WxKnurd Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Measured close to 2.75” of paste. Was a tricky forecast, mid-level dry air that worked in per GSP disco hurt for sure. Maybe we add another inch during the day, two if we get under some decent rates and have ample moisture in the dendrite growth region. A little disappointed based on the potential we were seeing on modeling up until the HRRR right at go time and the radar showing there was truth in it. That said, I know this is a tough setup to forecast with lots of pieces involved. Back to moderate snow here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhowl Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I would say less than 2" in this neck of the woods. On a positive note, I don't have to shovel the driveway. After getting a white Christmas anything else this winter is gravy for me anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the system has to come in perfect for downtown and surrounding areas to really get hammered. We need a straight up Miller A that cuts the state in half.

MountainOctopus Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Around 2" IMBY. Little disappointing, but still happy with what we got. Snow has been coming down consistently all morning, but it's been light to moderate and hasn't added up to much. Hoping we can get a heavier burst before all's said and done to get the tops of the grass covered....may be a tall order though, I was pretty lax with whenever I did that last mow of the season.
