Going to be in an interesting spot at my house at 2900’ in Black Mountain. I have no idea how we do in these type events since I havent experienced one here. Hoping we can hang on to the snow and get a couple of inches before the sleet. Worried about the freezing rain as well here.

You're going to be in a freaking mess Hunter. Lots and lots of ice. I've seen it.

Can someone help me understand about plumbing/pipes in this situation?  I have water turned off in my condo at the master valve inside my unit.  Assuming power goes out so there's no heat, can pipes still burst?  Should I turn the water off at the master valve and then drain the water by running the sink until there is no water flowing?   I'm not a plumbing expert

You want to open up a faucet at the lowest point to take any pressure out and leave it open after the water is shut off

I'm curious what the disconnect is between the NAM and the GFS on precip. They aren't even in the same ballpark on totals.  That said, I remember a storm from a few years ago that was forecast to be a significant ice storm and the globals wound up way overdoing precip and we wound up with just scattered/spotty showers.

It could happen but do any of us feel good about trusting the GFS any more?

Yeah actually and especially at this range. The gfs does a much better job with flow snow than the Euro. Also with the cold air crashing in after the storm this is a classic setup for back side flow snow and I actually think the gfs is handling the storm at this range better than the euro.
