Kevin Druff Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 looks like the gfs gives ric 0.40" 3"-6"? maybe That's what Duncan is calling for over on NBC12.com Consensus of the latest data coming is pointing to totals ranging from around 3 or 4" up to 6". Still several days away, that is only a preliminary estimate of what we expect, so we'll be watching this closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
