The modeling on this event was pretty good for the 12z-18z phase, but most models missed the dry slot and also over did the QPF bigtime. Overall if you had taken a blend of the snowfall amounts from the euro/nam/gfs you would’ve ended up with a good forecast.
It can happen, today wasn't really a great setup though for it IMO. Temps in the mid 20's or lower, light precip, and low sun angle is the winning recipe.
The 10 inch plus storm with no mixing immediately got me to B-. The couple of other little events, arctic air, and this get me to B maybe even a B+ the more I think about it.
