In a statement issued early Thursday, the National Weather Service predicted that 1 to 3 inches of snow could fall across metro Atlanta, with accumulations of an inch or less south of the city.

The last time there was measurable snow on Christmas Day was more than a century earlier, in 1882, when .3 inch accumulated.

wow!

I still see models that has CLT getting no snow

[Darth Urious]

the kicker is going to be the low pressure system coming up the coastline...

depending on its moisture path, we could be in for a big one... moreso than Charlotte, even...

they said on the news yesterday that the last time we had any measurable snow at RDU on Xmas day was in the 40's...

I'm betting we see at least 1 foot in central NC...

Is that a euphemism?

brtw, this system has jumped the shark.

Gonna take a Festivus miracle...which is always possible. We are pretty certain to see a few flakes, but nothing massive. Maybe not even an inch which is the criteria for being considered a white Christmas.

Weather.com was pretty consistent all along. TV told me it might hit 45 tomorrow.

Yeah, ok, so the models did a 180 today. This thing is looking pretty certain. Also looks like it will start earlier in the day than expected previously.

Weather models 7 days out, for winter weather, in the south are stupid. But, despite teh 180 to 180 to 180, it looks like CLT is assured of at least an inch. Could be more than 4 inches. Im being conservative. and of course, it could change...

and Merry Christmas yall.
