    My wife watches WNEP in the morning before work, so I happened to catch Joe Snedeker's forecast this morning, and after the initial show of snow, he said the precipitation would be "showery" the rest of the day. So far, he seems to have barked up the right tree...

    Yeah just read the afternoon AFD from Mt Holly, Moderate to Hvy precip should move back in later toward evening,

    A "Watch" is just a "Watch".   It's like a placeholder announcement that can eventually become either a Winter Weather Advisory or a Winter Storm Warning depending on whether the forecast reaches the criteria at a location .   Just like a "Tornado Watch" can become a "Tornado Warning" or not and gets assigned to be some kind of other severe weather alert.  Or a "Flood Watch" can become a "Flood Warning" or a "Flood Advisory" depending on what is ongoing (or forecast to happen) at the time.

    It amazes me that some folks have a hard time distinguishing the difference between a watch, warning, advisory. Seems we go through this every year. I’m in the 4-6 range but my criteria for a warning is 6+ however due to the possibility of icing as well that’s likely why it’s a warning. Should be an interesting storm to watch unfold

    Another "concrete" storm coming to the LV next week. After an inch of two inches of snow on Sunday night,  2-4 more inches with sleet and freezing rain piled for good measures on Wednesday. This is the first year in at least a decade where I could not use my snow thrower as the "concrete" is just too dam heavy. Anyway, I am so tired of model fluctuation. The GFS and Euro said nearly foot yesterday are back down to less than 6 inches. I have come to the conclusion that models cannot handle the CAD AT ALL.  They should have a sleet and freezing rain clown maps to prove my point or better yet an overall CAD map with a severity index. Then the snow clown maps would be more realistic. Should not be hard to take the soundings of the major cities along the east coast and combine them into an individual  CAD map for easier visualization. If they can do it for snow, they can do it for freezing rain and sleet. And before any one barks. I know they have sleet and freezing rain maps already but an overall "potential CAD Formation Map with a severity ranking"would be nice in the model runs since this feature is not readily apparent to many amateur posters who just look at the clown maps for discussion.

    Even after yesterdays 60 degree temp I still have a decent glazed over snow pack, looks like a carbon copy of last week maybe a bit colder as there is no mention of plan rain in my forecast. Then another one possible next weekend
