totsata Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Lake county added to the WWA. Calling for 1 to 5 inches with the caveat: ...A heavy snow band is expected near, or just north of, the Wisconsin state line. If this band shifts south, more significant impacts would result.

michsnowfreak Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 1 hour ago, OrdIowPitMsp said: P&C was bumped up to 4.1” imby for tonight’s event. NWS must think the heavier band will setup over the twin cities. We shall see. P&C is at 17” for the Sunday/Monday storm. Shocked it’s that high tbh. Models have been trending more frozen precip today but given the complexity of the setup I think it’ll be a nowcast type of storm. I've heard NWS mets frequently say not to add up the point and click, which I never understood lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they are waiting until after tonight’s snowfall to avoid confusing the public. 37 minutes ago, michsnowfreak said: I've heard NWS mets frequently say not to add up the point and click, which I never understood lol Doesn’t make sense to me. My grid forecast for tonight says 3-7” so 4.1” fits nicely in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy looking to see what could have happened. Most are just bad luck.
