NAM still bringing the mix after about 8-10" for most of us and bullseyes the I-80 corridor.  We'll see if it leads the way or adjusts back in the next 24 hours.  

The "blues" are getting awfully close to southern tier snowhounds.

I'm sitting on the beach in Miami with a lot of interesting "sights" surrounding me, all while I'm perusing the f'ing NAM.

WTF is wrong with me?

back from philly and morgantown meetings.

HH Nam was a touch better wrt transition zone eeking south a bit from 12z.  sorta splitin hairs i know, but when your in that battlezones, a little can mean a lot.  Primary hangin too tough verbatim.

The nam is really pumping warmth into the 700mb layer. I call its bluff. 

something to be mindful of, is that if/when we taint, its pingerville and not rain.  I'd think tomorrow skew Ts can start being considered and will hold more weight once we define primary/secondary SLP placements and timing of jump to the coast.  Verbatim, HH Nam is a razors edge for lsv, with 850's still safe through entirety.  Thats a pinger signal if we ever saw one, and just a little wiggle south, can keep the pingers right on the M/D line, or if north, up to second tier souther counties.  If this look could hold, I'd sign right now and not fret the upside that it doesnt show for us southeasters.  A little move back south tonight and M/D line sees a nice bump in snow totals.  Really not sure how this cookie crumbles, but at least we've got the cookie firmly in our grasp.

As I was dropping some cold sandbags from my balloon and had a thought..  Generally, Im not a fan of depending on southern adjustment over the final 24 and go time, but I think this storm's going to do just that for the same reason that most of us thought this baby was getting suppressed. I'm not letting these model runs take me out of some of my original thinking. Well, at least i'm going use my original thinking to get my way.

Don't forget, storms can also make their own. 

True. But this is a fresh injection of Arctic air. It's not cold air. It's Arctic, on top of that. It hasn't been sitting around for a couple days. At this point, it's being drawn down Friday night. We might have some pingers, we're not going to change over to sleep or freezing rain plus a gps just when south now. And we have a very strong, high pressure versus the storm

Not buying the warmth pushing that far 

Since I signed up about 20 years ago I have read SO many people say this very thing leading up to winter storms. 

Not to say it will happen, but don't ever underestimate warm air intrusion. It often extends farther than we want to believe.

Yeah, this is something I've noticed many times over the years, where a skew-t gives a clear no-doubt-about-it all snow signal the whole way through the column and yet the output will say mix.  I have no idea what's going on in the algorithm that causes that to occur.  Anyone?

Doesn't seem like anyone's going to answer. I had a thought that's most likely wrong but I'll throw it out there anyways. I was thinking that maybe because it's modeled and not actually sampled there's other data points influencing the best guess.

Yeah, I mean, the guys are right that warm air can be a b**** but really anyone's guess at this point .But yeah, i'm kind of riding that same crazy train as you. Although on  my train sleet and pingers are the same thing.

We dont wanna listen, but to your point, us lower susqu'rs cannot ignore this.  

to the contrary, this isnt a miller A, this is a B that its coming more at us than up, and with the deep cold entrenchment in lower and mid levels, this is a situ where CAD could/should really show its teeth IMO.  If we had a 50/50, this'd b a storm of epic proportions, but based on progressive nature, not sure how big the warm nose will be.  Still need to root on quicker secondary pop, or less consolidation w/ primary.

Especially me. I think me and @Superstorm may be the most southeasterners on the board??

The floridians and their warm bias have corroded his mind, there's no saving him now.
