AI GFS has two storms.
GFS kicking off precip a bit earlier further east, generally a touch more robust. No major swings thus far:

ICON and GFS are lockstep....
This shift south is completely expected at this range, I expect it to go moreso, but as we get closer places will have plenty of precip, even if it starts to dry out on these next few runs

These south trends is why I wasn’t convinced at least the 85 corridor wasn’t going to get significant snow
Feels like it’s gonna be tough to get snow in Atlanta with this setup but the GFS is here to challenge that idea 
It's gonna do it again for many places that did well at 12z. No major changes, a southern tick. Move the chains

It's going over 24 hours of straight snowfall in N GA so far with it starting 0Z Saturday. Looks to be near 30 to 36 hours of just pure snow in some placesFeels like it’s gonna be tough to get snow in Atlanta with this setup but the GFS is here to challenge that idea

This is turning in to a January 88 repeat, like exactly the same foot print.

It's not even done yet. 0 ice in some areas too.
wow

This is where I want to be at this point. It's a Jan '88 Part II per the GFS

The problem is if it keeps going south soon there wont be a storm, at least for nc/sc

GFS has snow for like 35 hours straight here. Insane.
just absolutely dialed in

ICON and GFS team'd up on the 18z. Hopefully, the 18z EURO will do the same.

Interesting combination of more suppressed with precip shield, but actually warmer most areas, esp. central Alabama/Ga. where it's mostly rain. Likely just noise at this range, but still interesting to note.

For my location, this would be best-case scenario: no ice, all snow, and lots of it. Jan. 9-10, 2011 replay.

Interesting to note how much quicker the GFS is compared to the Euro getting precip in here

That may be why NWS GSP was saying Miller A They was expecting a South Trend?
