Storm 01 - Day 7:

Wow, almost everyone has a storm for NC, and quite a few big dogs.
 
The 12z GEFS is actually down in the number of members IMBY from it's 6z run with appreciable snow/ice. Went from 20/22 down to 16/22, still good odds but not a good trend as it seems to move the snow some northward
 
THankfully, more sn than ip/ice
I really want this first storm to give a lot of us something! The cold air should be coming in on Wed, a fresh shot, then we get the good moisture, it'll be a nice event. Just want to score something, then the next one would be gravy!
 
As long as the precipitation is there; the CAD is going to win in this situation.

I can't even go into the OP GFS on 12/31/17. Basically a raging 250mb jet over NC with relatively meager precip breaking out. Haven't checked the omegas but ...

On that note, the CMC looks to have a decent handle on the wedge/precip breaking out which spells the Carolina/GA ice rink a coming
 
12z UKMET a central and eastern Carolinas winter storm. Probably more snow since it's more suppressed/less amped and the high is really wedged in.

Looking at other frames, the circulation (low) is right along the gulf coast/FL panhandle. Moisture is sparse; but we know that will increase as we get closer. Yes, I see a more ip/sn situation for some with this idea!
 
We've lost the NAVGEM! Supressed and out to sea! GFS like! :(
