A 3-6" snow around here is considered the big one
Jan 11’ was a cold snow. Best ratios I’ve ever seen here. I measured 7” on top of the golf cart. If we can find a way to rival that within 2-3”this could be a really good one even back west where the ceiling is a bit lower
My bar for a great event would be 3" in Raleigh. That's higher than what th AIFS just spit out for Raleigh...us Raleigh folks got a lot of work to do.

Wasn’t around the 1988 monster so 2011 is the best one I can remember. Went to sleep with John Cessarich calling for 2-4 inches and woke up to almost 8 inches lol

CLT gets more snow than me, I rage. I didn't move 35 miles north of 85 for nothing did I? lol.

I am right on that edge of the heavier stuff, lol, I feel ya. Hoping we can just keep some qpf and get us a decent storm.
What’s the wind forecast? Can someone get to 35mph gusts? I’d love to see a Blizzard Warning for someone in the south.

So I live in Marietta and it looks questionable if I’ll see snow or not. I was thinking of driving up to Murphy NC since I can get a comped room at the casino. What’s everyone’s thoughts on how much snow there?

That was at 10:1 ratios. The more likely 15:1 puts us at 4”

I like it, Grit swinging for the fences at CLT. Hope he's right!
AIFS was 0.25" at RDU, which surely would be 3-5" with good ratios?
Take a trip as I doubt you'll go wrong. My older sibling (middle brother) is supposedly headed this way (Columbia area) from Atlanta as several family and friends are gonna (which is now in question) to celebrate my and our oldest sibling (brother) birthdays, respectively.
My "traveling brother" is a big fan of snow as well, so he still make the trip to likely experience more snow in his hometown of Columbia. Be safe and enjoy!

All area public schools took 3 days off from this past weekend’s event. I can’t even imagine what next week would look like if the NBM totals or higher come to pass.
Wooohoooo thanks Allan for mentioning the double R, probably kiss of death but good to see somebody covering my areaAllan Huffman

My lifetime weather goal is to one day make his A group
Yea I remember that one. Crazy stuff.
Thinking someone on the NC coast (or tidewater VA/Delmarva) might have a shot at a Blizzard warning, but not sure if the wind criteria will be met.

I was wondering why I’ve seen herds of birds flying so closely to the ground the last couple of days.

Would love to be a kid again in the 80s with a storm like this going on and watching cartoons Saturday morning.
Southernwx will have a live spotter in Gatlinburg. It’s about time I make it happen. Headed up tomorrow after work!

I would take the 12" of snow the NAM gives me and tip my hat the folks SE of me getting 30".
It's for entertainment lol. I think we all know there's not a lot of usefulness to it. Going to be a long three days...

Yeah I get it I used to do the same thing but then when make myself believe it and get disappointed every single time

Yes, that's the downside of seeing these ridiculous runs we've had over the last couple days. Suddenly, 3-6" just seems like child's play. It's like if it doesn't run past a foot, is it even worth it to snow? Just kidding!Yeah I get it I used to do the same thing but then when make myself believe it and get disappointed every single time

Exactly! That’s why I been so frustrated today I’ve been seeing those pretty pink colors on the euro and gfs then the euro gives me 6 inches and I get mad. Even though that would be my biggest snow in 10+ years

I’m just trying to get 4+ for the first time since 2018. To have it with no mixing would be sweet!Yes, that's the downside of seeing these ridiculous runs we've had over the last couple days.

So is Norfolk going to get this storm? Looks like it's on the northern fringe. My family wants to get to Norfolk for a cruise and beat the storm so I may miss it. 
You and me both, I haven't seen 4" since February 2015 (since I was in Florida during the winters of 2017-2019, unfortunately). Man, it would be so nice! I think last February's snowfall (3-3.5") was the first one that I've had since 2015 that covered all the grass blades, which is a big indicator of a solid snow for me (since that's usually warning criteria, at least).
