12/2 Cold Rain and High Elevation Snow

[EastCoast NPZ]

Got to see first flakes yesterday here and snow flurries while getting our Christmas tree at the farm.  It was a great day.

I'll be in NC Tuesday.   I'll be sick if I miss an accumulating event here.  Just sick. I take solace in knowing it likely won't pan out in the Valley.

WB 12K NAM is a miserable, cold  rain for most. At least it brings drought denting rains and an energized storm through the area.

It seems like we need legitimate arctic air intrusions to get snow here now.

GFS appears to be a baby step in the right direction. more south

Whatever model shows rain is the one to bet on. Weenie Handbook, page 5.

I think those who were saying less amp called it, and gfs took a step in that direction. Not saying its gonna snow, its too warm for the lowlands. Still thinking coating to 2” slop far NW of fall line.
