Another frequent lurker, that rarely posts here...

It's been a nearly solid sheet of ice here at my house since Sunday afternoon/evening here with the exception of the highly traveled roads.  I'm just west of Enid on 412.  I'm looking  forward to a potential massive snow myself.

I do think if you are setting your sights on a 13" snow you are setting yourself up for disappointment. That's why I hate when people see a forecast range of snow... say 3-6"... and then they think they will get 6". 

If you are looking for a decent accumulating snowfall then I think you should be feeling pretty good right about now. I haven't glanced at the ensembles today.... do any of them show a complete miss?

Spot on. And yes a couple ensemble posts were made a few pages back from the GFS and Euro. Nearly all are showing the area getting slammed. The attached image below is from the latest 18z run on the GFS.

The Oklahoma Mets seem to be pretty guilty of this right now. Putting out a graphic that shows 3/4 of Oklahoma getting 6-12+ at this range seems like a bad idea, especially this far in advance. I thought SGF put out the best graphic of anyone so far.

Fortunately a guy I follow the most out of Oklahoma is being realistic. Mike Collier at KJRH Channel 2 in Tulsa.

Travis Meyer (KOTV Channel 6 Tulsa) is also pretty cautious on what he posts too.

Personally, I’m a big fan of the guy in the comment section asking if the output shown is in feet or inches lol

About 4 runs until it loses the storm completely for 2 runs, inducing mass panic. 

I am making a grocery run tomorrow afternoon. That should time up quite nicely! ;)

Side note: cooling off here more than forecast. I am down to 14 already. We were supposed to bottom out at 16. Maybe it will steady out.
