I still like my 4-8" call for most of the forum from earlier this week. In fact, for mby I can just about guarantee you that I will measure at least 4".
I've never thought much of the HRRR, but with support from the Euro and 6z Nam, it can't be ignored unfortunately. Otoh, the Nam starts shortly with maybe some hope.
It wasn't there at 18z and it's gone on the 6z. So we have 1 random run. Once I see it with some consistency across the modeling, then I get excited. That's just me.
Problem I have with those "patterns" is that there's no evidence from the operational or the ensemble themselves that they will give is snow. Maybe it's too early for that, I don't know, but I can't excited until I do.
On another note, we really need to score with this and thru the next 2 weeks because we are dealing with some ugly ensembles at the end of their forecast period.
