    Storm Postmortem - Monday
    As I had said, the temperature profiles of this storm didn't look right (I hadn't seen that sort of verical profile before, admitted Saturday night.), with temperatures aloft being so cold and temperatures on the ground being so warm.

    It appears that the models weren't correct about the temperatures aloft being so cold. So not only didn't we get snow accumulating due to warm ground temps, there wasn't cold air aloft to create even wet snow falling.

    Apparently, the low pressure system in the Great Lakes didn't transfer enough energy to the coastal low to allow cold air from the northwest to come in. Live and learn.

    There's another storm forecast for Thursday night into Friday. It already looks like it will change to rain.
