Pv placement may allow for Nc/sc to get a decent band of precip this run, thing is will apps delay our CAA ?

Temps crash from 50s to the low 30s on the warm biased icon as Far East as the Nc piedmont, hmmm
They are crashing very fast. From the 60 range to lower 40s in 2 hrs into the Midlands even.. might work out!

Icon increased again it appears.
Why does the icon show these random low pressures developing on the lee side of the mountains? Lee trough ?
Wish we could see 850s on the ICON

For the “warm” model that’s very good for Alabama
0z Icon is Very Very Cold.
1-0 so far looks solid here.
ICON looks really good.
it’s inching east every run. Lol

Even Icon has parts of Atlanta around 2-3 inches. Very sharp cutoff in the metro though and I don't get anything.

A lot of that will depend on how quickly the changeover can occur. I like that bullseye near Jackson, MS.1-0 so far looks solid here.
I can say, at least we now have something to track that has a better chance at verifying since it's in the 5 day window. With this "clipper-type" system, some will get a good amount of snow, very little or none at all. The front will move quick, and so will the snowfall, so, the snowfall amounts will be limited. But, some areas will get a "dumping" of snow in a short period of time.

So just like last year? (I live on the east OTP, just outside the cutoff line)
The reason why there's a sharp cut off, is due to the mountains. The moisture will have a hard time making it over the mountains.

It's mostly because the cold air doesn't get here in time. If the Icon does infact have a warm bias, it's likely snow extending further east than what it's showing. GFS/Euro paints brighter pictures for us with the CAA advancing further east more rapidly..
The icon accumulation map depicts the topography very well. The usual climo favored areas should do well. Hopefully the southwestern mountains of North Carolina get something out of this being they were shut out of the December storm.
