It was 12 degrees in Amarillo this morning. They are getting a taste of the arctic air that will soon invade the South. Annabel talked of driving through blowing snow coming home from work yesterday.
The models are now hinting at another Gulf low forming Friday and Saturday. The 06 UTC NAM shows a vigorous surface low developing along the stalled front in the Gulf by Friday night, which moves toward south Georgia by Saturday morning. This time is also showing more precipitation and cooler air. The 850 mb 0 degree line should be somewhere near Birmingham Friday night.
The track of the low will depend a lot on where the front stalls in the Gulf. Lows generally move along fronts. If warmer, Gulf air can stay closer to the coast, then our chances for snow Friday night and Saturday are higher. If not, maybe a dusting, or nothing at all.
Below is a look at the current weather surface map. Lots of fog in the Mississippi valleys.

I am in Northern Virginia in Loudoun County. Watch my weather today!
Nothing stuck to the ground. It's just very, very cold. I really did not want to get out from under the covers this morning.
