Are there any mitigating factors to this that wouldn’t mean lights out and a week worth of clean up? This seems so much more extreme than what any local met has discussed.....

Just left a cold rain in Charlotte to come home to a cold rain in Columbia. Wish I could’ve stayed in Charlotte to see some wintry weather.
A transition to sleet. The HREF is an upgrade to the SREF, so I am not 100% sure how well it performs. It's just kind of showing the idea the SREF has had for a couple days now. I prefer the HREF maps. I don't like the way the temps are looking for a lot of areas that are supposed to switch by late this afternoon outside the mountains, but who knows. We'll see.

Basically 5 miles away from my house getting freezing rain. Don't know if I should be grateful or a little sad I probaby won't be seeing any wintry precip this storm.

NE GA mountains will get destroyed if that elongated heavy band of precip running across Northern MS/AL/GA starts heading northeast.

@Webberweather53 What part CLT are you in? I am right along I-85 on the north side of town, I feel kind good from my neighborhood but still anxious.

I am in Mooresville and I feel nervous. I can't imagine how you guys feel down that way. Gonna be close for sure.

Chances are you will get by with lots of snow.
Mooresville is in way better position then clt, such a tight gradient where you could go from 1-8 inches of snow
Same here in Salisbury, I'm in a better spot than Clt

The mping reports suggest frozen precip is a little ahead of schedule.
Here is the hrrr. Look how much more area is frozen.
Nam has much less area seeing frozen right now.
Hrrr much closer to reality.

Go to "Upper Air" and click 850 analysis.
Very light rain/ ice pellets falling here in Salisbury
Is anyone in NC going to be sleeping tonight?

If HRRR is correct this is golden.

hrrr is insane for the upstate
The hrrr certainly has everybodys attention but with strong winds aloft from the se, the nam or In between the both seem likely

I don't see anybody reporting from Forsyth Co, GA, which looks to be a possible demarcation zone between little to no zr and possibly a good bit. Here 5 miles NW of Cumming it's currently a rainy mess at 38.4. Winds gusting to near 20mph from the NE. Bring on the wedge!

doesn't the direction matter? I don't see any winds on soundings that look like they would be driving warmth into our area. no winds out of the south that I can find.

Still thinking about 6 to 8 of snow here before the mix.
People living and dying with each model run are going to be dead a lot.

The HRRR can be pretty bad beyond 10-12 hours, I'm gonna wait until later this evening before taking it too seriously, one only has to look upstream w/ how it did in Oklahoma (being the last of the models to cling onto a significant winter storm in OKC before finally caving) to see some red flags.
