How many times are we going to go through this? The vast majority of death bands occur in "progressive" systems...not the decaying carcuses that rot in place. This could have alot going for it in that respect, but I would like to get a better idea of antecedent airmass. Not to sound like George, but there is alot of latent baroclinic energy offshore right now.
At this range, just assume 10:1, buts once within a day or two, check to see if max lift is centered in the 12-18c snow growth zone, which will ideally be around H7 and fully saturated.
You are both are correct in a way...this event is a significantly more prominent driver in the atmosphere than ONI would imply. But I also wince when people cite daily readings....weekly is worth following....
