Why is everyone panicking about the cold? It's not supposed to get here until tomorrow morning.

Seriously?

The warm air seems to stick around longer than expected on the surface.  The same way freezing temps stick around longer than expected.

Down to 38.9 here

Cold front looks to me to be moving at forecast speed, and maybe a little quicker in S TN/N AL based on dew point. Temps here (Belmont, NC - just W of CLT) are running 1-2°F warmer than what was forecast for right now, but that's mostly noise I'd say. Not expecting much of anything here, but the eastern Piedmont/coastal plain at least has a much better chance (Triangle -> SE to 95).

Been getting moderate snow here. Ground is white.

HRRR changes tune tonight and says maybe snow will accumulate in the NC Piedmont after all

Ya'll, Larry, Metal and the friends I have in the area are the exact reasons this is pinned, and I am hoping for the absolute best outcome for everyone down there

No doubt.  If anyone deserves a storm or at least some flakes to get out and walk in, its Larry with all the work he puts into other people's storms.  Also sending hope to everyone else down there.  Growing up in Middle GA was brutal when it seemed like every snow map on WMAZ showed snow ATL and above.   (except for '73 of course ahem)

 Thanks, Michelle and Tim. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, those many runs of especially the King suite ended up just being imaginary for this and other parts of SE GA. The typical NW correction was delayed on that model, but reality finally took over, which is consistent with the very tough SE GA climo. That also takes out Metal’s hometown of Waycross. We were never going to get snow. It’s just that the models, especially King, weren’t smart enough to tell us that too far in advance.

 I’m also pulling especially for the middle GA folks like Shack that rarely get any. I’m hoping that it will stick not too far west of here (say, Metter to Vidalia area), which would mean a worthwhile 1-1.5 hour Sunday afternoon drive to see it on the ground. But with so much NW trend, I’m thinking the closest sticking may be further west. We’ll see!

 Good luck, all!

Yes. For my area it wasn't supposed to switch from rain to snow until around 2 or 3 am. I'm expecting white rain though with the warm ground.

NAM 3k was a solid 2-3” stripe from SE GA through central NC

12k NAM is beautiful for same areas. It actually starts to crank a coastal. 2-4” se GA through central NC
