Great to hear saturation is ahead of schedule. I expect the same here as well as we already have considerable low level and mid level cloud cover locally.
I think 5-8" is a good call for Metro Detroit wouldn't be surprised if we get an isolated higher amount especially if the convective element is realized.
Way too much Bustardi talk in this thread, dude is trash and has been for years. Not worth even acknowledging anymore with his clearly biased approach.
I think DTX might be wrong on the snow ratios, their AFD made mention of 8:1 ratios, I just don't see it being that low especially with temps starting out in the 20s and very good ascent.
