Looks like she was showing their 'Fox Model' which is probably not their actual current forecast totals, for what its worth.

Yeah, I keep hearing about "Fox's new exclusive Model" all week from Kathy before our first storm.

NWS thinks we may die....

The way people around here drive any time snow is falling, that's not much of a stretch... Monday night was atrocious and there was like a dusting of snow on the roads at the time..

5 inches seems like a lock here. I’ll take, but I’m also greedy for more.

I wouldn't set my expectations that high... IVT's are notoriously tricky to nail down ahead of time. Could very well only be 2-3" if you miss out on that. Don't think anyone should go into this expecting 4-6".

Not much change from Mt. Holly's snow map after the 12z runs:

I think 2-5" is a good bet for much of the subforum. There will be a narrow corridor of 4-8" wherever the IVT sets up.

3-5" is very logical in our area w/some higher exceptions IMO.

NWS WWA is now for 24hrs (1am -1am) for a couple inches...Visability will never go below 8mi with that velocity.

31F

Looks good south of 422 and the turnpike but I’d cut everything by 1-2” north of that.

Well we will know exactly who uses mesoscale models and who does not LOL.  I am going with mesoscale models too I learned my lesson on February 6-7th 2016 when I laughed at the NAM.... but maybe the prudent thing to do is go with 2-4" a blend of the all the models.

It’s a 2-3” event for most , lucky ones may see 6”, but we won’t know where until the storm is here

I mean come on lol just call it 2-4" let someone complain about the 0.8" This whole set up is not an exact science.  Good Luck nailing down the Norlun trough its like pinpointing exact location of a strong thunderstorm when there is a 20-30% chance of them in the first place.

Exactly. This is a general 1-3" type of setup. The higher 3-5" stuff will be wherever the banding sets up. Could n or s of the city still. We just can't know.
