The 0z GFS was essentially a warmer version of Jan 1988 with lots of IP/ZR thrown into the mix, there's no way we're getting temps anywhere as cold as that storm, but it's neat to see glimpses of a generally similar large-scale pattern reappear here. It really is too bad we couldn't get this look during the heart of January but beggars can't be choosers
 
Gonna be jealous watching our NC friends expience a HECS from the sidelines. Can’t complain much after last year though.

Call me crazy but I still think ATL is in play for something fairly large. Cad will increase through the week

You're not crazy, it's very much still a possibility. We need the south shifts in track to continue in addition to faster timing. It would be great to have onset of precip pushing in overnight Fri/Sat Morning across here into the Carolinas. If we end up having a HP as strong as the upper 1030s to 1040mb it should help reinforce CAA and setup a stout CAD for our region. I'm waiting until 00z model guidance on Thursday night before throwing in the towel completely here.
 
Since Tuscaloosa is not really ever getting any snow anytime soon and Joe bastardi winter forecast will likely bust for the state of Alabama...cliff jumping for me Is in full effect until January... I hope you all who's getting snow enjoy

I wouldn't even throw in the towel that early. I've seen way too many events like this suddenly end up w/ a ZR threat in areas like Columbia & Atlanta at the last possible second, this CAD looks much stronger than the examples I can recall where this transpired.

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this but I was wondering about the members who have a meteorologist tag by their names. Are they actually meteorologists or is it a tag you earn for so many posts? Am I really stupid for asking this? Lol

I'm not a meteorologist, but I play one on the interwebs.

It has been a very long time since RDU has had anything significant before Christmas. We had the December 2002 storm but that was mostly ice. Before that, we had a wet snow in November 2000 but most of that event melted on contact with the ground. I hope this system has a chance to change that, but I'm skeptical until I see snow in mby
