As always, there is still time for a change to this, but I am getting more convinced that it is not going to be snow on Friday night. The upper level low will be west of us and the surface low looks to be over us or slightly east of us. That should produce ice or rain, for the most part for the lakes.

I will update this in the morning when we have more data from the models.

Bummer! I come in a week from tomorrow night, hope things improve by then, although the 10 day doesnt look any better!

Im pretty good with the weather down here, but havent a clue about it up there. Especially after reading everything you guys have written in the past. Does seem to be a big challenge to forecast up there!
