I will take 7.2 inches over my, less than one inch possible point forecast. To bad, we really can't lock it in.  It is strange to me that the NWS would have me under a WS warning and be calling for less than one inch of dry snow that will blow away with the wind.  I know that they don't even believe their own forecast or the warnings would not be out. Whats is the point.  Maybe I am being too hard, but I think it is partly why they are ridiculed so much.  Ok I promise I will not complain anymore.

We've all been there before so I feel ya! I was fightin mad in the Jan 24 storm to get slush and sleet. Totally failure when all systems were a go. MRX may bump totals back up overnight. They may be waiting for more hi res trends first. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a little conservative than usual after they jumped on the hype train a little early on last week's storm. Which I thought was unusual for them.

The point forecast has zero human element to it.

I always use zone area forecast personally. It’s probably computer generated too tho
