Agreed. The winds should disrupt the crazy ratios people are throwing around.

Winds don't impact ratios was my understanding.....

Do you mean it won't stick in any one spot because of blowing and drifting? Because that's different.

Not worried about temperatures today. We have been over this before. Previous day's temperature has minimal to zero effect on snow sticking the next day.

 

Sun angle is a bigger concern, if anything.

I am not worried about temps at all. My initial comment was a nowcast obs to see what may happen later. In an ever-changing atmosphere, you never know what may sneak up on you. We're all trying to learn something, including the pros I would hope. I do appreciate all the responses.

OH MY!!! Read DT's self proclaiming weather god!!! You almost want things to fail so he can fail!!! Anyways, seriously thinking the 20:1 may only happen on the NW fringes of this thing and then there is less precip there so it offsets. The winds and drifting are gonna make the measure very very hard! CWG of a broad brush 4 to 7" looks good and I bet a few folks get 8 to 10 but in local areas, especially if we get some convection going but pinpointing the banding local stuff will be what tomorrow is all about!! 

 

Edit: should have also said the 20:1 may be closer to at the end of the event too.. but seriously, I am not met - believe them and be happy for anything greater than 10:1...

I don't think it's an issue but this has to be about as warm as we ever get in Jan ahead of accumulating snow.

Any flakes that come to early would have a problem sticking for a few short minutes, I doubt we'd lose anything to it really. Rooting for it to come in late.
