While the NAM precip is obviously overdone (when I still lived in N.C. I remember a NAM QPF forecast being overdone by a factor of 3 for one storm), the most interesting thing to me is that it still has high pressure over N. England at 84 hours with north winds over N.C. If that's accurately depicted ....

I would agree with overdone here too if Euro, and GFS weren't as close to what the NAM is projecting.

Wonder if any of that is ice/sleet in Georgia/SC..Waiting game in my neck of the woods..Hopefully the trends stay the same but i need a little N/W shift..

I would say some of that is sleet/ice. WeatherBell maps includes all frozen precip types as snow. I'm sure other sites do about the same thing with a few tweaks to the algorithm here or there. I would rather be needing a NW shift instead of a SE one.

12Z GFS much drier solution without extended backside low snows...

Yeah, it was pretty "meh" compared to what we have been looking at. Hoping the same tendency to lose the system in the 3-5 is at play here, but if be lying if I said it didn't give me pause this close to the event.

That said, till the GEFS, GGEM. EURO, and UKMET all come in with less I would pretty much toss it.

Yep came in as just a slider...  Even with just a slider we all get nice snows across the entire region 3-6 totals seem reasonable for most everyone, not a bad storm even as a slider for a pretty terrible winter.  I guess beggers can't be choosers, but I do see MRX has a very difficult forecast.  If it turns the corner and cranks then totals go way up for the eastern 2/3 of the region.

Yep, Robert is on board with a fairly major event, with the storm picking up the SW low really well. He has some info on his Facebook page. I'm ready for some winter!!

Yes, I believe inlast night's post he mentioned "Tennesse" and " hammered" in the same sentence. :) North AL should do okay with 2-4 and maybe some ice (yuk).

I would love to see it grab the baja low and crank out with rapid deepening up through the carolinas.  Thats what I think the NAM was just starting to grab on to at the end of its run.  There is talk that until we get nearly on top of the storm we won't know as sampling of the baja area is next to nothing.
