Does the possibility exist for NC/SC to get some snow?

So far it appears the models are trending further north, upper Mid-Atl and NE. As per the current models does it look like there is anyway the Carolinas could benefit from such a snowstorm?

It doesn't look good for a Carolina snowstorm, however, there have been good radar echos within the last couple of hours. The water vapor imagery looks encouraging also, but the lower levels are rather dry. It should be noted that even if the storm came closer to the cost, the 800 to 875 mb temperatures are above 0 for SC and some of NC, so sleet and maybe freezing rain would occur. But, in general, the wave is too far off the coast for phasing.
