Winter Storm FAIL next week

With the extra snowcover (very compact and Icy for more duration), and ok high pressure to the north, the 00z GFS, Euro, would probably end up snow to Ice.

Too early to tell, but I'd bank on ZR with this one if it does not shoot well inland and/or strengthen to our south, increasing warm flow/wind speed.

Glad I can finally use "snowcover" as false hope.

Besides the start of the event.. (which could be a snow or ice..) I think a lot of folks south of MD/PA line will go to rain when the bulk of the precip gets there. If the low truly amplifies the way it is currently being modeled... the primary low will track west of the Appalachian mountains (exact track not know..) If a secondary develops once it gets closer to the east coast is too early to tell.. and would determine if areas further north will change over or not..

Unless you like ice.. (there could be a legit ice threat..) we'll have too see how much CAD will occur with the high that is currently being modeled as the storm approaches from the south-west. If that holds on tough... could be heck of an ice storm....to south of those that stay snow..

06Z GFS looks very promising for NoVa on north. 138 hour shows the 850 line up to the Mason Dixon line but you would have to think that most of the precip has already fallen before then. The surface has a nice CAD signature and with the low transferring I would think that would be hard to erode quickly. This looks like a major thump of snow NoVa on north with it ending as some sleet or freezing drizzle towards the southern sections of the area.

GFS MOS is all ice down my way. --

That thing is cutting pretty far west..makes hit hard to scour the cold air out this far south .

BTW, 12z data looks like snow and folks use the term likely and now cuts west and folks used the term likely. 5 days away---

If the 06Z were to verify I would think that areas in Southern Va away from the coast would be looking at a major ice storm. Can't seem to pull up the 138 hr surface temps but find it hard to believe that the CAD would be eroded that quickly with that set up.
