Yeah...  look, as recently as 2008, there was something like 6-10" of busting positive snow some random Tuesday afternoon up here over interior/eastern zones, and what transpire on the grid-locked roads, serious caused a 5 hour commute for some people trying to drive 15 miles.  It was a dense burst of 3"/hr rates, into one of those micro-transient cultural vibes of obliviousness like you described was going on with 1978's morning hours of laissez-faire coffee and crumpet business as usual attitudes.

This shit happens.  You dump a foot in 2.5 hours onto an incredulous, (head) dense demographic ... you're fucked.   1978 did 20-30 in 18 hours really

I don’t think people are prepared for the possibility this could be a big storm.

I was ready to write it off as another OTS disappointment… even I’m not mentally ready for what might be coming.

The NAM is probably overdone but it’s an incredible track and evolution.

Jan 22 actually 16 to 1 tell me how that happened. I don't buy the wind stuff at all. We shall see

Ultimately, the processes involved are extremely complex. I'm sure if you have extremely sufficient snow growth production that can offset stronger winds. I don't recall what the winds aloft were that day but the winds with this will be a completely different magnitude. I also would think wind at cloud level will be much stronger than Jan 16 too. 

I do agree, I think the wind can get overstated at times when talking about being a hinder to ratios and snowgrowth but this would be a whole other level of magnitude that IMO winds would absolutely impact growth and ratios.

No one is even getting accurate measurements in 30mph+ sustained. The problem is moreso snow transport at the sfc.
