Keeps almost ALL OF NORTH CAROLINA in Freezing/Frozen in the next 12 hours, and just about ALL of South Carolina (except the Southern and Central Coast of South Carolina frozen ..)

Is your map saying 15 inches of snow for Raleigh, Storm? I mmay be reading that map wrong.

maps like that do not take into account freezing rain etc. If it is below freezing it will only think snow, but if it were to stay all snow...maybe just maybe :)

That's the ETA 48 hour accumulated totals (ONLY) ... that's the 00z run, and will soon change to the 12z RUN .. (BTW, it's taking into account both waves and also, does take in ZR/IP as well.)
