Wintry January 8-9 Wintery Weather Potential!

Im at 34/32 forecasted to bottom out at 35. Heavy precip bands keep coming and slowly bringing down temps, GSP says winds N10 and gust to 17. Im wondering how low we can get before the good stuff comes in later today. Nam doesn't look as good as the HRRR and RAP for later but is also starting off 2-3 degrees above what we're actually seeing. Later today should be very interesting.
Has the ull done came thru the upstate yet
 
This is the thickest wettest coldest largest rain I’ve ever seen .. definitely mixed with snow and slush ... I can tell it’s probably heavy snowing about 100 meters above me ! ?
 
Precip depiction radar not looking great ATM for central NC. Looks like NW NC and SW Virginia may make bank over the next couple of hours. Then it’s just off and on snow showers the rest of aFriday. May be wrong, but I don’t believe we will see those 6+ inch forecasts come to fruition.

If we see something the the HRRR and RAP happen then these may be underdone. Looks like we'll be watching temps and the redevelopment of the precip all day.
 
When is this redevelopment going to happen
According to both the HRRR and RAP we should see radar start to fill in soon (maybe next 1-2 hours). This is what is making the forecast for this storm so hard though, because if this band of snow that models are calling for doesn't form then the best we can hope for is a few snow showers. If you're talking specifically the upstate if anything goes wrong with this redevelopment the best we can hope for is maybe some showers or a mix because it is already very close for us.
