Sounds about right. Even an inch tonight would put them at double digits and about average snowfall for the season to date. After the last few years this feels great, even if it's barely average.
NAM is terrible for Sunday. Looks like NW areas get hit pretty good on Saturday and Sunday is a miss.
Ah well, at least someone should getting some snow on Saturday.
It is what it is. It's been fairly obvious since this morning that this threat is DOA (but God forbid someone mentions it, they get jumped on like common criminals).
Ridge out west looks better, but it's holding back too much energy and heights out ahead are lower. It could always be a timing thing, but if I was a betting man I would put money that it's not going to be a notable improvement this run.
In the final few frames everything moves NE, it seems like that lakes low acts as a kicker (as opposed some of the crazy GFS runs where it actually phased in and pumped heights out ahead).
Has some potential here, though the lead wave robbing some energy plus the base of the trough not being quite neutral yet might shunt the best dynamics east when it matters most.
