Ain't going to lie...I was thinking about that a few hours ago. 

The thought had crossed my mind earlier this afternoon/evening. Now that one was hoisted for the Blue Ridge Mtns, I wonder if we'll see more hoisted overnight, and if so, who gets them.

Is this at least somewhat like living in Denver? Several hours ago I was walking the river trail in a short sleeve shirt. Potential blizzard conditions hours later. By Monday, sun and near 60 again. 

Good times to be a weather fan. 

Last year, I think in September, out in the Denver area they were experiencing record high temps near 100 degrees.  Later that same day they were under a Winter Storm watch with temperatures in the 90s...(later a warning) for temperatures plunging into the 20's with six inches of snow by noon the following day.  That is easily the most extreme example of the weather flipping from summer to winter in a matter of hours I've ever heard of.  My brother-in-law lives in Golden, the foothills west of Denver and reported to me about those conditions.  That makes today going into tomorrow look practically like a mediocre event...lol.

I remember that event. If I'm correct, they didn't have much problem with getting the snow to accumulate on paved surfaces either, despite the previous high temperatures.

I remember many years ago, the Phillies were playing the Rockies in Denver. Game time temps were close to 60 and by the 9th it was 36 and snowing.  It’s was one of those long game slugfests that would happen a lot in Denver.

Yes.  It did accumulate on the highways.  NWS warned of that in their warning.  It took the two ingredients you always need....temps below freezing, the lower the better, and sustained heavy rates of inch per hour or greater.  That's why I'm expecting no problems with road accumulations here tomorrow.  The temp will be getting progressively colder, and we'll have several hours of fantastic rates.  I don't expect the roads to have as much as the grass, but it won't be far behind.

Another update from MU: (2nd half of Anotherman's earlier post)

2/2 In addition, strong upward motion in the Dendritic Growth Zone (DGZ) means that snowfall rates of 1-2" per hour are likely for a few hours. And yes, with dynamics this impressive, I expect there to be at least some incidents of the elusive #Thundersnow! Maps:
 
 

thundersnow would be amazing. i think its been 6 or more years since we've had any here

This is not 93 but it does have a lot of hallmarks from it.  Just moving much faster.

You’d be surprised how fast the 93 superstorm moved. It actually occurred during a +NAO state. The low center went from the northern Gulf off the FL Panhandle to exiting New England in about 24hrs or so. Obviously the insane phasing situation and setup made that a way bigger storm.. This one’s still dynamic though and it has the far reaching significant cold to tap into as well.
