Well you nailed the last storm so you’ll probably be right again ?

It was bad. I was barely on the Western edge of getting anything on the UK, I ended up on the Eastern edge of heavy snow here in Tennessee. It basically was a good 200 miles too far S/E Sunday.
This definitely screams no sort of QPF in Charlotte “wink wink”
Less WAR on the CMCE 
Somehow the CMCE was worse
It’s still possible sure man I just putting my own take on what zones are in the greatest impact area. I know it’s too far out to determine the cutoff line I just want readers to know not everyone is gonna score with this one and I’m leaning to most (Greensboro Charlotte and points west) not getting much or any qpf.
What in the world UKMET!
On the bright side, we’re not seeing too much of a nod to the Euro.
I’m not worried about the moisture at all, it will come. But if we can get our temps right, we would be sitting so much better.
Get the cold, then worry about the moisture.

Just sit back and watch the NW Trend. It happens almost always with these southern systems like this.

Very nice
Totally different system man not all are the same. Far from our last system. This one is not coming from the Dakotas or transferring. It’s ejecting ENE and will spill qpf in a more conservative fashion with how the precip shield evolves you can see it clearly on the 0z guidance.
As we’ve seen this year, everything has became amped
Things are prone to being more NW from the ridging nosing in off the coast
The energy is trending back to a partial phase on modeling
Way more support for this to be a bit west, then stay ots or be further east, I mean the nam already starts our winter storm in 75 hours. I could be wrong tho

Unfortunately, just about all of the 0.75-1.00” wintry qpf SAV-CHS and nearby areas is ZR. This is based on 850’s mainly +5 to +6 hours 90-114 and 925’s just above freezing. So, what looks like a beautiful heavy snowfall on the clown is really devastating ice. 2M temps plunge to the low 30s and then upper 20s due to a very strong wedge along with very windy conditions meaning windchills near 20. In this area, that would be the worst ZR since 1922. I wouldn’t want any part of this. Hopefully UK is off of its rocker though there have been certain runs of various models with something similar over the last few days, which is unnerving. Fortunately, it is an outlier and NW shifts meaning warmer are common.

Definitely seeing a NW trend, Euro possible phase like what I see here.

NW Trend doesn’t necessarily have to mean warmer if the phase occurs earlier, like ukmet shows
I’d much rather there be a SE trend of the surface low track to cool the 850s/925s so I could get mainly sleet or snow. Anything but this as this is about the worst case scenario.

h5 of this euro run looks a lot like UKMET thus far (thru hour 36)
