Unseasonably cold day ahead

A blast of cold Canadian air is here for one day. Then, temperatures moderate as an upper-level ridge moves in by Thursday with a front. Ahead of it wet snow will move in starting at midday on Thursday and become widespread. We’re looking at 1-2″ of snow with this round. Friday hints at accumulating snow with a Colorado low moving in. The track looks to be through the Northern Lower. However, it could change and that would result in a change in snowfall amounts. The snow moves in during the afternoon and continues through Saturday. As of now, the highest amounts look to be in the eastern half.
