Winter Storm Update, 12/5

I'm going to make this update as simple as possible to avoid confusion. Here are the bullet points at 8:30 am on Thursday morning:

  • We already have some areas in Region 8 at or below freezing. 
  • The freezing line will move from the NW to the SE through the day.
  • Precipitation will increase through the day.
  • Once you hit 32 or below, the rain will be considered freezing rain.
  • Tonight and Friday is when the precipitation accumulates.
  • Freezing rain and sleet at the start.
  • Many areas switch to all sleet between 3-7 am Friday morning.
  • Many areas switch to snow by lunchtime on Friday.
  • I have no idea if you will lose power or if your kids will go to school. LOL :)
  • This is a bad storm, but not as bad as 2009 because we should switch to sleet.
  • Another round comes on Sunday and looks like it will be freezing rain.
  • The coldest air in over a decade comes in next week.
Here's a map of the POSSIBLE accumulations. Look at the low end and high end of the range:

I will update you through the day on Twitter at @ryanvaughan and will try to update the blog later today. Have a great day!
