I wonder if this is gonna suck some of the energy out of the air for round 2
The airmass is going to recover quickly. The parent low is deep and going to be sucking in a lot of air.
You can see some localized surface low pressures form on the HRRR. Reasonable but shows you the temp recovery by early afternoon tomorrow. Sub 1000 surface low tells ya you got a big spatial temp gradient.
Hopefully there's just an assload of forcing to just line it out earlier than expected/feared.

Trump's economy...
But for real, after the inflation of the past few years it does track credit card debt would also be a bigger overall number now.

I don't have to deal with that where I work. It's one of the reasons I'm still here when I could be making more elsewhere. It's an awesome environment.
There are fiefdoms everywhere, but I too find the culture of my current employer pretty fantastic.
Also helps the people I interact with the most are my own hires and ive selected well.

Got the Michelin X Ice/Snow on my ride and theyre amazing tires. Youd think Im driving on dry pavement in some nasty snowstorms.

If you put your daughter in ski school, she will have fun, but it will mostly be a snow fun and hot chocolate daycare (and not much skiing). Lol.
Three lessons and my daughter got up on Kokomo, she's 4. So dont expect a lot of progress. And yes abundant hot chocolates.
Also, I see people talking about how cold it was recently. Yeah, its been cold AF up here. Im local now, and I thought the past two weeks were miserable. That isnt normal up here.
I bet you southern baws had a rough go of that shite.

This thread has to be amusing to lurkers/posters who live anywhere north of Arkansas with people going nuts about a couple inches. To them that's any Tuesday from December to March.
4-8" makes travel a pain in the arse here, snd we get a lot of practice at winter driving. We dont gotta worry about pipes bursting.
Its exciting to watch yall get some snow. This shite isnt that disruptive, is rare, and the kids love it.

Warmer air overrunning cold air isnt a scenario the HRRR does all that well with.
Its why there was a lot of the NAM in recent days.

I aint too far from there. Love it here (but boy i could use some slightly warmer weather).
Oldest daughter's preschool is at a resort. She gets taken to snowboard lessons, gets to go to a trampoline and foampit place designed for snowboarders/skiers to get good at tricks.
Seems like a really cool experience.

what would be considered humid for snow storm?
relative humidity is a great proxy. The biggest snows Ive seen have been at 29-30 with RH near 100%
But when its 35-36, you need that RH to be lower but not too low. 60-70% allows enough evap without evaporating everything away.

Nah, I see what happened.
Relative humidity involves the dew point and ambient temp. So youre getting at the right idea, just had some terms mixed around.

what happens when its above it
The dew point above the ambient temperature?

Like Houston is 47% humidity at 36 degrees
Ahh...
The dew point a decent bit lower than the temp. Might be too dry to get much.

What is relation to dew point and snow?
A lot, especially when youre right on the edge of snow/sleet/rain.
The dew point being a little under the temp can actually get you snow even if its slightly above freezing at the surface, bc the evaporation cools the snow off as it falls and stays snow.
Now, what Boat notes, Shreveport is deeper in the arctic airmass, and its too dry. 25% relative humidity, and all the snow evaporates as it falls.
