    As with most events we talk a lot about populated areas (because its where we live) but who wants to throw down where you think the highest totals will be (factor in backend NW flow snow)? 

    I'm liking the southern end of the Great Balsams but also could see Mt LeConte push past everyone with their last minute light accumulations Sunday morning. 

    Highlands through Glenville up into little Canada around 281.

    Been thinking the same myself. Seems like an outlier, but I also know it's history with sniffing out warm noses and after that last bust in January it certainly shakes the confidence a bit.

    But 850 Temps stay well below freezing for most of the event. You always see that erode quickly with a true warm nose

    Why do you say that? At least in central NC it’s pretty typical.

    That's not how it works here in the southern mtns. When we have a warm nose it pokes it's head in from 850-750.  850 Temps are well below freezing and stay that way until the end. This is why we mostly always do rain or snow and very little freezing rain here.  Speaking specifically for my area.

    3km NAM came back in more aggressive with the warm nose than it did at 06z. Ton of QPF went to sleet that run. Again pretty high up there cause the 850s and 925s are well below freezing til bulk of the precip is basically gone.

    That warm nose as modeled on the nam is hard to believe

    I actually think it’s my pilot igniter assembly. I’ve purged per directions and can hear/smell gas while trying to light it and will occasionally get a spark but it’s not consistent in doing so.  Just need to bite the bullet and have them come service them as it does give us back up heat if we lose power or the heat pump stops working like the other week (dang fuse I didn’t even know existed on the handler unit popped).

    If you have an air compressor try blowing the logs and ignitor off really good.
