What does this mean for us?
It means nothing for the gulf coast. Fortunately, we don't need record breaking cold for snow down here! Truth is, it's not a good thing to be into the heart of the cold, that only gives us cold, sunny and dry weather. We should be in a good position when lows track to our south over the next few weeks.
Heads up here in southwest Louisiana as well. Things will and do change - we'll see.
Not a professional forecast by any means and should not be viewed as such - just my opinion.

Monday Night
A chance of rain showers before midnight, then rain likely between midnight and 4am, then rain and snow likely after 4am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. South wind 5 to 15 mph becoming north after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
Tuesday
A chance of rain and snow before 9am, then a chance of snow between 9am and noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 41. North wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
With us being 72 hours out from the event, any chance we see a winter storm watch issued?

It’s cold out, 32 in Thibodaux this morning with a heavy frost , we have had a heavy frost for several days in a row, it’s white out, next best thing to snow I guess.

06z GFS sounding forecast looks pretty good for frozen precip for the northern North Shore for Tuesday morning as long as the surface moistens up some.
Edit: this is the best promising sounding forecast I have seen so far, previous runs the moisture is gone by the time the heights fall low enough.
