Jan 6/7 "Event" and obs

There was an event a couple days after Christmas in 1990 that was a big time overachiever. We were in a different pattern then but the system may have been similar to what is coming tomorrow night. Forecast was for 1-3/2-4 but what happened instead was double and triple that amount.  Cold Temps and good ratios along with banding produced very heavy snowfall rates over a 4-6 hour period. Maybe this does the same.

Looks like a good sounding to maximize ratios!

This is actually true. Many roads are still not plowed and walkways are treacherous. My husband took a picture of the driveway leading into one of our elementary schools and it was a thick sheet of ice.  I’m sure we will be closed on Friday too. It looks like a couple of inches is at good bet.  Regarding Covid numbers, I appreciate Mother Nature giving us a reason to stay home the week after everyone has been traveling.
