WINTRY MIX OVERNIGHT LIKELY

ACA is now in another Winter Weather Advisory tonight through Tuesday morning, for a wintry mix of sleet and snow, and SHOULD transition to rain sometime after sunrise.  The advisory is for 1-2" of 'stuff' tonight, and 1-2" of stuff Tuesday.  With sleet and rain mixing in, totals should be held back...I will be more concerned with slippery roads than amounts.  A little snow and sleet goes a long way in assisting vehicles into ditches.

Onset is around midnight, with a better burst before and through sunrise in the morning.  We are getting above freezing today, and the forecast low is only in the 27-30 range, so not an icebox.  I would like to think any morning problems disappear later in the afternoon, unless the accumulations hold true.

The trusty GFS this season has only 1" for ACA, and the NAM is running 1-2", both less than National Weather Service guidance at this time.

  2. 7:40am...up to 32 degrees and approaching the 4" mark here at the end of Staymon. Shoveling has been very easy as it's not icy underneath.
