Oh the horror of that map!  

I was in like Flynn for a solid foot or at least 8-10" of snow even if it shifted one way or the other a small bit.  

Alas, ended with only a couple of sleety/pellet-esque inches.  What made this one really bad is we had a good 72hrs of <32 temps to follow for preservation.

I remember someone jumping on the thread very late Thursday telling us the NAM was basically calling bullocks on the other models for location and amounts

I don't remember any model predicting that much rain...if we had received all sleet and 1" of snow I would have been ecstatic.  When you look at that Euro map 24 hours nobody would have predicted that much rain.

I said it back when that threat was just showing up: Always go with the warmest/driest model -- the one that shows the least snow.  I'm going to follow that rule to the letter this year!

It was never 90% rain...predominately sleet with some snow.

Here was what transpired...first time looking at it.

Charlotte busted pretty bad too. We did well in Lake Norman and further N&W. Grit and myself rode the sleet line for quite a while.

Yes, yes we did. Cold was not entrenched as modeled. I'm not bitter though, you, wow, and grit cashed in. 85 corridor is where doves cry.
