Satellite images do not show the movement of precipitation that will turn to snow.

 Precipitation depends on rain bearing clouds and snowfall is a type of precipitation.

 The amount of snowfall depends on the right combination of temperatures and moisture in the air.

 The amount of snowfall can be predicted only one day in advance because sunshine might melt the snow.
