NAM is faster with the cold air across Kansas/Oklahoma by 54. 850 front and all is farther SE.

Colder through 60 at low layers. Cold air is really slamming into W OK and TX faster this run.

Everything precip wise may end up a bit farther SE.

Ok, now I'm worried............

FWIW, the GFS BUFKIT shows 24.2" on Cobb...

If you are using that 24.2" Cobb storm total off of the hourly tables floating around these forums:

1) The snow totals on these hourly tables are quite bogus, at the output is the equivalent of taking 24 hourly snow measurements and then summing them together. That is not how snow totals are measured. The NWS procedures only allow you take up to 4 measurements a day. As snow is quite compressible, the 24 hourly sum approach results in huge and unrealistic storm totals.

2) The Bufkit tool and the snow meteograms from Iowa state fixed this error back at then end of 2010.

Oh, ok. Still 18"+ at the peak though.

Lol, you just cursed it.. j/k.. I still dont know what to make out of all of this.. The trend at 12z helped me some.. .. But this 18z NAMATTACK just freaked me out.. Of course I know better.. Its going flip again tonight. Still.. forecasters are going to have their heads spinning.

OTOH I am now apparently out of the ice zone in the freaking snow bullseye. :weight_lift:

Spot, Waterboy you may get your big one too.
