It has been a decent winter. However with below normal temps December through February, I'd like to have at least slightly above normal snowfall instead of the slightly below normal snowfall that we have to this date. Hopefully we can add on some more Thursday, but obviously that's very questionable right now.

Same here. It's a mediocre amount, but it feels like a snowy winter because the events have been frequent.- 475 replies

I'd be ok with it if it brushes us with a moderate snowstorm like many of today's model runs show. Hopefully it won't end up being a complete miss. This is still pretty early considering model skill at predicting storm track at this range. They could completely take away our snow tonight or tomorrow and then bring it back on Monday. We won't know for awhile.

The thump ended up being very brief as those good radar echoes fell apart. Back down to very light snow here now. Just about up to an inch ... I measured 0.9". Looks as if about an inch is gonna do it for this event here. It has been a beautiful afternoon with this wet snow coating everything. Nice little event even though it's going to be washed away quickly.- 475 replies

He hasn't had a great winter. For the snow event in late January he surprised people by saying it could be mostly rain, which of course ended up being wrong. Then the snow event the other night he thought a 4 to 6 inch band would make it to the Metro, which obviously didn't happen. But of course these things are tough to predict and all mets have some good calls and some bad calls.

Snow intensity starting pick up now. I was thinking an inch earlier, but maybe we can get to an inch and a half. As RU pointed out it's a degree or two colder than forecast. My street is starting to get coated now.- 475 replies

Temp is down to 32 here now. Still mainly accumulating on colder surfaces, but it is trying to dust pavement in spots now.- 475 replies

Moderate snow and 33 degrees. A dusting on colder surfaces now. Maybe we can get an inch on colder surfaces here.- 475 replies

Euro keeps thew heavier snow to the south and brushes us with a moderate amount of snow. Not bad. We're talking 4 and a half days until first flakes, so we have a long way to go before we have a good idea on snow amounts for our area. Obviously a miss isn't out of the question too, but the potential looks good.

Yeah models like RGEM and HRRR have gotten warmer for our area. A slushy inch on colder surfaces at most for our area, but now I'm skeptical that even that will happen. It will be nice to see the flakes coming down though, and it'll be a nice little event for areas to the north and west.- 475 replies

Wow, that certainly is great news. I didn't think that would happen. That was the worst OT I've ever seen on any board.

Kind of funny that the NAM models gave much less on the 12z run but then the Euro beefs it up. Those NAM models are terrible. Euro, UKMET and RGEM all look pretty good. I'm guessing NAM will beef it back up a bit tonight. We have a decent chance to get 2 inches but it's probably more on colder surfaces.

Of course we're gonna go back and forth for days with solutions that hit us and solutions that miss us. It'll be a long time before we know, but at least we have major potential. This will be interesting to track.
