The point I was trying to make was that the lower the temperature now, the better the chances are to see falling snow later. The temperatures will UNDOUBTEDLY rise as the warm sector approaches, meaning they'll have to drop off even more. I know what you're saying, but what I'm saying is, will a WARM front with a cold sector on it's northern flank have enough time & energy to allow the temperature to drop 4-6C before it moves away?
It's not around for long before it fizzles out, this is why the temperature now will have either a negative or positive effect on what falls later, depending on where you are, elevation etc.
