Cheering on clouds today and a little ZR/IP over snow tomorrow?

What kind of mental illness leads to that thought process?

Clock is ticking, but there’s still 6 weeks of snow threats up here. The driveway is opening up finally though. The last 2 days have been nicer than the Jan warmup at least up here. Full sun and 40+.

You underrate this winter and overrate Drake Maye.

Kinda surprised at the Canadian 12z... seems overdone or the thermals are off

[dryslot]

3-5" still looks good, If i get 4", It will be more snow then we've had in February so far.

Stunning day here, good enough for a cigar by the firepit. 44.8° and about as blue a sky you can get.

Warnings up, and a decent shot at 6" around these parts.

That's where GYX is for here, while channel 13 has us in the coating-2" color, and a lot closer to nada than to 2-4".  Yesterday it looked like a whiff.

Well, it is reasonable.   Just not detailed.  
some could see 3, some 0

[mahk_webstah]

Straight to warnings here 4-8

Its come a few tics north from the last couple days so that has helped too on modeling.

SLK sits on the county line so one part is under a WSW and another under an advisory. 

Expecting 5-10” here. The key for mby is the fluff after the initial burst. If there’s been one trend here in my first winter at WXW2 it’s that upslope or terrain enhanced precip over performs more often than not. Of course, there are levels to this and 10mi north in the middle of nowhere will score like 25% more.

That’s a borderline of a warning. I guess they changed it to 6”+ for an event versus the old 12/24hr criteria. But yeah, we’ll need a little boost in ratios Saturday I think to get the county averages over 6”

Yeah that doesn’t fly with public or customers. Big difference. Leave out areas from advisory with less confidence.

Maybe due to icing?   Edit.  Yeah. Definitely due to ice possibilities
