WEATHER: All rain for ACA

While ACA was never much in the game for accumulating snow from this next system, it's now totally out of the game.  The incoming rains should help improve the likes of our ice-packed driveways and side roads, for which we'll all be thankful.


I was musing over this brewing storm while I was at work the end of last week, and it looked very nasty even as it started to take shape.  The expected snowfall from this storm is the biggest yet this winter, excepting earlier west coast storms, with a pretty large midwestern area pushing for 18"+ of snow.  (Click on the pic to enlarge)

For ye travelers, Boston looks to get hit fairly hard, as well, but the farther south you go down I-95 the more rain mixes in.  DC and Philly are spared, under current forecast paths.  If there is any light snow to accumulate in NC it will be on the wrap-around backside of the system, and relegated only to our far northern mountains.  None is in the ACA forecast, though cold air returns by the end of the week.
