Wintry January 14-16th storm potential.

Not seeing my fellow NC/Upstate SC peeps on here so that tells me what I wanted to know about my chances of snow...

but what is keeping the snow out of the NC Mountains? That's pretty surprising to see imo. Obviously it's temps but from a more technical standpoint?

It's not temps for people east of the apps. It's lack of moisture due to the trough orientation and lack of tilt at the right time.
 
Sucks seeing this and knowing we won’t see a flake ?View attachment 141779

Timing and or cold isn't making it there until the storm is passed.

Seems hard to get southern stream dominant winter threats imo. Every time it's northern stream vort and hoping it digs, amps, farts right at the perfect location. Nino or not it never seems to trek east anymore.

Yep. When I was a teenager in late 70s / early 80s, snow in Dallas meant it was ? gonna snow in Atlanta
