I'm at 39 in N. Iredell county (about five minutes north of Statesville up 77). Good and cloudy but no precip. I can't wait for my kids to wake up in the morning. And, from a LONG TIME lurker, thanks to all you guys for your work here. I really enjoy reading the threads and learning.

Always good to hear from nearby folks.. I'm in Mooresville (grew up in Statesville)

Currently 39.2/28 DP

Raging virga storm continues in Mooresville. Patiently waiting on something to fall from the sky

Same... quite an intense virga storm.  Currently 39.3/28.9

Still dry here in Mooresville. Eagerly waiting on my cold rain/sleet/zr.

I'd prefer a thin layer of sleet at first.. it's a good foundation for the mountain of snow.

Back to more sleet now 33/33, Please don't tell me I'll be holding the front lines here

Always thought it was you who kept me all snow during last January's storm.

Last post got deleted (not sure why) in Winter Storm thread, so I'll try here instead. The FV3 has been all the rage this week; I haven't viewed any updated map from it since this morning. What's the latest? It's been consistent all week. 

we're in short term/now-casting.  FV3 is a medium range model.

You need to practice your jeb walks

Hope to see the lurkers who post obs only during snowstorms.. like that guy Earnest with the wolf avatar up in Statesville!

Wow im waiting on you and clint eastwood obs. Ready to get started and im behind yall in line

Yep I follow him closely too.. he always beats me out on rain and snow totals even though he's only a few miles NE of me.  LOL.  

700mb temps on the HRRR have never been an issue... mostly closer to the 850mb level during the day tomorrow for the I-85/US-74 corridor on east...

Trucks have a slushy trace of sleet starting to accumulate on them.  I tend to like a little sleet base, helps snow stick faster/better so sleet to snow Might actually  be best for my area of CLT lol

Agreed!!

Hi-res NAM has all snow for RDU. Battle line for ice is right at CLT and along I-85. 

As it usually is

18z HRRR :  Thru noon Sunday.. 12" line up to I-77, N of 85

Oh I know what it shows...just with thickness right on the line and that heavy of precip I don't buy it...but I guess if you buy one part you gotta buy the car on these modesl haha. 

Yes, it's definitely close.  I don't think we're going to know until we're right at the start.

I have a hard time buying that in the the heart of the storm on the NAM Hi-Res that isn't snow in Charlotte. 

See the 700mb temp maps.  

NAM colder at surface but really gung ho on a 700mb warm nose this run.   HRRR says nope, however.

Well, the 12z NAM is looking better for CLT to RDU
