Good dendritic snow growth over here, best i've seen all day

How much have you seen?

There haven't been many happy endings this winter but this storm is definitely one of them. Many METS thought the models would trend north and warm things up giving us sleet/rain or all rain a few days ago and the opposite happened. Also it's not a marginal surface temp situation either, it's pretty darn cold for this one too so that's a plus.

The models changed for the better on Wednesday night. Algreek messaged me saying GFS in big letters. I was in shock. Just like someone mentioned before, the models had mid to upper 40's for today with rain. I knew with a -pna and the PV pressing the cold air down, this storm wasn't going to cut inland.

The SPC WRF wins again, my only issue with the event was the WRF showing virtually no banding signatures, more or less thats exactly what happened, had we gotten a couple of those we might have seen more 6 inch amounts come out of it.

i spoke about the banding yesterday and not to pat myself on my back but i was spot on to where it would be, the signature was very clear on the nam.

it has nothing to do with the -PNA... the sfc low is a pretty weak one; it's not wrapped up; if it was wrapped up, (strong lifting, strong dynamics). it woud cut.

there is a report button, lets all use that instead of screaming about it, me included, because this thread is about the storm, not him

anyway, im just south of that band, looks like the merrit parkway is getting slammed

no complaints here though, doing just fine, working on 4 inches.

Yeah, I know. Problem is that I don't see that button while I'm using mobile version now.
