Definitely looks better for a front-end thump of snow than the GFS. I would love to see some front-end snow, at least…looks to be setting up for a MAJOR ice storm for many on this forum, regardless.

Looks like what typically happens in the front end of a Miller B with deep cold CAD

I’d be preparing for a major ice storm from Gwinnett and Northeast in Georgia

Central NC and down east, horrible track
This likely falls into the oh ---- territory 
I like power, please give the west trackCentral NC and down east, horrible track

Euro QPF is roughly 1.25 - 1.30 for GSP/AVL/CLT compared to over 2.00 on GFS
Modeling the CAD is always the trick. Moisture is NOT going to be a problem with this storm. It's going to be a very bad ice storm for many. Hopefully, most of the ice will be sleet and not fzrn. Whomever gets the fzrn it's going to be lights out, literally. Also, the winds are going to be high, esp once the storm rides up the coast.

Man those higher totals are so close! Getting excited here.
I am telling you...trust me...? knick off 2 to 3 degrees for Atlanta. I see this trending colder.

Lights out ?
Indeed, though I don’t quite see how it takes that track with such strong CAD. Seems like it would need to be another 50-100 miles east? But I’m a modernweenie .Central NC and down east, horrible track
At 96 hours, the GFS and EMCF have nearly the exact same placement of the 500Mb low. Where the difference and improvements come after that timestamp is because the EMCF continues the upper low ene across N. Ga. rather than Kentucky as the GFS does.
This amount of ice would not be a good situation at all.

Potentially nasty ice storm down to I-20. Impressive CAD signature. QPF amounts look a little wonky tho...I would think there would be more precip. Didn't see a ton of convection along the panhandle. Wonder what it could be. I have to be missing something
