I'll wait until tomorrow morning to post my assessment but it seems like I was wrong about the NAM. I'll admit that I should have looked at it harder. I'm still happy with today though.
Just made it back home. Oh boy it's been putting it down! 3 inches of snow with a temp of 26 degrees with heavy sleet/snow currently. Roads are an absolute mess.
IV finally broken the dry air here. Temp back down to 25 with humidity at 65 percent and it's pouring the snow finally. It literally got completely white with about a half inch in 15 minutes.
