Yeah, I didn't understand all the optimism leading in. The radar showed an enormous dry slot and the firehouse out of the SW looked like a frontal passage. When I saw areas to our SE snowing hours before us with a west-to-east precip flow, the writing seemed to be on the wall. The usual backlash came when I mentioned that OBS that night. I think someone asked me if "I've watched a radar before", which of course, is what I was doing.
