I was and remember that year vividly. Several inches of snow before two storms rolled through dumping over 2 feet of snow before a rapid warmup and major flooding.
Long time lurker, first time poster but wanted to wish everyone a merry x-mas and I like many others hope the potential for a nice outbreak comes to pass and that all of us in some capacity get a memorable experience heading into January.
I'm having a hard time believing the HRRR even out to 5 am. And honestly I really don't think anyone below 1200 ft sees anything, even snow in the air no matter how strong the precip is nor how cold the 0C temps drop. Too "fringy" IMHO
