87storms Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Radar and temps look equally meh which equates pretty well to the meh amount of accumulations predicted here. Seems like a snow tv and grass/tree/railing accumulation type of a storm. Standard March, in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thats the problem, itll weaken as the coastal begins to take over... The mountains have a tendency to beat up these types of systems. It'll be interested to see the end result. 1-2" seems pretty good when taking all things into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
