This is going to be a tricky forecast.  Especially with that second low forming on the front.   Even if it's initially warm/rainy, we could see some serious icing then some snow on the back side.

GFS taken literally would be a wild storm. Heavy rain, sleet, freezing rain, then high ratio snow with a flash freeze thrown in.

I would never want to bank on the back end snows... Would rather bank on the front end thump to dry slot concept...

I usually agree but this really isn't your typical back end changeover snow that never comes deal. It's a different wave that blows up with cold air more then plentiful.

the back end snow on the 18z run was simply a 500mb jet max passing by, putting us in a brief sweet spot for lift. the soundings aren't that impressive, but this does seem to be the kind of pattern where multiple vorts come into play. it's as likely as any other operational run out there for the time being.floop-gfs-2019011418.500wh.us_ma.gif.b51b13fdfd48f9bd97a632a3b3909ea2.gif

some gfes members split the system into two parts with the second being all snow. that's our best hope
