GFS is likely too amped with the storm idea.  I am more worried about suppression problems overall than being too far north

Too much energy flying around. With a low in the great lakes, nothing is coming up the coast.

I'm closing in on 5 inches as is most of Orange County in the 4-5 range. Kudos to the HRRR from yesterday.

Hoping these little events are the precursor to an actual snowstorm in late Jan. 

Hard to believe its been 5 years since our last 12"+ snowstorm.
