...Wintry precipitation expected across northeast Georgia Saturday
night into Sunday...

A complex storm system will affect north and central Georgia
beginning late Friday, continuing through the weekend and
potentially into early next week. Confidence is increasing that
a period of wintry precipitation, mainly in the form of freezing
rain, will occur late Saturday night through Sunday across
northeast Georgia. The potential for snow and sleet has shifted
more into North and South Carolina.

At this time, the best chance of seeing measurable ice
accumulations will be north and east of a Homer to Gainesville to
Dawsonville line. The rain-freezing rain line could move as far
south and west as Canton to Cumming to Lawrenceville to Winder to
Athens, where a mix of rain and freezing rain is possible.
However, confidence in this happening is a bit lower at this time,
and the forecast is still subject to change based on the event
being more than 48 hours out.

Outside of the winter weather threat, across much of middle
Georgia, heavy rain Saturday into early Sunday could result in up
to 3 inches of rainfall. This will likely elevate the threat for
localized flooding or flash flooding.

Sunday night into Monday, wrap-around moisture in the colder air
behind the system could result in some light snow showers across
portions of north and central Georgia. However, being 3 to 4 days
out, confidence is low at this time.

Stay tuned to the very latest forecasts from your local media
outlets and National Weather Service office as this complex storm
system evolves over the next couple days. If you live or are
traveling across the higher elevations of northeast Georgia
especially, prepare now for winter weather conditions and
hazardous driving conditions late this weekend into early next
week.

The snowfall map from NWS Greenville shows 4" in Asheville and 10" in Charlotte. I don't understand why Charlotte would get so much more. Isn't Asheville much higher in elevation ?
