And with that I'm out for the night before Ukie and Euro douse my dreams. Everyone try to behave please and keep banter in banter so @packfan98 and myself don't have to spend half our morning cleaning up, thanks!

interesting windfield. each cam will bounce around with llc position some- will be arbitrarily tied too where it fires convection. may be a thing we don't nail down until the start of the event. early jan 2018 was like this too- cyclogenesis was tied to convection, and i think in that storm a reason more snow made it inland than forecast is that models were too trigger happy to fire convection away to the coast and drift the llc further offshore
 
MBY went from 43 to 32 in about 5 minutes. Had 2” in 45 minutes and it got to me right as it was getting dark so even the roads got quickly covered
Happened in the afternoon here seems like 2 or 3.
It snowed so hard that the roads here had almost the same amounts as the grass.
Rates that heavy win in almost any scenario!
 
GFS very very close to my map. Just remember global model has hard time with lee side shadow it could extend further north and east. Also be wary around Raleigh Ice will hamper snow amounts in short distance, 1-3” sleet preserved snow vs 4-8” snow just to the north
 
I could also see the clipper skipping over Mount Airy, Wilkesboro and Lenoir. Let’s get through the first part then we can see where the “clipper jump line” will form. My guess is Mooresville-Salisbury gonna get smoked and maybe points north-east

That was the area that got the most with the December clipper as well. Got 0.8” with that one
