WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY: SNOW

After our last dumping, the talk of 2"-4" of snow is more of "I got this."  ACA is under a Winter Weather Advisory (click for text) from noon today through noon Saturday.  The advisory is for elevations above 3500' (upper half of ACA), with lighter accumulations down into the valleys.

Working in our favor are the warm ground temperatures (a very relative term) and all the rain we've been having to knock back remaining snow piles.  However, lows Saturday are forecast to drop into the mid and upper 20s, which if sustained long enough will help create some iciness along with any wet snow.

The 2"-4" in the advisory seem to be spot on.  The odd-model-out NAM has 8" very close by, and the Euro trends to the 4" mark (click on images to enlarge...big dots are ACA):

Travel will be slippery, but Nature should take care of clearing off any road problems with highs above freezing...unless, of course, the doomsday NAM comes to pass and dumps again.  Just a touch of poor sarcasm, there...

And as we head into the big Christmas holiday, no weather woes are expected.  Praise the Lord and pass the potatoes!
