Early, as usual. Occasional light snow will pick up during the day. There will be a changeover to sleet and freezing rain at some point in the storm, but I'm not sure when. This storm is a total crapshoot.
Right now, there is heavy snow going on all the way down to New Orleans. All they need is 5 inches in one storm to get an all time record, and its snowing at 1-2 inches per hour. So...they will most likely get a top ten snowfall today, with an outside chance of an alltime record.
I mention New Orleans because that wasn't expected. This storm is already surprising forecasters. The storm, so far, is much warmer than originally expected, to the point where there is plain rain falling in Manchester, though it should start to freeze soon. If forecasts verify, the temps will slowly drop this afternoon, and hold steady tonight. But I don't have a lot of confidence on any forecast with any computer models. Right now they show us on the line of being 6-10 inches, or 1-2 feet, depending on the mix. Since I have to decide, I'll go with 5-9 inches, with a lot of sleet and freezing rain. I don't think we can escape the warmer mid level air that will change the snow over to sleet later today. But we'll see. If it stays snow, we'll get over a foot.
The only thing I can guarantee....roads will be a mess tonight.
