According to 12z GFS ensemble members and the OP(accumulated snow depth) at 132:

 

9 of the 11 have at least 1"

7 of the 11 have at least 3"

4 of the 11 have at least 6"

 

I am going to assume that sleet accumulation is included in the maps

 

EDIT: I see WxUSAF ninja'd me some

 

According to 18z GFS ensemble members and the OP(accumulated snow depth) at 132 (I used 132 since 18z GFS holds on to frozen precip a lil longer than 12z did):

 

10 of the 11 have at least 1"

6 of the 11 have at least 3"

4 of the 11 have at least 6" (another is really close)

 

Once again, I am going to assume that sleet accumulation is included in the maps

Probably some rain accumulation too ;)

Too bad ground will still be warm from the 60s on Thursday...thought I might be able to use my new snow blower on a clearing job this weekend to get the ice pellets off teh driveway and sidewalk

Maybe next month, although longer days pose a different kind of challenge

 

not exactly... we'll have a few colder days between Thursday and this storm, so that will take care of that issue.

Have a friend named Jacque Le Kiboche' at the ECMWF who gave me a free 0z euro preview.  Here is our coldest panel.  Blue contour is 32 degrees at surface....

I didn't know there was a MS Paint contest!

 

It gon' snow.  (or sleet or something).  At some point.  Mark my words.

If this CAD is legit it will be a significant event for NW portions of CWA.  What is nice about the last few runs, is it stays cold for a long time.  I just don't like the idea of being 45 degrees and rain 6 hours after the onset of precip

You know as well as anyone that never happens.. GFS temps on a 100+ hour forecast in a CAD situation are never reality.
