I will say this about the 273 snow maps that were posted in advance of last evening's event -if you go back and look through them over the past 10 pages or so, there was remarkable model consensus with where the snow would fall AND in general...they were pretty darn accurate. (they were almost all too high, but that happens with 98% of our events)
I cherrypicked one of @Blizzard of 93 maps he posted Saturday evening to illustrate - again, other than the amount, the general intent here looked pretty good.
I've been known to be critical of snow maps...but I'll also publicly admit that they had a decent handle on this event.
