That mixing around  that time  is nothing new … you can see looking at the radar things will really start to dry out then for a few hours ..that’s just another reason why being under a good heavy band is key… The powerful thunderstorms are what is drying everything out even more at the moment… We all may not get a real big 2nd thump, if that keeps happening .. unless, we are lucky enough to stay cold  enough when the thunder-snow  bands move through later tonight/tomorrow

100% -Exactly what a lot of the models were showing. Front end thump like we're getting now (going on 3 inches right now at my house). And then a mix and then nothing and then back end snow

NAM showed the backend very well.

These totals in addition to the 2"+ have already in Chesterfield since this run just started? 

So that was a serious question. The OZ NAM-This is remaining snow right since this is the 00Z model and we already have snow down here? Is that how it works? @RIC Airport

Sorry, I overlooked your first question. I believe the model tries to account for what has already fallen. But it's not precise; it's only an estimate, so it's very possible it could be on the low end for your particular location. There will still be a transition to IP, maybe ZR before there is a period of a lull and rain before the back-end snows arrive late afternoon and evening.  All of this is location dependent; the farther north you are, the more likely you remain frozen through and through.

Thank you! Just saying I'm at 3" plus now at 23120. Moseley. I know we will turn at some point but definitely above what many thought already.
