As WAR expands, do our snow chances increase? First wave may produce a middling event-solid advisory and possible low end warning for MLK Weekend

[Kitz Craver]

Coated up nicely and snowing moderately 

[Sn0waddict]

Under some good echos but it’s just big fat flakes that aren’t sticking. 33F. Trying to remain optimistic but it’s getting harder and harder to. Where is the damn cold?

You started as rain?? This definitely was not modeled with that slow cold push . About 3/4” of paste here . Still 32

Dropped from 40 to 34 pretty quick so I'm hoping for snow soon.

Guys, looking at the radar really is blossoming quite a bit. I think we're going to do okay ( And there's a lot of talk of it underperforming ), But looking at the radar from the south of us, it is really filling in nicely and not just heading east.

marginal temps in Holyoke (31.6/30.4) but fully coated..

It’s a narrow band that stretches for me to you.  I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an orientation like that which was so narrow. What causes that from a meteorological perspective?

It’s all tight frontogenesis…ie a strengthening midlevel front. The wave progressing through along it is slowing it down. E-SE flow and weak WAA ahead of it and N-NW flow west of it with CAA. 
Check the convergent flow at H85 near where the band is now.

After about an hour of light rain it’s been snow since about 5 but white rain.

Cold comes right after the dry slot approaching as precip shuts off.

Nada here. Everything still wet.  To be optimistic I will say the radar down by Delaware looks pretty good.  Praying that doesn’t slide east of us or weaken.

was just going to say it's amazing how stubborn temps are to drop, was supposed to tank when heavier rates came in, still 32.3 here.. No problem accumulating though 

[Kitz Craver]

Ripping now. Roads covered

First flakes......stiff wind to boot.
