Rather than fight the snow & ice on the roads today (and the inevitable traffic snarls) I decided that discretion was the better part of valor and stayed home. So far my prediction from Sunday looks good as it is 9:30 a.m., a pleasant windless snow is steadily falling, and we have at least 1.5 inches on the ground. A peek at radar showed the back edge of precipitation for this first system to be east of the Blue Ridge, so this period of snowfall won't last much more than another hour or so. But the next system is chugging our way with more snow, this time with some warm air intrusion aloft that will also provide sleet and freezing rain through tonight (oh, yay).
Since the surface low is supposed to track west of us we should wind up in the warm sector tomorrow with everything turning to rain, but I'm not sure exactly when that will occur. Thus, I doubt that I'll get an early start to work tomorrow since I'm not a fan of ice skating at all, whether on skates or in a vehicle.
