Everything looking good. 850 temps are still high but the crash should coincide with the precip arrival. Still wouldn't surprise me to see some initial rain/sleet quickly changing over. I'm gonna try and get another 45 min sleep. Good luck everyone!

One PWS I have set up north of Roanoke is about 5 degrees cooler at 35.2*.. One IMBY is 40.5* Only about 5 miles difference between the two stations.

 

 

It's not the surface temps -- it's 4000-8000 ft that are stubbornly warm. 

 

Bust- no flakes.

OK- snow falls 

Boom- coating -2 inches.
