I got a dusting a couple of years ago at the new place on something similar. Just got under a little band for awhile.

This has Jan 2003 vibes..... with the meso-low in the upstate and the angle of the clipper. Someone will be surprised. I believe the ratios will be high also, due to the cold upper levels and lift the DGZ

What happened in January 2003?
I just wanna set expectations as far as early cliff jumping. Models generally starting up precip E of the Apps ~10pm so please don’t come in here saying bust at 8:15
Might have been 1/29/22. Downtown got a dusting as I was leaving work. Here’s a pic of Centennial Olympic park

The highest ratio snow of all time ..... 49 to 1 in charlotte. Happened with a set up very similar to this one.
Up in the frozen north
Oxford: 32/10(!)
Roxboro: 32/16
Also, NAM MOS had HKY at 33/16 at 7pm, so looking good there for guidance

My best guess for this event. Admittedly, I was a little rusty at making these. It's been a while
That’s the one. I had trouble getting off my street on to 41 and didn’t hit snow again to near Atlanta.

37.4/21.1F dew points. I think this is the quickest I've hit the 30s so far.

Seems realistic! Would be a welcome sight after the past 2.5 years+
A clipper system was forecast to give the CLT metro area around and inch or so of snow. A mesolow formed near GSP at the last minute and the are metro area ended up getting 6-10” in just a matter of a few hours. There was officially 8.5” at the airport with an unheard of around here 40:1 snow to liquid ratio. Some parts of Cleveland County over to Lincoln County ended up with over a foot. There was also thundersnow throughout the event

On a scale of 1-10, how much should I get about the north shifts on both the HRRR and the RAP? I'm assuming due to the meso low and the potential frontogenesis I shouldn't care that much at all right?

Oh wow. It would be amazing if we got like 1/3 or 1/4 of that.

I got 12.5 out of that one in SW Rutherford county. One of the best surprised clipper systems coming over the mountains I've ever seen in my 42 years living here. Ended up turning into one of the best snowstorms of all time around here that wasn't supposed to be. Hoping for some surprises tonight for everyone after the storm crosses the mountains and reforms. I have a feeling someone is going to be surprised in the morning. Good luck to all. We are definitely way past overdue.

Alright yall. Dinner a success. Christmas movie on. Dog in lap. Kid gone nuts. May flurry watch 2024 commence. 
Basically the beginning of him probably realizing it might be more then just a flurry east of the mountains

I love Brad but what’s with all his hate/down talk to possible winter weather. I get a lot of meteorologists make bad calls and get burned but he takes the cake for downplaying everything!
