Classic north of I-40 storm.  Car topper for most.  At least it's something!

Can a mod pin this?

I am planning on going up to southern VA for this one. This is definitely their system more than ours.

My other option is the Hanging Rock area north of Winston-Salem.

I’d go to @BornAgain13 backyard that looks like a good spot

Born Again is down by Danville. I think he does pretty well but Smith Mountain over to Roanoke looks like a pretty sweet spot to be. I’m like right on 81 just south of Roanoke myself.

yeah I am leaning more in the Danville direction for now. Worst case is I get wrecked on slots at Caesars.

I would say north of Danville. More like Lynchburg.

Come on--just 50 miles south...

Dewpoints actual vs HRRR at 3 pm:

GSO -10

CLT -1

RAH -9

ROA -0

 

This tells me the warm front to the south has not advanced as far north as modeled. If this continues I would expect the rain/snow line as well as the heavier rates to shift south, although too early too have any confidence in this scenario based on OBS

I've got the snowboard ready. I'm expecting 2 to 3 inches here along the NC/VA border in Rockingham County.
