Whoever wrote the afternoon GSP disco was quite the buzzkill. Ugh! Nada (except some token wet flakes) outside the mountains, and a sloppy 3-4 inches in the mountains. (From the tone of it, I think they enjoyed squashing our dreams too.)

Could be the same person that said we would get a dusting to a inch on December 8th.  Well we had a foot of snow the next day.  Sooooooooo, here we go!

Yep. They got the proverbial egg in face on that one. We all know the climo caveats that apply to this mid March last gasp and everyone has there expectations in check. This will be a nice winter storm in the northern mtns, no doubt. Espeacilly up top.

Looks like most of NC gets in on the snow too 

There's no way that much of NC gets snow out of this storm especially SE of RDU. The 3K NAM has done a good job this winter but I think it's off it's rocker tonight. There's just not enough cold air available for it to work with.

Well it gone to a day time event now Monday, So the GFS turns what snow I may get back over to rain once the down-sloping begins!! That's why it's shows that hole in the foothills.... NO accumulations for the foothills!!! Needed a night time event. 

Come on Frosty. You always end up shoveling snow.;)

All signs point in relative terms to a pretty major event for southern and central VA late tomorrow evening and a good part of the day on Monday. I am really hoping this one overperforms for us here and also gets some others in the action. This storm is one of those that we haven’t seen in some time, whereas dynamics and multiple players on the board are wreaking havoc with being able to iron out a definitive solution. There has been a ton of lightning with the LP around Arkansas. Just goes to show you the dynamics that are in play. Talk to everyone soon!

I think it's going to be a lot of rain and snow not sticking.  We'll see.

For Virginia it reminds me of the late March 2013 storm. I was in Roanoke and it rained hard for a day followed by several inches of very slushy snow. It snowed all across the state to about Williamsburg.

well very disappointed this morning, hoping I would wake up to at least a winter weather advisory but it looks like it doesn't have enough cold air, was hoping for a miracle during the night, at least I was hoping it would generate it's own cold air or something.  Oh well, it was a good try, come on spring I reckon.

I just noticed Buncombe County is in the wwa buuuuutttt for 3500 feet and above, I'm at 2100 feet, maybe I'll see a few flakes tomorrow if it breaks containment of which GSP says they'll be watching the models closely today to see if they need to expand the wwa to other areas.  GSP really admits they don't know what this is going to do there is so much going on,  even the time change they say doesn't help.  We'll see later on I guess.

I think this is one of those that really overperforms up my way. Going to be a nice deformation band swinging through. That will trump borderline temps and will accumulate for sure. Best part is this is one of those storms where everything will melt quickly post storm. I’m thinking higher end for ROA/BBurg area 5-8 or even 6-10 if the fatties are ripping.

Yep I'll also hope the deformation band swings thru Asheville, of which at one time there was talk the deformation band was going to swing thru the Asheville area that would help with a little more snow for the area.

RAH  NWS does a great job explaining in their morning discussion.    Says the best chance for us is afternoon/evening as the secondary low pops and cold air moves in.  They mention cooling due to melting and other thermodynamic processes which could cause the temperature to briefly hit 32 and cause minor accumulations, but nothing too serious.  Also threat of black ice overnight though winds and drying after precip could mitigate that.
