Doubt it, I’ve seen some meteorologists from MI nail hurricane predictions

Some models also have available moisture to perhaps develop some wintry weather. There is still a great deal of uncertainty, but there are solutions where snow develops on both sides of the Lake into Friday morning

With the Euro showing some snow fall, the NAM (getting into it's range) showing snow falling, and the Canadians consistent with it, I do believe we will see snowflakes around here at some point early Friday.

The ground will be too warm for it to really accumilate unless it gets falling pretty hard for a couple of hours.

If it does snow, this will be the earliest snowfall on record in the area. I think the Dec 11th or 12th snowfall back in 2008 was the previous record.

And, we could have a snowfall earlier than we have our first freeze of the season.

What makes you say that. We had snow on the ground last time and still reported. St. Tammany is well known for waiting until the last second to cancel...if they actually do cancel.

Why such a larger amount in tangipahoa compared with other parishes?

The moisture and the low temps will both be present where as in the other areas, either the rain has moved out or the colder temps haven't arrived yet. It's just the sweet spot this time.

Haven't look at the models but that would be odd, because it would be resulting from a southernly flow off the lake. Which is about the opposite of how it normally works. Cold arse dry air blows over a non frozen lake, picks up the moisture and then gets a little lift from the land and boom. Feet.

That being said, while not being true lake effect, pull off the lake into a pool of cold drish air could get the wet bulb going strong I'd imagine.

They have been really gun shy the last few years. I would bet Wikis bitcoins that St Tammany sends out a call tomorrow afternoon/night that school is cancelled for Friday.

I know LSU wasn't cancelled, b/c I had a final that day, and I didn't go, well I couldn't go b/c you couldn't drive anywhere.

All major models on board, even though the GFS is extremely light on amount it shows precip and is the outlier. Cancel school!!

And an important thing to remember is that with 10:1 ratios (on average) you can have big swings in snowfall amounts. If a model underestimates precip by .2 then that is an extra 2 inches of snow. Models rarely nail the liquid precip exactly. I notice the models coming into agreement on amount and would feel safe betting 1-3 of snow IF it falls as snow and falls fast/hard enough to stick. One problem down here is that if the surface is above freezing then you could waste a good amount of the snow at the beginning as it melts, by the time it starts to actually stick the precip is ending.
