SAY IT AIN'T SO...SORRY, MO' SNOW

We're not catching too many breaks these days.  Screaming in tonight into tomorrow is a system coming at us from TN promising a bit of accumulating snow.  ACA is in a Winter Weather Advisory from 7pm tonight until 1p Saturday. After our week of heavy snow, I suppose a 2-4" snow sounds do-able, but that's the broad brush stroke in the advisory.  Too, while we avoided it in the big snow, gusty winds loom more in the picture this go 'round, with the strongest in place Saturday morning.

My NAM has been flipping between 2-4" and 3-5", with the GFS so far staying in the 1-2" range.  There are some pieces of good news in all of this.....

Here at the end of Staymon last night's temps have held right around 29 degrees. Highs today warm up into the 40s for more melting. Precipitation this evening will start as a rain snow mix, with a changeover to all snow around 10p or so.  Warm ground will help cut back on any initial accumulations, along with the preexisting salt ready to continue to help out for longer.

Unfortunately, forecast low is around 25 degrees, with another 'likely' burst in the pre-dawn hours, where we would most likely see any big accumulating being done.  All pretty much tails off by noon-ish, and warmer temps do move back in....but it is what it is, sorry to say.  Mo' snow.
