Hmmm. I don’t remember that one. Over-performer I take it?

Incredibly. If I remember correctly, it was barely forecasted to be advisory level and I ended up with about 4.5” inches of heavy wet snow. The models right up until go time just couldn’t grasp the upslope flow into the foothills. I believe that storm happened the Saturday night before the Super Bowl.

Bust here only 1.5

Yea, I hate to go back to my pessimism. But, my temps are scorching compared to forecast. 

One reason the precipitation is coming west is the cold front and cold air is lagging

I would say NAM is west and juicer with that initial finger, but is east/weaker with the heart of the system. If the temps workout, the finger could be out best hope. Preferred where things were heading at 6z with the northern piece of energy phasing more and getting the entire system oriented more N/S so that the pivot off the Atlantic coast was closer to us.

There’s going to be a lot of broken hearts tomorrow across the southeast. That cold air is just not moving in a hurry, plus you have to plan for the slow spillage over the mountains. I could see some areas south of the apps pulling it off, but even then, wet snow falling onto warm, wet ground is a recipe for disappointment.

HvWard staying strong and calling for 1-3” across the area. But, I’m personally just ready to move on from this silly event. Glad we had something to track and more on the horizon hopefully. But, this one was draining

Did you have a solid dusting earlier?

I saw 5-10 flakes but 95% rain. Drove into town and saw they had a dusting. Somehow missed out.

Interesting. I drove around this morning and right here near PG had more than other areas of McDowell. Doubt we even see a flake tonight
