Another chance for snow/ice for the southeast.

Once again, moisture-laden air from the Gulf of Mexico is heading to the southeast.
Depending on when it meets the cold air coming down from Canada, this will make rain or sleet or snow, or some combination of these elements.
If you look closely, you can see the "snow line" going from Illinois to Indiana and going eastward.
Clicking on the image below gets you to a very high resolution image showing this demarcation line.
If you look closely at that high-res image, you can almost imagine seeing footprints in the snow!
The rivers and mountains are certainly outlined well in that image.
