I will chase this to Richmond if Saturday's runs show 10"+ event.

One big rule of thumb for me is that north trends happen much more frequently and efficiently than south trends. That said, if you're going to get south trends, you tend to see them more in years with big blocks. As was said earlier, another 100 miles or so south with the parent, and this will be a big dog for many. And that is definitely doable.

I think I’d drive north on 85 instead of south...

Yeah, but my parents live in Greensboro, and I don’t have any family north on 85, haha. Greensboro looks to be in a better situation with this one than Durham most likely. I’d certainly rather be in Richmond, though!

Look how much the Wednesday system moved south compared to a couple of days ago. Seems to be the trend lately.

It does seem that this year, the south trend has been seen more than recent years. However looking back at 2009-2010, that year we saw a lot systems trend south before correcting a little north in the last 24 hours

I can’t ever remember getting snow with a Miller B that transferred from Kentucky to Hatteras. Maybe on the backside? I guess if it’s ever going to happen it would be the last half of January.

Yeah, I’ve always been under the impression the Miller Bs that work out for us transfer a lot further south than that. It seems like Miller Bs that actually work out for us have been few and far between the last decade or two...one of the reasons CLT and upstate SC have been in such a snow drought (they do comparatively better than GSO/RDU in Miller Bs according to Webber’s analysis).

Best chance is the front end finger of precip that sneaks in. Or if the damming is strong/deep enough, a brief change from zr/ip to sn on the backside, like you said.
