For the second wave the PV is killing us. It's squashing the heights off the coast and the system has no choice but to stay way to our south. FWIW 12z NAM has 0.5" total accumulation at KMMU.

I don't think this would be a snow event N and W right now either but more likely sleet or freezing rain, this could be a severe ice storm for someone and this includes coastal areas, the low level temps I think will be cold enough, its the mid levels that are more likely to be a problem.  This is one sort of setup where the coast can get a decent ice storm.  We had an event like this in 1/96 where the coast saw a good 5-6 hours of FZRA before eventually going to snow and picking up a couple of inches, it was similar with an arctic airmass bleeding in from the NW slowly.

Soundings show mainly mid-30s type temps for the city and coastal regions. If there was more of a high to the north I could see it, but to me this looks like a miserable, 34F-type rain event for most.
