I got a feeling that if the GFS keep this up...that Freezing rain amount will go down. Is it safe to say we can cut that in half also?

I'm sure they're all in on the low-level Arctic air winning out early on. No blocking mountains to contend with there.
CMC sticking to its guns.

That 2.63 inches of freezing rain over me.. if that were to verify.. gadsden will be without power for a long time.
That’s way to amp. No way with that 1042 high pressure sitting to the north.
8 degrees at my house and -10 at @Oconeexman house 12 miles away is wild

Am I seeing a -15 at Atlanta at 12z Tuesday?

It's the OG amped solution and it's really been nothing else since it started.
So I would add 3.1 inches of ice topping on 7.1 inches of snow with that run
FYI that tells you that TEAL 74 is scheduled to depart Wednesday, Jan 21 at 2:00 PM EST (C. 21/1900Z).
The mission is targeting the 00Z Thursday (Jan 22) model run (22/0000Z)
The plane will be dropping dropsondes between 3:30 PM and 9:30 PM EST on Wednesday (21/2030Z TO 22/0230Z).
This data is transmitted in real-time and will be fed primarily into the 00Z GFS and Euro.
In case there is any question about where we're going... And this will be the best model of the 0z suite too. Sigh
That is the craziestt 2M map I’ve ever seen

That footprint looks like blizzard 96 nc and va same thing ,double digit snow,with sleet on top

And at least one is leaning toward the GFS.
wow

GFS still dumps a foot over the W piedmont/foothills before the changeover
It's way overdone.

What a trash model. Not just plowing the LP into a 1042mb high but successfully eroding the CAD away to at or above freezing when 12 hours prior it's in the teens.

Is that model actually predicting the column so well it's tracking a cold tongue, such that snow is falling underneath ip/zr. How honed in are these things?
The ICON and GFS are upper echelon setups for cold temperatures in cold air damming...about as strong as you will ever see it. The Feb 1979 storm is the gold standard (last image)
y’all wanna see a real wedge?

Yeah, the CMC becomes a sleet fest in DC after about a foot of snow.
Not the mama

Guys the gfs is just behind the euro but following in its footsteps. Watch the trends. I’m not a meteorologist but even I can see that.

I mean, 14 inches of Kuchera snow followed by 2.5 of sleet. I’ll take it, run and grin the whole way! Basically a super baker’s dozen of concrete after compaction and with that cold it wouldn’t go anywhere for a hot minute.

One of the crazier weather images you will ever see. Frame it

Yeah… If you can’t tell from the trend… the pure ridiculousness of those temps after the storm should show you it’s off its rocker here. Losing another storm NW.

Windchills during the height of the storm on the GFS.
whoooaaa girl. easy there. i think nc needs to go all in on the front end
First of all this is banter. Second of all, this storm isn’t going anywhere, the impacts just change…

This right here should tell you that the Canadian is off it's rocker.
This is a great animation showing just how entrenched the CAD is for this one regardless.

Be nice if ice was on bottom. It will compact, coming in after snow. But us beggars cant be choosers. Not sure if kuchera figured this or not.
That very much resembles at least several recent UKMET runs. That can not happen if the wedge the ICON and GFS are advertising is on the same planet.
GEFS :/
I swear this is the last time I post the Canadian wedge. Waynesboro GA went from 32 and ZR to 63 and rain in one run..it’s just trying to remember where the wedge is supposed to be bc it’s been so long

Front end thump of snow followed by all sorts of mixing is the most common way storms have played out in central NC over the years. I certainly wouldn’t bet on this one being any different.

Glad you mentioned President's Day 1979 as it was on my mind earlier. In North Charleston, had a LOT of ICE with that and the temp was in the upper teens. That HIGH was 1050mb over NE Canada! This GFS run has 1043mb further south in NY than the 79 storm. There were huge sleet and snow totals in the Carolinas if my memory serves correctly.
