Can someone explain why exactly the Snow line not further west into upstate sc? I know it looks like it keeps trending better, but outside of the Mountains delaying the Cold, if this thing goes Neg tilt and closed off why wouldn't the upstate be in on some decent snow?

If I were to make a call map, I'd cut these totals in half as my first forecast. The main axis of snow looks to match up with history pretty well.
Gonna end up about a county or more NW, congrats all I-85 and NW of there

Big NW shift
This is why you don't really want a storm track through Southern NC to Hatteras if you want a lot of snow outside of the NW Piedmont.
Man that’s beautiful, don’t want to much of this tho, otherwise it’ll go to the shitter, but this trend is good for areas back towards the NW/western Piedmont given it closing off and slowing down
Cilmatologically soeaking, the sleet that shows up on this run of the HRRR for places north of 40/85 in Orange/Person/Durham doesn’t make sense.
I dunno, I feel pretty good where I am. I’d be worried if I south of 40 though but then again, climo.
I think we all(myself included) need to obviously be cautious with the clown maps with such a dynamic event.
The LP tracking through the state really isn’t ideal lol

Not ideal at all, only way we win with that is with backside snow, but imo that solution is better for us then the other ones given it would allow cold air to filter south more towards us vs the earlier solutions where it was more east, sort of liked a amped up Miller A, but looking at the mslp track now, that’s kinda ugly lol

The fact they are using ensemble members at this range instead of mesoscale models is mind boggling.
Gsp basically explains that
. THE MAIN QUESTION RELATES TO WHETHER OR NOT THE
ATTENDANT UPPER LOW CLOSES OFF OR NOT. IF THE UPPER LOW DOES CLOSE
OFF, EVEN BRIEFLY, IT WILL ALLOW A STRONGER AND SLOWER SYSTEM. THIS
WOULD ALLOW COLD AIR AT LOWER LEVELS TO PLAY "CATCH UP" WITH THE
MOISTURE AND ADD IMPORTANT MID-LEVEL FORCING THAT WOULD LIKELY
SUPPORT A WARNING LEVEL (4+ INCHES) SNOW EVENT AT HIGH ELEVATIONS
AND CEMENT ADVISORY LEVEL AMOUNTS INTO MOST MOUNTAIN VALLEYS,
POSSIBLY STRETCHING INTO SOME AREAS EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS (FOCUSED
FROM THE FOOTHILLS TO NC PIEDMONT).
Lol what happened to this model, it’s a complete outlier with the trends, it’s less amped this run
