough
information to do that at this time but if reports continue to pile
up may need to jump on that sometime this evening. The heavier bands
that moved through the Upstate this afternoon have pushed E, but
additional banding will continue off and on through the evening.

So waiting to issue a warning after warning criteria is met? Is that really forecasting?

I'm hopeful the setting sun his helping the atmosphere stabilize. I don't think it's a coincidence that my area went back to snow as the sun went down. Should push the line 10-20 miles further to the southeast imo

John Cessarich just confirmed that this is indeed occurring. Once the sun went down, the r/s line sank south.

Tough position for GSP to be in for sure.  One issue are large counties where one side is covered with snow while the other is mostly rain.  No win sit for them.
