I'm glad someone else is noticing how much melting occurs at bitterly cold temperatures. I was questioned about that when I said something earlier in the thread. 

Yea I notice also. The woods behind my house have a southern exposure and the ground is showing now where it didn't yesterday.

And the deer noticed it.

Latest afternoon model runs seem to argue that the low end of Dave's D-zone has a pretty good shot at verifying....ie, 4".  Not unreasonable at all.  Also, looks like most of our area does not rise above freezing until after dawn Tuesday morning, not mid to late Monday evening.  I still think we see warning-criteria ice here.  We'll see pretty soon.

12z EPS ensemble mean shows 3-4 inches of snow for this event through most of the CTP region.

The best part is that the EPS continues to advertise a winter pattern re- load. We will warm up for about 5 days, & then step back down the last week of the month into a pattern with the trough in the east. The EPS snow map by the end if the run on day 15 , which takes us to the end of the month, shows around 8 inches near Harrisburg, & over 10 inches to the north & west through the CTP region.
