The snow/frozen precipitation did not materialize this morning as the colder air moving behind the cold front associated with the low pressure system lagged behind. Had those surface temperatures progressed any further southeast, the potential would have existed for wintry precipitation. The 850mb temperatures on the GFS model remained just behind the main bulk of the moisture and this lack of freezing air caused the lack of frozen precipitation. Added to that, surface temperatures this morning around 6AM ET were around 42°F--far too warm for snow on the surface. The relative humidity remained high as well.
