Somewhere along that I-85 corridor west of Charlotte is going to get smacked. Almost every model is showing a stout deform band setting up in that area. Shelby might end up being a sweet spot for more than just high school football.

Im 26 mins west of Shelby so...

I think the Christmas storm had a clean phase and went up the coast bombing out somewhat. 

Christmas storm snowed all the way to beach. New Bern had like 6 inches.

And Virginia Beach had 16.

Christmas storm was a full classic phase that the models caught very last minute. Def tops on the list of great storms in hky for me.

All the models seem to have at least 2 inches for Raleigh north.

Here we are less than 48 hours away and these maps are all over the place!

Once again right on that South Charlotte line…

[HKY_WX]

Late phase on the euro. Too late to benefit for Eastern nc.

Nothing is a lock on the east coast unless you live in the Buffalo Southtowns or Tug Hill

I agree Brick. Great post.

Noticing northern AL went from 4.9 to 7.9 inches on the Euro in just today’s runs. Hope this is foreboding of our forthcoming trend as well.

Raleigh upped by a inch:

Anyone ever see a forecast like this and wonder, “what in the world”?

Friday Night

Snow, freezing rain, and sleet before 2am, then snow likely between 2am and 3am, then a chance of freezing rain after 3am. Low around 28. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

Interesting that Wakefield is going more aggressive than RAH when all the models show more for RAH district

[Cheeznado]

0Z HRRR trending warmer, surface low farther north. Not good.

EDIT: still gives us 2" of snow/sleet however, Evap cooling doing its work (I hope).

Thanks to those wishing me a good sleet storm.  I have the moles in a sleet thrum, I'm doing a sleet dance...not something anyone wants to see, and I'm pulling this one in big time, lol.  To those that don't know, my first big thrill storm was pure sleet back in 60, I think Larry and I worked out.  The clouds lowered to the roof tops as I wait by the car to ride to school....never saw clouds that low except when crossing Mont Eagle,  and then whoof, a ton of sleet just  fell all at once.  It was roaring and at least an inch..surely more.. fell in a few minutes.  I was a crossing guard at the bottom of a huge hill, at Inman school, for those in Atl, and I was walking the kiddies across the street while cars came down it like bumper cars, lol.  We hide behind a wall until the latest fool slid into the curb and I'd run them across, then wait for the next chance.  It was fabulous....beyond amazing.. I was in paradise and ever since, going on 65 years I guess, it's been my favorite ever.  Way better than snow.  Sleet is pure joy to me, and I'd trade 8 inches of pretty but worthless snow, for an inch of sleety concrete every time.  So, yeah, I'm a sicko, but we all have our little proclivities...

Tony, You may not remember this but the great 4” Atlanta sleetstorm of 2/18/79 was originally supposed to have much more snow. The snow lasted only for a short time at the start (not much more than an hour, if even that) in the evening before changing to sleet much earlier than expected and lasting for the rest (nearly 24 hours)! Snow remained further to the north. This late became the President’s Day snowstorm in the NE US.

Well that’s certainly one way to get more moisture here
