This storm really hasn't been that big of a deal in the HV. 2 inches of rain and max gust of 35. Right now 35 with some light snow that barely coated the ground and almost done.
33 with steady light snow right now. Still hanging on to an inch of snow OTG which will be gone by midnight. Hoping for a c-1 miracle with cold front passage.
Western NY is in for it again. It could be really dangerous with winds gusting to 65 MPH, lake effect snow, and very cold temps. Power outages could be a real problem.
I agree about the CMC. It's been very good and often is the first to recognize things before other models and it's generally consistent run to run. I look at the CMC/RGEM before any other models.
