Yeah the usual NW trend really screwed us over. The HRRR and NAM are interesting enough to keep watching in the very slim chance this overperforms -- but no reason to expect more than an inch of snow (and extra sleet) in the southern half of Wake given the issues you outlined, imo.

These winter storm systems rarely rarely overperform. It's funny. After these types of storms are over, more often than not, people are complaining that they were dryslotted or precip. ended much earlier then modeled.

It's just amazing how we can get so much precip. in the winter(December - Feb averages over 12 inches here in the Atlanta area), yet the occurance of a snowstorm actually giving you big numbers(12+ inches) is so incredibly, incredibly rare....in fact, it's not happened once in Atlanta in the last 100 years.

Seriously, this might be the worst storm yet over the last 5 years when it comes to teasing me about a good snow, then having nothing but a 33 degree cold rain. At least the other ones had sleet or freezing rain mixed in. That being said, not nearly as dissapointed because I had a huge reality check last night when the 0z Euro came in and it agreed with the NAM and RGEM. Just 24 hours ago, 100% of GEFS members had me getting at least 3 inches...I'm not even sure if I'll get a dusting at the very end.

Note to Self in the future: When the Euro and NAM agree, lock that solution in.

Honestly, didn't some SC folks get a rare November snow in 2015?

As irritated as I am with this damn cold rain in Wake County I am happy for the posters in Atlanta, NW GA and NW SC.  They always seem to get left out of the fun so I'm glad they are finally getting some snow.  That being said, posters in the Triad need to stop being so dang greedy with their snow!  Heck, I'd be thrilled with a sleet pellet right now!

Atlanta is not really getting snow though. I certainly am not. So frustrating. Every year a storm teases me to get 3+ inches and I end up with mostly rain/ice/sleet with snow on the back edge that just barely covers the yard and that's it. Even during the 2014 Atlanta snowjam, my area was no more than an inch of snow/sleet and ice. I guess this is nature's way of getting back at me for having 3 stellar winters in a row(2009-2011). It's trying to make this entire decade a dud for my area.
