GGEM cut back a bit from 0z, but still shows 6-7 in areas south of Bos.

I have a chicken obsessed with eating it. I barely see her drink water, but she mows down snow piles like mealworms.

Lol that's awesome.

Yeah really the past 3-4 winters it has been my go-to in the shorter term. It got that excellent upgrade in 2012 or 2013 and since then, it has been a very good model. Still has its issues from time to time, hasn't 100% shook its occasional penchant for QPF bombs...but it's prob the best model of any for thermal profiles...esp lower levels...and seems to do well picking out banding. 

This times a 100, also if you want to pick out freezing rain pockets, none better. So many times we here of surprise ice storms when the RGEM nailed it but for some reason around New England, Mets don't use it

That’s awesome Ginx. I need a weenie dog. My two bostons shake at the sight of snow or the feel of cold. Great dogs but now that I have a house with 2 acres, I may need a husky or a rot....a beast I can play in the man snow with. 

I had a Rottie Lab mix for 19 years, total snow weenie. 

Anyways back on topic. Think I am good here for my 4 to 6 lolly to 8. Radar looks good and latest nowcast models seem to agree.  First snowstorms of the year are always special.  Wonder when the last time all Gulf states had snow to the beach in the same storm?

HRRR trends over the past 5 runs...this is why you can't freak out over every 1 hour run.

The fact that the GGEM gives ATL snow makes me question its validity 

It's always great to look back on these threads post storm
