I'd love to get excited about this, but with temperatures perhaps approaching 60 around this area tomorrow, I'm still quite skeptical. It's pretty clear snow will fall, and I'll probably need to dust off my Chevy.... but am having trouble believing roads will get snow to stick unless we see some heavy stuff...

new models do not have us getting that warm any more

When it gets below 30, with a decent snow rate, it hardly matters anymore.

euro has led the pack all along on this one it seems but it probably has too much qpf (or did last run). it did show 65+ a few runs back for tomorrow too.

yes but i think it was the first to back away from 65 while other models held on longer

I am pretty sure we are going to have a MECS/HECS in the first week of march

Yeah, I mentioned over in the look ahead thread that the GFS sure looks stormy and gradually colder each run. I hope it keeps going. Cold and snowy until March 15 would suit me fine.

15.8" Dave. Average is around 25".

A nice solid 5-7" would slap you pretty close to your norm then. Not to shabby with all the nickel and diming this season.

I still think we fall short here in the burg of our normal 24-25" but again is a Nina and a wacky one at that too

And besides, once temperatures get into the upper 20's, snow sticks. Especially at night.

I've observed that There's more factors that go into snow sticking to the ground, especially asphalt/concrete, than just temp. 2 weeks ago we got 3-5" of snow in about a 6-8 hour window overnight/early morning, temp was 28-29 for most of the event (high the day before event was 40)...we only had wet streets. On the other hand, I've seen it stick to roads during the day with a temp of 33.

Good luck though! Turning out to be interesting!

If models are correct, you'll do fine. I should've said OKV, but I've been weenieing out over the maps for my back yard.:hug:

Thanks. I hope everybody cashes. I really like the trends. Hopefully the Euro stays the course. I'm hoping to wake up to warnings, but almost afraid of what I'll see in the morning.

No measurable snow here since 1/28. We're due.:drunk:

Same here, hope we're all pretty happy in the end! I wouldn't expect there'd be warnings issued in the morning yet, probably watches I'd think at that point...that is, assuming the situation would warrant such a thing (a big assumption right now, but just going with it)!
