As I crack open a “snow cap” beer (still clinging to hope!), I fear I must concede defeat.  Snow geese or no, we ain’t gonna make it to 4″.  Maybe my bird lady is right with her poo poo.  It seems that we spent a lot of our available moisture into cooling the atmosphere below 3000ft.  It seemed to take forever to get the column cooled…so many precious drops wasted!

So at this point, the light snow that will persist over the next several hours won’t be enough to overcome the wet, just-at-freezing surfaces to achieve the higher accumulations i was looking for.  At my house, I have a decent coating on the ground and my deck (insert joke here), so the real accumulating can begin, however much that will be.  My thinking now is that we will see steady light snow for another hour and then snow showers after that thru the middle of the night.  1-2″ is what it will be.  But the real danger is going to be the black ice.  The temps should really begin to drop in the next couple of hours and after midnight the roads will be a lot like ice rinks.  Be very careful tomorrow morning!  peace, trex
