I agree. It's a huge cut off down there for you guys as well. I've experienced it several times over and it's real. Feast or famine. Since we're talking about gradients im going to throw in the Rutherford county nc gradient. It's one that never gets much mention but it should with the elevation change as there's a huge gradient here in the county and if you have lived here long enough you know. You go from the upstate to the mountains from the southern end of the county to the north western end of the county. From the state line NC/SC state line just out of Chesnee in to RC to Chimney Rock there is a crazy difference in elevation and snow totals north to south. I'm a mile south of the 74 bypass sitting at 1000ft elevation and there's a big gradient there as well 74 south to 74 north with the snow totals. Just one example off the top of my head Dec 18 2009. Chesnee maybe around 2 inches. My location Danieltown right off of 221 5 miles south of Rutherfordton 6 inches. Rutherfordton 10 inches and Chimney Rock 14 inches in that storm. Elevation is king.

I think it’s not out of the realm of possibility to see some freezing drizzle or rain from Raleigh and places NW late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Some short range models have us flirting with freezing with some precip in the area. Key would be getting the precip in early enough and also making it down to freezing. Best chance would be around @metwannabe 
Can’t imagine the GEFS pulling something out here but the majority want to mix in some sort of snow flakes on the northern edge of precip. About as razor thin of a margin as we can get. (Don’t look at member 8) 
Excited to track my first big gradient drop on my weather station like all of you and be able to post my fancy graph ? lol

What kind of weather station ?
When cold chasing moisture does work at all, it's setups like this. If can get a slp to form to hekp slow precip exit some and orientation of caa (more northerly component and not w/nw) then maybe just maybe a few lucky souls see those splattering raindrops on the windshields lol

Umm…they get events. In town Atlanta hasn’t in half a decade, token flakes notwithstanding.

That’s on top of what they’ve had the last two days. That said they can keep the ice storm.

It probably doesn't mean a hill of beans, but GFS showing a trend of a slower exit of precip on Friday

I'm with you, actually slowing precip down is first step in direction of any snowflakes on backside
