This is a pretty insane -NAO signal day 10. This would displace the mean pattern further south eventually. You would think it could lend itself to one of those classic late winter UL bowling ball snowstorms at some point in late February/March if we're lucky.

12z Euro shifts way south this run, I suspect EPS will reflect that as well. Still rain for most but CLT went from 58 at 6z to lower 40s this run. Continue to lead with ens at this point bc ops are still out there when they shift like this over a 6 hr period lol. 

Well then, let's see if we can trend this into a winter storm.

I like the sounds of that! Let's have a little March 1st 09 bowling ball roll through!

I am sorry, I forgot that was a sore one for you! It's all fun and games until your neighbor gets 8-10" and you're looking a the bare ground. I will not mention it again!

Verbatim, 12z UKMET was a nasty ice storm for Ashe, Watauga, Avery and Allegheny counties.

That was a good storm.  To make it a little better, maybe this time the bowling ball can be a ball of ICE!  LETS GO!
