From 12z:

Euro/GFS/NAVGEM like our storm

UKMET/CMC/JMA don't like it

Hard to really go in without the UKMET.  I think to me a positive though is that the GFS and EURO agree with their ensembles and seem to be trending in the right direction/better as we get closer in as opposed to worse.  Hopefully the ukmet catches on soon.  If it does and tomorrow at 12z we're still looking good, I may just buy into this, as odd as it seems to me.

With analogs, there are likely a ton that have ended as failed events.  But in terms of waves that have dropped down sharply out of Saskatchewan or Manitoba in successful events, here's a list (a couple already mentioned):
Jan 16, 1965: GSP 6.0, CLT 10.2, AVL 5.5, HKY 12.7, GSO 5.5, RDU 5.8
Feb 6, 1984: NC map was posted.  GSP 0.6
Feb 23, 1989: GSP 2.5, CLT 3.5, GSO 4.5, RDU 4.9.  Huge snow for NE NC (Greenville to Eliz City)
Jan 23, 2003: NC map was posted.  GSP 3.0
Jan 20, 2009: GSP T, RDU 3-7, GSO 0.5-2, CLT T, FAY 3-4, PGV 4

You sure that February 1989 date is correct? There was a storm the 17-18, but nothing on the 23rd that year.

There were actually 2 storms in Feb 1989.  One on 2/17 and another on 2/23

For the 2 storms:

Norfolk: 14.8 / 9.0

Edenton, NC:  6.0 / 10.0

Greenville, NC: Data Missing / 11.0

Gatesville, NC had 18.0 in the 2/23 storm

Data is missing for Elizabeth City for Feb 1989 in my searches

This paper has a map of the Feb 23-25, 1989 snow totals on page "27" (in cm): http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/1520-0434(1995)010<0021%3AWWFTTE>2.0.CO%3B2

NCSU Climate database doesn't show anything for the 23rd in Elizabeth City and the 17th doesn't show any data there either. That's odd. Sorry to question your findings.

No worries here...it's hard to make me mad

Does DT mean "Friday" instead of "Thursday", or was that from yesterday? lol either way, thanks for posting. 
Who knows. I swear, trying to read his thoughts and interpretations with the misspellings gives me irritating rectal itch, along with a sinus headache. It's almost like he gave a squirrel amphetamines and let it type away on his keyboard sometimes.

Yeah not as good a run for western areas, but can't complain at this point. See you for 0Z. 

I definitely want the bullseye on Raleigh this far out.

DT never fails to be amusing I'll give him that. Not 50% or 60% but precisely 55%. I mean I'm sure he has some silly reason like 55% of ensemble members have it or something but, uhh, it doesn't work like that.

18Z is more of what I'd think would happen with a northern stream, last minute blooming storm....eastern NC special.  I need to see the trends continue SW to get me comfortable with this thing.

Only in his twisted mind is there logic for that. He wouldn't even be able to properly explain it to one of us.
