meh, I'm not too worried about snow melt....cant even see tips of the grass yet here. It is 35 and mostly cloudy but in January thats not a recipe for rapid melt. Once we near the 4 oclock hour that pretty much puts a wrap on that. In regards to the areas that do keep a snowpack. I will not be shocked to see areas hold a WWA for FZ drizzle. While the snowpack won't cool it down enough for snow...it will absolutely give WAA hell trying to takeover. We've seen situations before where post warm front snows it was expected to turn over to rain/drizzle and ended up never happening and being left with a wintry mix all day until the low move off to the NE. I have really high hopes of taking 6''+ of snow (3-4'' leftover from here and 4+ tomorrow) in to Thursday and hopefully beyond. Its already heavy water content so its gonna take more than a couple days in the mid to upper 30s in January to rid it

 

Agree - minimal melting will occur today...No grass showing at all & Delaware airport still reporting 30F as of 11:30...Marion reporting 32F. A few hours of hazy January sunshine with temps in the low 30s isn't going to have major effects on the remaining snow cover at all.

The talk at school here is only an inch or two because “their app says so.”

Ya know... We should make an App

UK did shift the band southeast a bit for those on the line.

My wife is a teacher too in the WCSD.  No one prays for a snow day more than the teachers!  😀

IMO, a fairly uncommon situation here with a seemingly/hopefully significant front end snow in some areas.  With a low tracking near MBY, I'll certainly be happy with a few inches then having it survive the warmth before heading into the late week for a fresh topping.

I will make sure I get out and shovel as early as possible, my 1-3 inches, before the rain starts to create my snow piles which will hopefully last more than a day...

We should. Get on it, lol.

As I've tried to (kindly) tell everyone, those apps are meant for broadband/wide-focused forecasts. They can't predict banding. They certainly can't know the finite details that are so important with systems like this one.

Light snow has begun here. Already getting light accumulations. Especially on the little pond that's iced over nearby.

Well, our local tv met, Sean Ash just literally was talking to be ready for cancellation in the morning, 

He’s really talking it up and how bad it’ll be trying to drive in the morning 

It was a detailed segment. On midday news,.

Oh!! 
He also said, having just had heart issues this will NOT be snow to mess with if you plan on shoveling! 

Scary, indeed

It should be a law that once you turn 40, either buy a snow blower, or hire a kid.  😀

Very nice QPF field. Love systems that tap that STJ/GOM moisture.

Yikes the south trend continues. How’s the radar looking compared to models right now?

[Wnwniner]

My first shot at drawing a snow map. What do you guys think?

[RobB]

37.2 degrees.  A decent day out with some filtered sunshine....

This is pretty much what my TV Mets are saying.

[easton229]

I think my car thermometer isn’t right or else we’ll have an issue getting snow 😂

[Iceresistance]

Everything is snow-covered, even parts of the road and all of the driveway. It's 31°F outside

Probably the Ukraine.  They seem to be holding their own with Russia.
