No, to the Icon, Ukie, and Canadian (for its last 2 or 3 runs.)

Last 4 gfs runs. Keep an eye on the system north of the Dakotas and how the closer it gets, the further east our storm goes

Gotta get home! They don't plow snow down there very well. Lol

This place is nice and a shorter trip by an hour +. It's got a decent restaurant for hotel food, including a great breakfast buffet, and close (within walking distance) to other restaurants too. https://hiltongardeninn.bookonline.com/hotel/hilton-garden-inn-outer-banks-kitty-hawk?id2=127615453378&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=14388994732&gbraid=0AAAAABov2PZhb7oN0KEuhIv9VsotO2Q5Q&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhOfLBhCCARIsAJPiopPfC_Fxoni12uQ9_oO7O_MVFtOK11mhIAuqbrNFfuKtEo8LUyZhQ48aAmUpEALw_wcB

In northern AA County, every once and a while little would would start to fall steadily, then dwindle to flurries, only to rub salt in the wound.

And therein lies the rub.

For those of us west of the Bay, Boxing day was even closer than what is depicted here.

Fwiw, if you compare 0z Nam to 6z, you can see that it took has taken on the precip shield as Gfs and Euro at 84hrs vs the "headed north" look of 0z.
