this looks to be a fairly quick hitter here, modeled snow is right now from about 4 PM to 4 AM but this reminds me of those storms where dry air really eats at the back side and the end of snow comes flying through 3 to 4 hours before expected
Temp down to 29. Freezing rain in full swing. Accumulating quickly on elevated surfaces and cars. Once the temp drops a bit more it’ll start icing up roads as well
After the next 7 days or so, the polar air really looks to get scoured from the CONUS and southern Canada, not saying it'll be warm or torch by any means but our window for highs in the 20s and lows below 15 is quickly coming to an end
Lots of dry air aloft and things looking a bit convective. Feel like this will end up as a long period of freezing drizzle with occasional sleet when the convective showers hit
06z NAM gives us about 18 straight hours of sleet, with it still going at the end of the run. Only about .2 of liquid equivalent accumulation so would be light overall better than freezing rain I'd say
not great here, mostly dry end to last year, barely any precip so far this winter. definitely need some soakers this spring after the frost leaves the ground
over half my yard is now bare grass, should be down to just patches by Wednesday evening. The remaining areas are hard packed ice and snow from the last week of december.
