its working...positive vibes people..positive vibes.

12z NAM trending colder at the surface. I abhor ice, but at this point, it's like Matt's 3am at the bar analogy.

NAM might be too quick with the precip, but it would start as snow tomorrow night at say midnight and probably change over fairly quickly, but could lay down 1/4-1/2" snow/sleet and then a glaze on top...

Dry slot would allow the temp and dewpoint to decouple with southerly/southwesterly flow right at the surface... would warm things up a bit (more so than precip bringing down warmer air, anyway).

Thanks. Flow seems to have more of a SE component though? I thought the SE flow was what allowed damming against the mtns?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't see SW winds, but my eyes suck pretty bad.

Speaking of trends and granted that it is slight but the Euro trended from zero snow at 12z yesterday to at least a bit on the 0z, and the NAM has steadily increased snow to NoVa over its past 3 runs. Granted this amount of snow is next to nothing, but it is more than nothing at the same time.

I still think Sat ends up colder than modeled at the surface for a longer period of time.

Maybe something like January 2011? A bit of snow followed by a changover to sleet and 0.2" of ZR, then plain rain.

Much closer to what I think happens. Similar to the event at the end of Jan in 09 except that 1. that event was much more potent, 2. it had more cold to start with, 3. the low ended up going west of us which this one isn't going to do
