    To any cliff jumpers up there, it's not over yet.  I'm rooting for y'all to get deformed (not really, I hate you all and want to move back to NoVa but houses are too damn expensive and I can make the same money in Richmond for a lot cheaper, but I'm contemplating taking a pay cut to have better snow chances.).

    You, sir, get my vote for realest post of the evening, narrowly edging out Bob with the "blown load" comment a few minutes ago.

    As the storm begins to approach the area, here's a shameless plug for my tool to help ease your radar hallucinations. Specifically for the HRRR simulated radar.

    The green regions in KY, NC, WV show that it's under-doing the precipitation extent there right now.

    Good luck to you all down here!

    I notice that showing a lot of extra precip around the fringes. Do you find that your product shows HRRR underestimating the outer-edges of precip. often, or is this unusual?

    then what are you talking about?

    It's not uncommon for their forecasts to give >50% chance to combined boom and bust scenarios. I've seen it many times on their site. Again, no hate for CWG. I love love them and I think they do a fantastic job. The percentages they put out for those booms and busts read wonky to me, that's all.

    I mean this calls for a CWG type forecast 3-6" with a boom scenario of 3-12" and a bust scenario of 0-3"

    I love CWG, and they were a big inspiration to me. That being said, when they give a forecast saying 30% bust and 30% boom chances... my takeaway is that they think their main forecast is more likely wrong than right.

    I'm definitely not any level close to the rest of you, but that seems fairly low at this point. My initial thoughts right now are more in the 6-10" range.

    You'll find that many reputable meteorologists (read: not DT) forecast notably below the snow total maps we post here. And FWIW, they have a good reason to do so. 

    CWG is also more conservative than many
