Interesting, thanks for sharing, local mets around here are calling for 2 at the most 3 inches, which seems conservative but I am sure will come into better focus this afternoon and certainly by tomorrow.

I don't know if snow weenies ever relax, lol! It can be moderate snow with phat quarters but the dry slot could end the party faster than a police raid. 

This thing looks Miller B more than Miller A. That came up on the last page. Of course our best deal is a true slider which is still possible. 

Trouble with B is we can get hosed in the handoff. More specifically the 500 mb low hanging so north trashes the partial thickness chart. With low levels 850/surface clearly cold enough, we'll get snow. Trouble is the 700 mb level* and DGZ will be suboptimal during what's usually the best WAA phase (isentropic lift). Comma head should be responsible for most of that snow forecast by WPC and local NWS WFOs.

*700 mb is well below freezing, no concern there. Just not the ideal cold. We'll see. Second half of storm could be all systems go.

What we need is a good ol' fashioned TROWAL and corresponding shovel graphic or gif, lol.

4 inches + for the entire valley footprint that run. Did trend south a slight bit, I hope that doesn't keep happening over the next 72 hours.

Was watching Reed's chase update for Dallas area...and he pointed out the trend there is for the system to not really get going until it passes by. Feel for those folks..Lucy playing with them.

Whoever said Jan '88, GFS was listening and tried (as far as N. AL) lol.

That would be me. It just looks like the same footprint, and it was a southern slider. However, it is true as was mentioned earlier Huntsville got 12in from that which is not far off from this run. Thing to remember is the similarities are there, but there will never be two or more “exact” storms. To me the Jan 88 analog was a good match.

I find when models show unprecedented events at range, they almost always don't happen.  Dallas would have broken seasonal snowfall records in a 7 day span based on runs a few days ago. Same when it's showing accumulating snow in central Florida.
