East of 95 looks like the winners, with Euro

Globals are all pretty locked in IMO. Just a matter of sleet vs snow for some
Would be lights out down to the coast

Really now a matter of who caves to who- the short range to the globals, or vice versa... for those right on the edge in terms of precip type (myself included), it will really matter

? now is NAM short range right, more west? Or is Euro right, more East Long range Model?

This not including the snow? Snow on the Euro was 7-8" here do the 10:1 include the IP/ZR or is this on top of that?

Big takeaway from that map.is how much the sharp cutoff on the south end relaxed and expanded substantially southward.

On the Euro, snowing in Raleigh from 16z Fri to 9z Sat. During that time, surface temperature is 25 dropping to 21
Webb’s ptype call map:
@Shaggy @Downeastnc Looks like lights out for us.. Going to get My Generator on stand-by ..
Remember Folks, for a COASTAL SNOW system..
It has been noted that in most significant snowstorms for the eastern Carolinas the surface low tracks very near 32° north latitude, 75° west longitude, about 215 miles southeast of Cape Fear. The low missed this benchmark point to the south during the day but still dropped heavy snow locally due to its track almost northward along the Carolina coast.

Bold statement from DT

Yeah if the models keep trending colder for the coast its gonna be pretty ugly down your way.
Encouraging Euro run, IMO. Glad to see it come a little S/E and give the RDU area some breathing room. All the models are pretty close now, relatively speaking. Good agreement for a major storm.

The king really is dead. It’s been pathetic when it used to money in the 5-6 day range.

Yeah ive shifted from a major ZR to now more a sleetfest or snow potential. Hopefully we wont see any NW shifts at all and this will pass safely offshore and crush those of us who have not been crushed in several years. My last 6 inch event was 2014.
