I wouldn't count on it outside of the most CAD favored regions, and even then, the precip is going to need to get there.
If the Euro is right at H5, I'll probably have a 40 degree rain for most of the system.
I think this is one of those “trust the local Mets” storms. If you don’t have local knowledge on where you are or a degree then stop trying to forecast this 
My goal in life is to get a heart emolji from Coldasice...

My local met said I’m getting 6 inches of snow. Thats about as likely as me winning the lotteryI think this is one of those “trust the local Mets” storms. If you don’t have local knowledge on where you are or a degree then stop trying to forecast this

I'll admit they made a good call and can give them some props.
but....
I think they got lucky with how that northern branch energy trended. They never mentioned that in their briefings when they were making the north call.
I will be so glad when the next model run comes out. This 84 hour NAM discussion is just brutality.
Almost free and clear of this ordeal lol
Y'all are all going to flip out as soon as this thing starts moving south again 
That run needs to hurry up before chaos ensues
I can second that!
The NAM sucks this far out
You know if all the models were showing nothing and the NAM came out of nowhere and dropped a big clown map on us we’d be making fun of it. Well, actually we’d probably be rationalizing how it could come to fruition, but in the back of our minds we would know it’s just wrong, LOL!
Keep in mind this is what the NAM looked like this far out last storm….
Get ready for some oofs womps dohs and barfs. They're loading up as we speak!
You never want to be in the bullseye 5 days out. This storm is proof. Good grief. It’s like we’re slowly bleeding out lol
Wish we could have this situation in reverse, cutter that shifts south and brings us 6” of snow inside 3 days. Weird how that never happens.

At this rate, there may not be any moisture for the eastern half of NC….what a wild turn of events!
I have heard from almost a dozen folks from Atlanta saying they heard about getting X inches of snow on Facebook. It's a cruel, cruel world out here
They will see more snow on facebook then in their yards
The 0Z GFS tn is going to be the real tell. None of these models have a great understanding of this system.

While I don’t necessary fear the possibility of being stranded in Grenada this weekend, we booked two return flights as a precaution: either a Friday late night arrival at CLT or a Saturday early evening arrival at CLT. We’ll cancel whichever flight we don’t use as soon as the forecast firms up.
Cutting your vacation short for a foot of snow is sort of fun. Cutting it for an inch of ice is downright insulting.

I'm having to bite my tongue as I listen to the folks at work talking about all the snow we're getting this weekend.

You got alot of faith in the GFS man
We all watched the AI-models show winter storms for days straight. We had Webber and Bouncycorn on board with a truly legendary setup for a massive southern storm. We all said that if the rug got pulled on this storm that it would be the worst ever. Why do we even do this over and over and over just to get the same result. I should be able to drive 3-4 hours to see some flipping snowfall in this "legendary setup". I am just pouting but things went South when I bought a generator and Jimmy posted the cloud seeding pictures. Not tucking my tail and running for the hills yet, but its tiresome. I will lose a lot of credibility for looking out for my friends and family on this and so will a TON of local mets.

so much flagellating and resources goes into "communicating" and it absolutely doesn't matter because the majority of the public gets their info from social media and their apple weather app
What sucks is out West gets the Winter storm regardless of amp or not. Sure, it changes some from snow to ice but it just works out so much easier in the Western Deep & mid South lately. Dallas to Little Rock to Memphis to Nashville about to get another Winter storm with temperatures well below freezing. Been the same ole song & dance lately.

There was that G4 storm yesterday.Has there been any study on those types of storms affecting weather? Could it have affected the equipment that produces the models?

The cold is locking in on the traditional CAD areas, but to the south and southwest, it keeps going tick tick tick to the north.

The problem is that you tell them it won’t snow now and then you get a Superstorm 93 repeat
Mother Nature loves trolling like that
A lot of people are comparing this to the 2002 ice storm in NC. We saw around an inch of ice from Raleigh to the foothills.

You aren't one yet either big dawg. Humble yourself
