Snowfall forecasting is difficult, especially when you are trying to nail the difference between 4 inches and 6 inches.
I would not mind a push back towards the days of yore when WFOs held warnings off until 12-24 hours before an event. Watches? Whatever, I'm fine going long lead on those. But we are not good enough to nail warnings down to the county level beyond 24 hours yet. Certainly not when closed lows are passing to your NW.
