BooneWX Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Not buying the anti-foothill guidance. I’ve not encountered too many overrunning events that didn’t score well in the foothills counties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Our heaviest rates will be from around noon to 3. It should be flate out putting it down then. The onset for most will be from 8 to 10 am tomorrow morning. Lingering snow showers should persist through the evening hours especially along the boarder counties especially as the cold air bleeds in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
