True, but most of us can't analyze anything past like 10 days, and as soon as the slightest whiff of a change in pattern shows up it's going to be bedlam with the sun angle and ground temps and torch talk.

Someone explained this to you yesterday. This is a snow depth change map, not a snowfall map. We're losing snow to melt in the next 36 hours, so any snow that falls on Thursday night is starting from a snow depth deficit.
