The Euro may very well be right for the mountains but I don't believe the moisture gets shut off east of there as modeled... especially since the NAM was doing the same thing and came around and filled in today 

I tend to agree. It’s not like we have some mammoth 1046 HP up in Upstate NY. I will just continue to pray the Canadian and the Para GFS are correct. Wouldn’t want to be @Disc in this predicament. Anywhere from dusting to 6” here ouch lol. NC mountains almost a lock to get smoked!

We can ignore the part about the v16 only being run once a day as it is now available on sites 4 times a day.  Anyway, for those who don't know, Philippe used to post in here out of Greenville, SC as @phil882 and he is now a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
233 PM EST Wed Jan 6 2021

...WINTER STORM EXPECTED TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...

.A storm system moving from the Deep South through the coastal
plain of Georgia and South Carolina will spread precipitation into
western North Carolina from late Thursday evening through Friday
morning before tapering off Friday afternoon. Sufficient cold air
will be in place such that mostly snow is expected across the
mountains, with the exception of the lower valleys of southwest
North Carolina. While precipitation is expected to initially fall
as rain across the foothills and northwest Piedmont, a cooling
atmosphere is expected to support a transition to snow Friday
morning, roughly along and north of I-40. Heavy snow accumulations
will be possible in these areas before the precipitation tapers
off, or changes back to rain Friday afternoon. While rain and snow
are expected to be the main precipitation types, a brief period of
sleet or freezing rain will be possible, especially from the Blue
Ridge escarpment through the northwest Piedmont, but any sleet or
ice accumulations are expected to be minor.
