Probably not. But there literally is a very cold air source nearby to the north, more than is usually the case. Can make a difference, and that's part of the reason the Euro is showing the sharp temp difference.

Here is my best estimate and update on the storm. I haven't been this uncertain about a forecast maybe ever.

I'm not picky. As they say, beggars can't be choosers (especially when there's no Arctic air to work with). A slushy inch would be enough for me

I really hope it snows here Friday night. That would save this mind-numbingly boring month
