Lol, the dry slot over GSO. ?

We're not talking about that right now Ollie...

Plus the heaviest precip is South East of GSO, 4 days out. Right where I want it...

Damn, that’s a nice deform looking band View attachment 62436

That's going to be what it takes for my area and likely RDU to really score here

I think you're close but that elevation needs to be considered more for the areas in red as opposed to their Piedmont Counterpart. A lot of people forget that even Hendersonville has a higher elevation than Asheville, Sylva or Marshall. I think those areas will do good here.

Asheville and Hendersonville are essentially at the same elevation, both around 2100' although im sure the elevation varies some.

Just curious. What is the southern extent of the upstate ? Are Greenwood and Newberry in the upstate ?

Northern Upstate is Oconee, Pickens, Greenville (more north of Simpsonville), Spartanburg (Woodruff north), Cherokee county and Gaffney. Central upstate is Anderson, southern Spartanburg and Greenville counties, Laurens, and Union. Southern upstate is Abbeville, Greenwood, and Newberry. Western upstate is Greenville county to the west and west of I26 once you get into Laurens County, eastern upstate is Spartanburg county towards the east and east of I26 in Laurens.

Hendersonville sits higher than Asheville. Nothing I said wasn't factual.

Hendersonville: 2152'
Asheville: 2134'
Sylva: 2,036′

Hendersonville sometimes get's forgotten in regards to elevation because of it's lack of proximity to some of the higher mountains in NC (Smokies for Sylva, Black Mountains for Asheville) but it does in fact sit higher.

Is Rock Hill in the upstate ?

Thanks for confirming that Asheville and Hendersonville are essentially the same elevation.

A lot of people also do not realize that the French Broad River actually flows North through the mountains of NC. Where as the FB River Valley in it's headwaters in Transylvania and Henderson is a relatively flat plateau, it is actually higher in elevation than it's Madison County river counterpart and all their beautiful Canyons and Peaks that if flows through. Quite the illusion.

Upslope helps out that area for sure. The highest totals from this storm very well could be from those areas transylvania and Henderson countys.

That's funny battle to fight and lose, especially to someone who lives here, but carry on with the banter if you so choose. Point being, the elevation of the Southern Mountains is much higher than the Piedmont areas of the same shade, and I feel are better situated for better snow chances. The models tend to agree.

Why is Wake always on the line?

Hope the Icon is truly iconic this time.

Agreed, the Southern Escarpment shines with these setups. Especially around Highlands, Cashiers, et al.

Not really asheville along the French broad drops as low as 1700ft in some locations hendersonville is on a plateau.

GFS coming in further south from 6Z and more inline with the 12Z. Snow breaking out across the upstate by 4am.
