For Bama folks specifically, keep in mind that we don't have a major warm nose in the mid-levels nor do we have a moisture deprived dendritic region which are the main negative players we normally have in these borderline events. Our main issue is a relatively warm boundary layer which is easier to overcome. If rates are high enough, yes, we could see some decent accumulation, while the snow is falling. But when the precip ends it will be a race with the cold air filtering in to keep any residual snow on the ground.

That is what makes this event excited. With the two big problems out of the way it is so much nicer than events where you a praying the warm nose at 850mb erodes.
