We're definitely into nowcasting and latest reports from southern DE indicate 2-3" already on the ground there and warnings going up. Doesn't necessarily mean our snowfall predictions should be increased, as they got "extra" snow due to unanticipated increased intensity, which may not happen here, but it certainly shows the potential with this storm, especially since it also might be a little harder to dislodge the cold air in place than is being modeled.

SOME REPORTS ACROSS SOUTHERN DELAWARE INDICATE THAT 2-3 INCHES OF
SNOW HAS ALREADY FALLEN WITH MORE ON THE WAY, AND THEREFORE WE ARE
UPGRADING SUSSEX /DE/, AND CAROLINE AND TALBOT COUNTIES TO A
WARNING. WE ALSO ADDED MORE OF A TRANSITION ZONE OF FREEZING RAIN
AND SLEET THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN ZONES AS ADDITIONAL WARMING ALOFT OCCURS WITH MORE OF A LAG
IN THE WARMING AT THE SURFACE. GIVEN THE ARCTIC AIR THAT HAS BEEN IN
PLACE, DESPITE A CHANGEOVER TO RAIN LATER SOME ICING SHOULD OCCUR
EVEN WITH TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING GIVEN RATHER
COLD SURFACES.

Agree RU . Snowgoose and I talked about this yesterday . We saw this last year .  ( FRZ with temps at 33 /34 ) 

I think a WSW will get def get posted for the interior later .

Some are just starting too deep in the hole and will not come out of it until the damage is done .

Also, the sun did not get a chance to heat up the surfaces today. Up to 12 deg. here now. Dew pt. -1
