I ordered dominos in your honor. And that’s sacrifice because I’m gonna have bad acid reflux from it. Luckily I plan on being up all night anyway.
Uh oh. Mitch up past his bed time. You know things are getting serious. It’s like James Spann taking his jacket off.
Same thing is being discussed down here in eastern Alabama. 1-2 inch possibility in some places

When does the raging begin? When the snow starts falling?

It begins now because our luck still would be the snow never falls lol. So in case this is as close as we get we rage now.

I’m really considering driving to Nags head tomorrow so I can experience blizzard conditions. That’s the place to be for this storm. Those guys are going to get smoked.

Has there been a time where an ULL has dropped as much snow as being shown right now? I understand the bomb off the coast and its moisture but I just can't seem to see how the ULL will perform this well.

Holy crap! This is crazy. Whatever ends up happening, this model has not led the way and is just one of the pack now for me. What do think will happen?
Remember that sand blows to. Doesnt taste to good. Stay on mainland side
February 2004, caught 17.5 off one. Beleive Big Frosty caught 19 off one a few years back

The Charlotte & Upstate crew are going to really like my call map lol
AIFS on top of Google…I would take those 2 against any other model. And EPS mean is right there…but I don’t like that op euro, that was hideous.

I've "heard" of it with March 2009 (heard as I had my heart broken), but it's a kind of event that is slams head into desk caliber.
Like...CAE is going to have to issue a Winter Storm Warning for its entire viewing area based on everything I see, but as you get further southwest, from what I see with the banding and what not, it could easily be a case where one area gets 5" and the other area struggles to get more than an inch because of not enough good banding.

March 2009, I got 7 inches and thundersnow. It was pretty big for southern and eastern areas of the metro. That had more gulf moisture injection though. This ULL is mostly Atlantic sourced.

I formally issue a challenge to Mr. Upper Low. I bet you can't man up and deliver a big dog for the WHOLE upstate; even Pickens and Oconee. Go ahead, show me what you're made of. I TRIPLE DOG DARE YA.
Depending on the 0z runs I'm about to dust off a whamby thread

Would Highlands be a decent spot to chase? Don't want to drive all the way to Charlotte.

Personally, I'd probably go to the upstate. The mountains would be great to see in snow, but the cold is going to make it pretty darn dangerous if you're not used to it.

Yeah, 2004 really left those 2 counties with very little. I'm not sure how those 2 counties did in 2009, but I know they missed in 2003 too. Didn't 2022 hit those areas nicely though. I know the GSP metro itself did nicely with it. I have not had 6+ here since 2004. Not even 2009 or 2014 could do it.

We lived south of Atlanta near Locust Grove in 2009 and I think we ended up with 5-6”.
My forecast today has increased and I think there is a decent chance we end up with a substantial snowfall here. Getting 3-4” out of this would be a real treat considering where this was for us just 36 hours ago.
With that said, I’m going to have a ton of joy seeing so many people on this forum cash in a massive snow. Been a long time coming for many of y’all. Haven’t gotten the 27th out yet, but I can’t wait to see this place explode in happiness this weekend.

Well said and I completely second all of that
May you get your dream!
And then…. You have to do all you can to get one more snow storm to hit for us folks to the west and into Alabama.
I don’t care if you all have to do a ritualistic, synchronized leaf blowers dance. Or open all your freezers all at once. Eat pudding with your fingers. Whatever works (cuz none of that would.). Get creative. Cuz we STARVED over here!!!

I'm hoping to get to .1 QPF before this Temu storm gets here.

Idk how I feel about GSP-CLT being everyone’s pick ….. we’re cursed, it’s like Giglio says with state “Law of the Wolf” if it can go wrong it will

I feel this deeply. Many ways to still get blanked, not scientific, just based on past experiences and my gut.
Nobody had blizzard for New Orleans on their picks for last year. Weirder stuff has happened.
This storm skipped me over, so it better damn well deliver to someone else just as mentally unwell and starved for snow.

Imagine you could pick any county to live in NC and you picked Cherokee Co. Brutal.
I will gladly take my 4” on HRRR

Surprised my wife still gladly takes my 4".
There’s going to be some disappointed folks around here this weekend. The heavy band isn’t going to fall on everyone. Half are going to be excited and the other half disappointed. Just don’t know where that band is going to fall. The Raleigh NWS latest video talks about this. Good watch if you haven’t seen it.
