Wintry 1/9-12 Winter Potential Great Dane or Yorkie

Right. I mean we can see it with Dallas right now. They're still struggling with mixing. I was looking at their TWC forecast and the snow amounts have downgraded over the last hour. They just haven't been able to make the transition to all snow.

I’m pretty sure the mixing wasn’t unexpected for DFW. Anyways, they are snowing now.
 
According to TWC, they're in a mix right now so maybe TWC radar is wrong, but that's what I'm seeing. I'm mostly looking at downtown Dallas so maybe snow is falling in the western/northwestern side of the metroplex.

Jeff Crum here In Charlotte used to call their radar “The Kryspy Kreme” of radars bc it had a lot of unneeded fluff

I am always intrigued by the micro climates of given areas so this is helpful. The CAD thing haunts us here because of 4K+ foot mountains just to our east and north in Gilmer County. We love NW flows though.

Elevation Changes here too… not a ton, But Uptown Around 650-700’ while Mooresville / Troutman are 900-950’ that added with the 30-35 miles helps

Interesting dynamics at play...

NAM/HRRR both seem to be bearish on just disaster runs for South either hardly anything are just all freezing rain
GFS - Going big and ICON/FV-3 not too shabby either
RGEM/recent RAPs: slight tweak into more southern solutions

and watching radar to west comparing the models and seeing some current swing and misses on some of the "Bad" models and trying to decipher if thats proof they are off

Nah that’s legit 20 miles lol …. Hwy 73 is the cutoff Most Storms around here For CAD.

Huntersville- 20 Miles
Davidson - 25
Mooresville - 30
Troutman - 35
Statesville - 40 miles away from Uptown

Yes, "Charlotte" covers a big area that is often a cutoff spot, i.e. I-85 corridor. In the past 10 years Davidson, Mooresville, Huntersville areas (North Charlotte metro) have gotten numerous small events or dustings while South Charlotte has often gotten nothing. South Charlotte is further south than some parts of South Carolina. Local TV mets can predict "cold rain to 3 inches" in the county and be 100% accurate on both ends.
 
Per the MPing reports, the snow/sleet line in Dallas, Texas is the I-20 corridor. Also lurking the Storm2K Texas Winter thread as well and same thing. Dallas/FTW overperforming right now.

Sounds a lot like the Atlanta area during a winter storm. I-20 is usually the delineating between mostly/all snow and sleet/rain.
 
its dumping on dowtown Dallas
Here's how much the 3km NAM had falling in Dallas 24-36hrs out. This is through 10pm tonight.

Important note on 12z GFS is that it keep pushing up QPF from west to east into N. Ga., the S.C. upstate and western N.C. foothills/Piedmont. That's 4 consecutive GFS runs that have done so -- the .5 line is now on CLT's doorstep.

I think as time goes on it will continue to move that way
