One of the ways you get really big snows in Charlotte & the rest of the SW piedmont historically, have a very cold, deep CAD in place like that to delay the inevitable changeover to sleet &/or ZR until you've already piled up several (or more) inches of snow. Dec 1930 & Feb 12-13 2014 are great examples
That’s look is $$$$ for for the Carolinas and NE GA. A 1041mb high anchored in place over PA with at that point is likely some good snow cover and low pressure moving along the Gulf Coast

Usually what doesn't work for Charlotte & works for Raleigh is Miller A cyclones.

Looks like an incoming storm that the GFS had for the 10th.

Holy hell we are in for a ride, y’all. Those temps in the Midwest are insane at the end of the run!

Webb, last time we had a good overrunning event for I-20 southward? Map wise. And yes for y’all I-85 and I-40 up there as well. Last one I think of was 2014

Wonder if the euro is going to show up and kick us square in the nuts
December 2017 was pretty close.

Yeah without a doubt it was Jan 28-29 2014
Yes and my wife was stuck on an Atlanta highway for 14 hours during it.
This is the big difference vs previous years, you get this look, ridge going up in AK/on top of AK, Arctic air gets dumped in the central US
The difference here is that the last 7 million years, we had a +NAO, those big troughs would go poleward and reinforce +NAO, and flex the SER, this go around there’s a huge -NAO, it can’t go poleward easily so it’s forced to slide under the block, I’m not sayin this will last significantly longer, but imo a trough of that size with that much blocking, I could see it slowing down, but this -NAO has been a huge help this year, previous years the NAM is unfavorable with a Garbo strat PV state and we get a mostly +NAO/AO, this year it’s the complete opposite and given the weakened PV, blocking has been significant, we trash this SPV warming event but it’s doing one thing it’s suppose to do, blocking.

January 2018 was good for the 85 corridor, first time I've been in the bullseye for snow
This looks like a open door for more opportunity after that big cold shot 
This is just freaking impressive, straight out of the Arctic regions lined up right to us

Honestly not a bad look. No big storm but I'll take an inch or 2.

A little colder earlier this year and a lot more snow would have fallen for people all over the southeast and especially the mid south.
