This is\was never going to be the issue. It always struck me as a cold maritime airmass, dead gradients and a dealers choice of where the moisture goes. Someone will still probably get a surprise or two. Who or where, who knows. It will be the most interesting week of winter weather, even if it doesn't snow. Oh well.

Could still trend north again but we are running out of time. Unfortunately, this is not a promising trend. :x

Odds are great to see flurries.

I think the odds of accumulating snows at sea level are next to nil the next few days.
