It's times like these where I miss the old Weather Channel. Nothing brought me more joy as a child than seeing that orange warning scroll across the bottom of the screen Back then 3-6 was warning criteria.
I just never understand why they put out graphics showing a certain number then put out an entirely different total in the advisory/warnings. They flip flopped the warning last week 3 times in a day. 5-9" to 4-8" then right back to 6-9". Very minor changes but why even bother? Some differing opinions in that office it seems
Definitely not the preferred solution but even that run manages 5.7" in the metro by the 27th. A white Christmas would be iffy but we wouldn't wait long to replace the snowpack.
Awesome storm! Had all the emotions of a typical storm in the lead up as well haha. A little surprised by nws total give they were around 7" at 7pm. It makes sense for sure. Just thought it'd be higher considering they were getting decent radar returns for a good 4-5 more hours after that.
Welp, couldn't remember my password so new account! Congrats everyone! When all is said and done this may be a top 3 storm for us since 2000. 2018 managed over 10" but in much less spectacular fashion. Great start!
