On a very side note, had an amusing argument with my family. They made me remove the heat mats on our stone pavers off the front door. They said no way will it snow again....well I sacrificed for this stormy period.
WB 18Z GFS between the 17th and the 24th delivers the goods below. I guess the run shows at least there is potential during this period. I guess everyone is not buying it because it is very quiet in here.... been a long time since the GFS produced this kind of epic run.
WB 3K NAM; temps go above freezing at 8am. General comment: the .5 inch of snow is still on the ground; the earlier snow really cooled the ground setting up the freezing rain event to cause significant icing overnight.
