There are actual definitions for each "level" of severity

WRAL's first forecast with numbers is exactly the 06z Euro.

18z run

Full context:

New hotness just dropped from NWS. Through Sunday morning on these.

3+ inches of sleet on the GFS for like the entire center chunk of NC

Euro Has almost no snow in NC. Even more, is has almost no sleet. It does have 1.5" of zr from the Triangle to VA.

WSWatch from RAH ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Confidence is increasing in widespread snow, sleet, and freezing rain. This may result in moderate to major impacts in infrastructure and transportation. * WHERE...The Piedmont and portions of the central and northern Coastal Plain. * WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Significant ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs may cause widespread and long-lasting power outages.

Ukie clown has 8" in Raleigh at 10:1, but 0.8" on the Kuchera map. That's is a crap ton of sleet the snow map is showing.

UKIE is doing some things...

After the glazing many will receive this weekend, those wind gusts in the wake of the storm are .... problematic. Yikes.

Sleet ratios are what, 3:1 liquid equivalent?

Freezing rain

I'm really curious to see how things play out with whatever falls and our temps not really getting above freezing for days and days...

4+ inches of freezing rain in NE Mississippi!

I'm scared to see the sleet map for this one. ZR is ugly south of the triangle.

This run had zero freezing rain for RDU

What in the world is happening

33” kuchera for gso

This is a monster run

Euro dumps 10" snow here then switches to sleet for like a blink, then to ZR for about .5-.7".

Euro looks even colder. Looks amazing so far.

Canadian dumps like 6" of sleet in the triangle followed by like 0.5" zr. Almost zero snow it would seem.

Canadian still really wants to keep the snow north of the triangle and cover us in sleet.
