have you ever been to Fayetteville? Its a dirty military base town that unless you are in the military or work around the military its a no-go zone.

Their outer loop I-295 was just completed so there’s that.

Wral just showed their Barron model and it is much snowier. They said it performed well with the last system.

Snowier across the board?

I missed that. Can you describe what thy said ?

The “blank canvas” we‘re still operating with going into this snowstorm in Winston-Salem. May be hard to measure!

The RAP dry slot can be seen here. Im not sure I would really buy into that not being moist enough for snow growth. Not sure why there’s that tiny dry pocket either. Maybe a Met could explain better than me. I think the HRRR likely has something similar going on.

Ok, I would take that right now for all of SC, But don’t let what is showing in the Triad happen. They deserve in on the action.

Same here, I'd take those few inches of snow for me and run at this point.

[Roger Smith]

Here's how I would expect this to play out, first an interval of light to moderate snow mostly inland NC-SC-ne GA as the 500 mb low begins to deepen over GA, then an interval of heavy bands of snow along the Carolina coasts from roughly New Bern to Savannah, possibly two parallel bands with local snow maxima of 12-18 inches. Ongoing lighter snow further inland brings totals to about 6 inches. Southeast VA and northeast NC have more uncertainty, they could have an interval of blizzard like heavy snow, or the coastal may pull away too far south and too fast to give them more than 3-5 inches. Temperatures in the low to mid 20s during this snow, a few bands in eastern GA with slightly higher temps could see hail mixed with snow. Looks increasingly likely that some local bands of 0.5 to 1.0 inch snow could fall in n/c FL also. There are a lot of small to medium sized lakes there to enhance shower clouds, and temperatures by late Saturday will be below freezing as far south as Tampa to Space Center and low to mid 40s in s FL. Crazy man!

Old information.  Fayetteville will probably never get over some of it's past reputation, but it is nothing like it used to be.

Yep

Put a piece of wood or cardboard down somewhere (if you really care about getting a perfect measurement)

I’m in Dunwoody and hoping for 2-3 inches

This is the RAP sounding for RDU when it’s showing the dry slot over the area. RH in the dendritic growth zone is 88%. Should be big dendrites as well. Omega is a little low but should be sufficient for snow. I think this is why the dry slots are over modeled.

I’m in Winder and looking like 2-4”

Where are you in relation to the mall?

[Aleksey]

There are quite a few people from GA in here - a lot of us just don’t talk much until something happens lol

Where are you located?

Just down the road from you in Laurens County (Clinton). For once it looks like it may pay off to be on this side of the Upstate

I know where you're at. Im about an hr and a half due north of you in NC. Amazing the difference in climate in such a short distance
