I would think the storm laying down snow in VA today would help us out with the temps for this weekend's storm. Maybe the models will trend colder once today's storm is cleared out. I just don't like that we have seen this movie before, where the models show something 10 days out and once we get inside 7 days it starts to turn to rain. I wish it were the reverse and it was rain 10 days out and then turned to snow inside 7 days, but it rarely seems to work that way.
But the last GFS run was better than the previous one with the snow amounts, so there's still hope.
