Not much to update as the forecast is much more complicated in my neck of the woods. (Lynchburg, VA) than most of Delaware. Event should start as rain and transition UP to freezing rain, sleet then snow.
Statewide 6-10 inches, with a few places seeing a foot. (Central DE may be the bulls-eye if I had to guess at this point, but that can change. Will be amazing cold tomorrow with temps tumbling into the teens as the event progresses.
Single digits to near 0 Tuesday AM.

Another BIG event on Tap
Well, Delaware people:
More snow.
Model trends: For a while, it appeared this would be a mix bag of sleet and freezing rain, ending as snow from north to south. If there has been any trend, it's been getting the cold air in FASTER with less ice and more snow.
Now,trends are good-- but just know and remember that systems have been known to charge north on the models in the last 2 days. The air mass coming is SUPER cold- like 4 standard deviations below normal, so I'm more comfortable than usual with the models but we could end up with MORE ice and less snow.
I'm attaching the NWS Philadelphia/Mt Holly snow forecast map. It's pretty good-- they also have total "ice accumulation" map as well.
Sunday should be mild for a while with temps approaching 50!, maybe warmer down in Sussex County. By late evening-- temps will start falling quickly as rain quickly moves to freezing rain, sleet and finally snow. Temps will be falling ALL day Monday with temps in the TEENS and low 20's with snow falling.
Will update as needed.
