It's over now. I thought it was 4 but when I tried measure I came up with closer to 3. Probably have to go with 3.5 but will wait to see spotter reports.
Agree with you about big storm potential but who knows. If we're lucky enough to get 1 or 2 of these to hit they scream moderate events which is fine. They certainly would favor very cold storms. This was an impressively cold Euro run.
I think it's time to retire the Congrats too. Enough already with it. Every other post when a bad model run comes out.
Congrats Detroit, Congrats Denver. Not funny anymore.
There have been quite a few moderate and big storms that were preceeded by a small event just prior or within 48 hours of the "main event"
2003,2004,2016 just to name a few.
