Wintry Dec 8-10th Winter Storm

Oh well, even the most conservative method for snow accumulation for the GFS had 6 plus inches for most of NC. Even that is still a big storm.

Not really.... you are in the best spot (triangle area wise) but there are many south and east of this line that are nowhere near 6". Just trying to keep it realistic, I hope you get a foot, I hope you get 2 but just be cautious when looking at those clown maps

We get it... we’ve heard for 5 days how the FV3 snow maps are wrong.

With all due respect it still needs to be clarified..... you know new people join the forum everyday and this may be the first time they've seen that map?
 
With kuchera I still get 20+ lol, cut that in half and that seems more likely for my area

Just saying if you go from Raleigh westward it is showing over half the state with 6 inches plus.

I wouldn't mind sleet, a winter storm is a winter storm, at least it's not a cold rain or zr, sleet does not really knock out power either

I love a sleet storm if I can't get snow. You're right about sleet not knocking out power, as it bounces off of everything, hence it not being as pretty as snow, but you can't beat the sound of heavy sleet falling, now that's a wintry sound.
 
Yep best not to focus on what the model is giving you but focus on the possibilities, that's why i didn't really worry much when models shifted yesterday, could get a bunch of snow or a bit with a sleetfest
 
It appears on the latest GFS that the slp shoots northeastward from Mexico from hour 84 to southeastern Tx at hour 90. Is that pretty realistic? I would think if it was more into the gulf at hour 90 it would put places like Northwest MS and points eastward into play for wintry precip with the initial activity that has been showing for some time for portions of AR. I could be completely wrong however.

Yeah, but people will complain when those maps do not come to fruition. It needs to be reiterated over and over and over.

You'd think by now we would have the technology to get the algorithm right to show the right amounts.

It's a better sound than hearing trees falling due to the heavy weight of ice !
 
Honestly if you look at all models and even ensembles they are coming into agreement on Mountains and Upper Cad areas getting wintry weather.
 
If you are too lazy to check sounding or can’t read them then just use pivotalweather for precip-types!

Looks like the control, mean, and 15 out of 20 panels have at least a decent storm here. I think that is an increase from previous runs.

I'd like to place an order for e10.
