Or the GFS op. Come to think of it may I suggest "if" anyone uses NAM in any context they should be given A HUGE I mean HUGE time-out until let say election day 2020....LOL

 

Nam is somewhat useful when it comes to convection as its a meso, But the GFS Op tends to flip flop from run to run and loses systems only to bring them back then end up being wrong when you need it in the short term...........lol

Its a very narrow band of 10-15 miles wide.  I think all the ingredients came together just right to have it occur.  Around 3am they mentioned someone had 6" at that point and started to see this narrow band slowly sit there.  Not sure it was something they could have necessarily foreseen.

thats why i said that ryan said there was a wsw up but the afd said 1 to 2 earlier in the night if the wsw came after then yes it would have been a surprise snow as kevin said
