A strange scenario to see the cut off low that brings such cold air yet has such an impressive ridge ahead of it. Its all timing and once this low cuts off, who knows how it will meander around. If it cuts off later we probably get through the rain faster and into the colder air. Ideally, we want to low to be cut off and slow down one the cold air is in place. The meandering low would give us plenty of energy to bring some nice snow rates.
