You probably can’t go wrong with Blowing Rock, or really anywhere with high elevation.

You'll be fine it's been 60 up here for the last few days. This will be a heavy wet snow. The roads will be a little slushy but that's about it.Heading to Boone this weekend, wondering if I will be able to make it out SundayI'm fine if the answer is no!
Brevard, Highlands area would be a good location for people wanting to chase but don't want to drive far.
Thanks Snowman, taking the big truck up with 4L and muds, so not worried unless it gets icy. East (Actually west) bound and down, 10-10 on the side.
That's a big 10-4 stay safe buddy and enjoy.

Eastern NC has thrown in the towel. Upstate and western NC still very much alive.

12z Euro out to 36hrs looks better than 00z in every way. Should see it tick S/E with the cut off I think.

Weaker S/W and just looking at the vort map, there may be a little more interaction with the N/S as well.

Yeah, it definitely has more interaction

I’m supposed to leave Sunday to depending on the weather. I’ll be in Boone. Maybe I can meets some posters up there.Heading to Boone this weekend, wondering if I will be able to make it out Sunday

Not only is the ULL better but the lower heights over the NE and SE Canada is even better. Problem is we got to be careful because if the S/W is too weak, then you can't get the dynamic cooling.

ULL is about 50 miles further SE.

So is the surface low at hr 66
Exactly. The key will be to get it to go bonkers when it begins the pivot to the NE.

Euro and GFS maybe coming closer together now.
Much better euro run, one more of those puts us back in the game east of the mnts

Mt cheaha gets hammered, I mean my goodness it’s so close back this way. Euro was def closer to the NAM over other models.

All of the models are really bombing this 500mb low as it pivots up from the florida panhandle area. There's going to be some epic snow rates somewhere as a result.
What a shift...

Need to get this to shift another 50 miles or so southeast with the track of the ULL and continue dropping heights in the Northeast and Southeast Canada and I will feel really good for everyone along and west of 77.
Heck, party at Cheaha?

Right now it looks like the epic rates from the bombing low are centered in Northern Ga/SW NC through the rest of the NC mountains.
I don't think anyone would need elevation to produce hefty snow accumulations under this area... but you do need the dynamics that the area provides. If that area winds up being the upstate, we'll get pasted. Same for Atlanta/Athens area.

12z Euro Kuchera map
Euro 850 low track was nice for NGA, Upstate, WNC but there were massive temp issues below 875. With the heavier rates a lot of people will be able to cool from the top down
Shoot if the Euro continues spitting that out, it’s worth a forty minute chase.

Do you have the sleet map? I'm curious if it's showing much.

How much of a shift South and East is needed to get more of the foothills and western piedmont involved? 50-75 miles?
All in, let's goooooo.....

50 miles as the crow flies. Have to be careful though to make sure the shift doesn't come from a lot of weakening which will zap the dynamic cooling.

True Pack. Fine line on the ULL.
If I were in your shoes the only thing that would really concern me about the NAM is that it's artificially collapsing the cold from the top down by being over amplified and too heavy with precip. That may not be the case but keep it in mind
Seems doable for you guys in WNC in the foothills.
