Alright. This is likely too much info in one map, but I think it is a fun experiment in forecast comms. Not ready to outright forecast 8"+ near CLT and down to the Grand Strand, but I could see it. Considered a 2-3" contour nudging down into north central NC, but enough uncertainty there that a dashed zone callout was sufficient for my liking. The Euro is incredibly consistent on destroying AVL/GSP/CLT and areas in between, probably could have nudged that pink line a bit west. This may be conservative, but I have been too high on almost every forecast I've done so far.

I like how you nudged that 4-8 to my neighbor’s property but kept it off my property. Good looking map nonetheless
 
I like Brad a lot...I don't even live in Charlotte but I like listening to his forecasts.

He used to be a weenie in his early years when I started following Models ect. 2008 ish …. He’d be the one with highest totals everytime. He’d get raked over and over, now the older he is…. He catches a lot of heat but he’s damn near always on the money or close

Absolutely correct. Brad called for some big snows early in his career in CLT and missed. He found out that we're not in Ohio. Now he's very conservative and one of the very best.
 
I couldn't name one Atlanta TV meteorologist.

I get my forecast for winter storms right here, and looking at model runs and trends.
 
Bold to call off school 3 days in advance when a single snow flake hasn’t fell yet.

I mean it’s as certain an event as we’re ever going to see. ILM has the entire area blanketed in 4-8” totals. Obviously that will be more or less depending on area.

My concern is SCDOT. We actually have a respectable number of plows and every single one has been mounted up. HOWEVER because the event is state wide they’re staging some of them in the southern parts of the state that don’t usually get any winter weather so our roads may now be plowed as well as they were last year when we had ~6”. Pretty all winter weather equipment in SC is stored and staged north of a line from roughly Greenwood to North Myrtle beach in a typical year.
 
Given a few modeling outputs I think we are in a sweet spot for band formation especially off the mountain upsloping.
Hope so! Either way, has been nice to trend towards something as compared to where we were at a few days ago. 2" would be a success honestly. Anything more is gravy, I am not greedy like those Carolina folks lol.
 
Silver is down 30% today. Another thing I never expected to see in my lifetime.
 
Brad P is a good meteorologist but let’s be real, nobody knows exactly where that dry slot is going to set up and a lot of models are suggesting it won’t be that prominent. Yes, I think it will cut down on snow totals but it won’t be to a zero extent
