Reality. No other guidance has that kind of qpf here. Just look above at the juiced up nam. swct ftl. It’s all good though, pleasantly surprised and content with 4-8”.
Some pretend they are ‘better’ by not caring about max snow potential...but you don’t spend THIS much time tracking if you are just happy with flakes in the air while 25 miles away sees 24”.
This is always the concern being on the western fringe. Plus it’s going to be around freezing when we wet bulb down. Pavement will be wet. No reason to close schools with 3-6” of snow on grassy surfaces.
