12z Ukie is suppressed. Through 7 am Monday morning precip is mostly confined to NC, TN, KY, and extreme southern VA.

FROM THE CURRENT OUTPUT

It says it was initialized 12z on Dec 3... yesterday.

Lock it in please. I’ll be back in DC next weekend through Monday. Just moved away last April, but in the 7 years I lived there, I only had one good nor’easter (my birthday weekend, Jan 2016). I deserve more than that. So lock it in please. 

Rather underwhelming so far here in Uptown, Chicago. It’s now 10 pm and while I can see the snow falling under the street lights outside my windows, for the most part it’s falling like rain. Doesn’t look even remotely close to accumulating yet. 

Rain now mixing with snow in Uptown in Chicago (2 blocks from Foster & Lake Shore Drive). Certainly no accumulation yet, but the timing of the changeover to mixed precip lines up with the anticipated timeframe. Now we’ll see if it’s over to all snow around 9 pm.

I’d be cautious looking at those 10:1 maps. Can’t see a scario where it approaches that ratio, at least for areas along the southern fringe of the main precip axis. 

The low levels are marginal. Granted heavy enough precip could cool the column sufficiently, but 10:1 would take a lot of luck. 

*sigh* I'll be in Houston next weekend to run the Houston Marathon, but sadly it appears likely the weather will be warmer than normal with higher humidity.  Basically awful running conditions, particularly for someone like myself who has been training in a mostly cool & dry environment here in DC.  Granted it isn't summertime heat & humidity levels, but it will still be quite the shock to my body to suddenly feel the suffocating effects of running in warmth & humidity after having not run in such conditions for a few months.  I used to live in Houston so I knew I was taking a chance running this race, but hoped for the best.  Actually I was just hoping for average conditions, but even that appears next to impossible at this point. *sigh*
