Dammit now we have to hear about how its never gonna snow again until it snows again....

No one, including myself is complaining about a solid advisory level event on the second day of meteorological winter to kick off the season. We’ll still have our chances this season to break the streak, hopefully.

Some flizzard yesterday, but now it's looking like the next discrete event is Saturday into Sunday.  Evolution looks pretty similar to the one on the 2nd.  Another quick hitting 2-4" event.

Initially, it looks a little colder than the last system, so perhaps there's less concern for mixing in the southern areas.  Fairly decent agreement amongst the major models for a synoptic event at this range, though.

The smaller details will have to get worked out later.

Mid 30s sfc temps should preclude much if any accumulation regardless of p-type.

Your probably right for the most part, but it was 11 degrees here this morning, then clouds moved in before any real sun could warm surfaces up. If we get a thump in the early morning hours, even if temps are marginal, it should have no problem accumulating especially on any subfreezing surfaces.

Looks like more shots at some snow this weekend. Hopefully we can score a couple more events in the next 10 days, as it looks like the pattern is going to break down around Christmas. Who knows if it will actually happen that way or for how long, but ensembles are coming into agreement some sort of relaxation may be on the way. NWS seems to be biting onto this possibility as well.

Confidence is increasing in a several day period where we have
high temperatures some 15-20 degrees below average in the cP
airmass through the weekend with highs in the 20s and lows in
the teens or single digits. Cold air being entrenched across
the region means any additional disturbances are likely to
produce snow as the prevailing precip type areawide. While the
overall pattern appears messy and ensembles are clearly
struggling to agree on timing and intensity of any given wave,
confidence is increase in at least one more shot at snowfall
over the weekend before long term guidance finally has the
eastern Canadian longwave trough breaking down. Stay tuned for
more details as we get closer and confidence increases.
