The used the same for everyone in the WSW even over to the foothills. * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow accumulations of 1 to 5 inches along with a light glaze of ice possible. * WHERE...Much of the mountains, northern foothills, and northwest Piedmont of North Carolina. * WHEN...From Thursday evening through Friday evening. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the Friday morning commute. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Downtown is such an odd place sometimes but I do think this setup favors snowfall for downtown. At least to get something decent. I would much rather go with the NAM personally but its nice to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
