Some areas got upwards of 0.7-0.8" liquid equivalent on that Euro run in central NC. I sure hope some of this is sleet...

That doesn't look dry to me. If that's mostly frozen, could be a bigger deal.

Yeah exactly, this Euro run was actually a lot wetter in central NC...
Most areas get double-triple the amount of precip...

I don't expect the models to handle overrunning/isentropic lifting terribly well this far out either. They're usually underdone w/ the strength of the CAD, northern extent, intensity, & amount of CAD precip this far in advance but there's still plenty of time for it to change.

Looked like most of that arrives after temps warm though.

The temperatures are actually below freezing for the duration of the event along a line from about Roanoke Rapids-Smithfield/Goldsboro-Lillington & into Rockingham-Wadesboro. The precip depicted in the triangle on this Euro run is mostly freezing rain.
 
Gonna have to find a kicker wave out in the pacific or something to shove the lp out of 4 corners area and preferably due east and not toward the lakes.

The GFS does not even go below freezing from the 21st to the 29th, just saying what the 12Z said, forgive my ignorance.. You all know everything...............

Doesn't mean it's a torch though

I like what webber is cooking. He sounds pretty convinced we'll be singing some ice, ice, baby next week.

Oh right on. Thanks for the clarification. Nice to have you back in here Eric!
 
Looks like the Euro would be all freezing rain for central NC. 850s are quite warm and 925s stay above freezing so the cold air is very shallow.

Yeah that's always iffy with a very shallow layer in-situ wedge.  Too high of rates and it scours out fast.  As depicted, this looks like it would be just the right rates to lock in the cold.  Still expect many changes over the next few days.  It does not look warm though.  Maybe the models will keep having warmth in the long range, only to back away from pumping the SE ridge as time draws closer.

Maybe for your backyard it doesn't. I see multiple days during this time period that go well below freezing for my area.

Could mean some snap, crackle, and pop.

EPS mean has ~0.35-0.4" of liquid equivalent precipitation from this system next week in the Triangle, most of which is presumably ice.

You guys are in trouble if it gets wetter/colder.
