Latest from Mark Nelsen. He is definitely dangling some carrots out there, maybe even a radish.

~Snow level down around sea level early Tuesday morning; but will it be anything other than flurries? Some models keep hinting organized area of showers could arrive central/south valley (circled) for sticking snow. Calling it a "possible" First Alert Weather Day for this reason~

This gives me PTSD from the hurricanes I have gone through. Don't know how can you sleep or relax with this sound. 

How about this one? Nice fire in the background!

This was the last major hurricane I experienced in PR. The eye passed through the middle of the island all of this through the night which made it even scarier. No power just the sound of the wind and w/e it knocked down that you couldn't see. To think Maria was way worse!

So far yes there's a chance! NWS at Medford are always very cautious and conservative about how much snow we will get so far says less than one inch but at this point I welcome anything.
