Besides, 1.5" more than 3" is 50% more than expected. I don't anyone who wouldn't take 50% more snow for free. Well congrats...better than I thought for the hill folk.

Probably similar to you. Maybe a tad more since that last band went apesh*t apparently. You and I had similar QPF because the trajectory was from your fanny to mine...umm I mean my house.

Well I did give props to James a few pages back...I always give props when they are due. I appreciate the nice compliments..but I don't need a backpat....I don't role like that. I just tell it how it looks to me and if I'm right, then great. If not, that's ok as well. This is the nature of the business. This board is a great learning tool and you bet your azz that the combo of others like Ryan, Will, Phil, Tip etc are impossible to beat. Those guys are fantastic mets and I love being a part and talking weather with all of them. Even you enthusiasts. You guys make it fun as well...although a couple of people sometimes make my hair turn a premature grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right how it's like a totally different world sometimes between the hill towns and river valley! It's not complicated... more is better.
