yes but they won't up the totals till last second. They don't want to freak people out. But I am at grocery store and that has already ensued so it's time to pull the gun. And the blizzard warnings. No it will most def be atea wide 12+ with some insane Godzilla totals in places not known until it's on us. Just gotta track.

I don't always have as eagle an eye as Frank for these things, but I'd say yes for the most part. I don't see any big differences in the models in terms of surface low placement, mid and upper level circulation and surface and 850 temps. I mean there are subtle differences, but not huge ones. At least from what I see.

Agree Jman just frustrates me that if their reasons are to not freak people out is wrong they are pros they should speak the truth but again media has been ridiculous so maybe they are listening to their bosses as Frank mentioned.

Many pros are calling for much higher amounts. Local TV stations are always last to fall in line. Better pros online calling for much higher amounts. NWS are pros. Sometimes the person telling the weather on TV isn’t even a pro.Artechmetals wrote:Jman not jabbing my friend, just seems it’s all a Roller coaster ride but just being cautious and trying to understand why these pros are so low with their totals ?

As long as they are letting people know 12” is expected, it’s fine. Once you get over a 12” what’s the difference. I’ve gotten 2 experience 34” in 2013, took an extra hour to clear the driveway.

I'm not sure why the TV forecasters, at least in this market, have been so conservative in their projections and won't ascribe any motives. Maybe that's just the way they see it. But the National Weather Service, who I think are the gold standard for pro mets, have been pretty bullish in their numbers. They have me at 16-22" in my Winter Storm Warning, which seems in line with most of what I'm seeing here.Artechmetals wrote:Agree Jman just frustrates me that if their reasons are to not freak people out is wrong they are pros they should speak the truth but again media has been ridiculous so maybe they are listening to their bosses as Frank mentioned.

Just a beautiful light snowfall out my window right now. Light fluffy flakes, coating the ground. Nice start to what could be a fun 24-36 hours. Really hope the intense bands come in the afternoon tomorrow so I can see the heavier snow in daylight.

Generally speaking yes. That is liquid equivalent precipitation amounts. Snow ratios (as you say 10:1 or 12:1) would determine how that translates to snow amounts. So yes in a storm like this the qpf time 10 or 12 would be a good rough estimate. Of course qpf maps can be a bit imprecise on location so use with caution.
