White death in Jackson

Models are still having a hard time as they often do with winter weather here. Everything has to play out perfectly to get snow here and sometimes the crucial finer details don't come into focus until event time...if they do then. See north AL a week or so ago. It all comes down to how strong the low pressure is and where it tracks. A difference of 20-50 miles can have a huge difference on who sees 6" of snow and who gets a cold rain. Right now my best guess of at least a dusting of snow would be north of a Yazoo city to Macon line and the best chance of seeing significant accumulations probably reserved for TN and maybe the northern edge of MS. But then if the low tracks further south that all gets shifted south. Further north and it all gets shifted north.
Going to depend on how strong the low is. If it's strong enough it'll pull in the cold air necessary while the moisture is still in place. It'll also cause dynamic cooling where it'll start snowing at around 37 degrees but the heavy snowfall will cool the atmosphere down below freezing.
Latest gfs and NAM have both trended south this morning and now calling for 1-3" mainly along and north of 82. Others are saying nothing but a cold rain still so still anybody's guess as to how this plays out.
I almost got a job working on State st. Oof, the laughs i got in the interview when I asked about places to live near there.
High of 51 Saturday though in Starkville though so roads and ground will be warm and with a high of 38 Sunday and 47 Monday it won't be around long. That said all milk, TP, bread and beer will be gone by Friday night
I'm was getting ready to take out an add in the local paper to sell this bad boy but it looks some of you may be in dire need...

Medium and short range models coming into good agreement for a potentially significant snow event for the northern part of MS Saturday night into Sunday with widespread 2-4" accumulations with isolated 6-9" mainly in the northern 1/5 of the state. Could also see some thunder snow. That said, the long range models are much less bullish with only a dusting to maybe one or two inches. This is due to them tracking the low on a more northern track and the short and mid range on a more southern track. Something else that will work against snow accumulations are the warm temps and all the rain that will fall ahead of the snow. Here's hoping the southern track is what verifies.
