His disco was definitely on point, but I don't think I'd go with 4"-6" here, either. If he hits on his forecast in this area, then he's a BOSS! LOL

Haha bud, 1-2 max. If I bust; Damn the bad luck. Crankycrackcrackheadweatherguy can troll me forever.

I'm just not as good w/ SC snowfall haha, it helps when you've analyzed 800+ historical storms for NC...

Good point. That is how I feel around here. I feel like I am doing a disservice to areas in MS/AL/GA/TN/NC when I constantly post about the South Carolina area; but I really do not know enough to speak accurately about those areas.

I know when it's going to "snow" but not anything to guessing the parameters and climo to various mesoscale events happening that way.
 
Probably seeing the heaviest snow of the night here right now. When it first started, we had bigger flakes though. I realize with these small flakes it takes a lot to get any good accumulations. Even with temps near 20, still not seeing fast accumulations due to the small flake size.

I'm just going to take his blue contour and extend it down through the upstate. It etter verify, too

His blue contour is expecting a different precipitation amount though, at least remove 1/3 from it.

Due to wetter snow. When temps are above freezing, the snowflakes sticks to each other due to them being wet thus producing larger snowflakes. As ratios continue to improve, the snowflakes will get finer and finer. This won't be snow you can make a snowman or snowball with.
 
snow grains like you guys are seeing in the colder zones will accumulate quickly because you dont have to worry about latent heat release with merging flakes as they hit the ground. the south is used to wet, boring , crappy flakes.

You guys are good. In fact, that is how you get higher ratios! :)

Yea. Just seems like the small flakes take forever to add up though lol.

Odd because it seems like the opposite so far lol. But, maybe that will change.
