“"Snow" totals have declined by
a few inches over the northern GA/SC zones and in the more western
 NC mtns, as more of the QPF is now expected to fall as sleet.”  From GSP...what???

What gets me is that Charlotte is still sitting at 10 inches....

WSW up - WTF at the below... 1-8 inches. I need a beer, ASAP. 

 


* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow and sleet
  accumulations of 1 to 8 inches are possible. Ice accumulations
  up to two tenths of an inch are also possible.

and they gave no nod to the FV3 (which has liquid to > 2").

When the Euro is showing 20-30 inches less than 48 hours out... I listen. 

Edit: Sorry, just really annoyed that the triad mentions getting 10 inches and we... well, lol. 

* WHAT...Significant accumulations of snow combined with sleet and
  freezing rain is expected. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8
  inches combined with ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an
  inch are possible. The greatest snow amounts are likely to be in
  the Triad, where amounts could approach 10 inches.

Really not liking how long it takes precip to get to the northern mountains, may be able to make breakfast Sunday morning before it starts.

Yeah. We always have to wait when systems come in from the south and southwest. Sometimes it seems like forever for it to start. But the SW mountains cut off before we do so I guess it works out in the end. I remember last Dec. storm, Rainforest had about three inches before I had my first flake. Me and you were getting pissed.

We might get some snow but the idea of this being a "generational" event is ridiculous. But since I'm old enough to cover several generations I might be expecting too much.

I don't want to even think about last year I was so mad. Lol idk what to think anymore about this storm, everything was consistent for a week and now it's getting wild.

They said they're expecting sleet to cut our totals.

And ice. From the WSW...

  up to two tenths of an inch are also possible.

 

The most I see on that map in WNC is .05

I have to say, in my 30+ years of tracking storms here in WNC, this one really has me baffled and apparently the the NWS as well. To see the two snow total maps they have put out today is just stunning. I have a lot of respect for the folks at GSP and they know a heck of a lot more than I do weather wise, but I’m really perplexed by the this evenings maps and warnings.

Still have a hard time believing that some areas of the Piedmont smoke the mountains in snow totals out of this system. Time will tell.
