This reminds me of December 1992 from a nostalgic perspective.. not that it will be anything like it. But given the experience of having my attention siezed by a glowing sheet of white over a wet surface in the dim illumination of the street light at like 130am....eery.
I think its also an issue of time allocation....I'm willing to bet that many hobbyists who gloss over light snow events do so because they aren't yet retired and have a family.
Been 1-3" with spot 4" since the get-go...no change. Fraud refers to the tendency to underperform expectations....doesn't mean P sunny skies. Pretty simple.

If I were hugging the NAM, then I would have been forecasting several inches in the first call. The 18z NAM is a mere illustration of the instability and unreliability of that particular piece of guidance. I think that is the point. I already agreed that the 18z maybe overtrended...still think general 1-3".
