Because after about 2,000 feet or so up, it’s gonna be well above freezing. No time for it to turn into snow but plenty of time to turn into sleet or just simply freeze on contact. It’s an almost identical atmospheric setup as last year.

Gotcha, could that set up change? It just seems that in this area anytime we have potential winter weather the predictions never hold up one way or the other. Is this just a coincidence the last few years or is it just our area with the gulf and other things factoring in?

All the weather apps are all over the place in terms of predictions. Good weekend to just prepare and bunker down with something to slow cook and drinks with the playoff football.

Once it melts it can't turn back into snow. Any warm nose at all at it will never reach the surface as snow.
