Interesting shortwave on the Day 8 GFS today, its definitely not a good setup for snow down my way, but it looks like it would evolve into something pretty ominous for you guys up there. Tip would be excited to see this I think...

Haven't seen the Euro members but several amid the GEFs like transporting a wave in that time frame of similar ilk, so it may be worth watching.  Also, the PNA is frantic in the progs at CDC.  Less so at CPC, but both still show oscillating index values from below to above 0 SD.   Each time it spikes, there ..perhaps equal probabilities for ridge expression in western N/A, which does prone the east for trough migration/amplitude.  There is in fact a stronger rise in the index D7-10 per last night's run...  

 

Worth keeping an eye to that time period imo

BOX's AFD hints that perhaps some type of zr advisory might be necessary.  I'm reading it as a slippery roads situation, not any ty.pe of accretion issue.  But, it is nice to see them talk of a flip to snow with a coating to an inch.  Perhaps that'll translate higher in some areas (ahem), but either way will help mask whatever damage the rains do.

 

I tell you what though, if the snow falls on flash-frozen roads that could make for some slick conditions.  Harkens back to whatever date that was around 2004/5.  Driving hell in ORH during the morning commute.

Nothing substantial on the back end of this cutter here in the models, and no chance at a big snow anytime soon. It looks like those of us up here will remain below normal in snow for a little while. Still looking for our big ticket item.

Not finding much support for accumulating snow on the backside...except the 2,000ft+ elevations.

 

All models I've looked at this morning may change over to a wet -SN/--SN at the end in the lower elevations (below 2,000ft), but the surface cold lags a good bit behind the H85 freezing line.  Surface freezing line follows more like -8 to -6C at H85, depending on elevation. 

 

Precip intensity looks light... I could certainly see some wet flakes at the end but getting anything to come down hard enough to stick and/or accumulate looks like a low probability right now.

I really thought that when I saw the 7:15 cast. Not trolling

 

Obviously you didn't actually think that since you've been forecasting a flash freeze and 1"-2" of snow on Monday. 

 

When people wake up Monday AM they'll be like... wow it's mild... then the bottom drops out by midday.

 

Still - doesn't look like a flash freeze. Temp drop is fairly slow and there should be a gap between the end of the precip and subfreezing temps.

I did think that. I usually massage your forecasts to get a feel . Sort of blend it in with other data

lol you're probably one of the most obnoxious posters on the board. 

 

Anyway... I'm wondering if we'll wind up with a period of freezing drizzle or sleet tomorrow midday.

Deep deep hurt. When friends hurt friends.

Yeah I could see a little fz scattered about. As cold as the ground is won't take much to create a mess

It will be a flash freeze here, or close to it. Maybe a little post frontal snow, but I guess hopes are fading there. LES will kick initially north.
