Getting there... but still a bit more work to do

Def not worrying... that system is probably going to be our first chance for snow again in the new pattern hopefully

Looks like it phased or neg tilts just a tad too early at the end of the GFS... but it was enticing

Looks like the GFS is going to show a fantastic fantasy snowstorm at the end of its run looking at h5 at 300

Better go let HM and Simon Lee and Eric Webb know then
