Stormhunter87 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 This is actually one of the coolest snowfalls we have had this year. It goes from super heavy rates to a break were it appears the snow is floating. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzcoat Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Not very good dendrites here for accumulation. Maybe an inch thus far but going to be hard pressed to get 3" out of this unless something changes. The warning I believe is mainly for areas just to my NW and N. Still time, but not looking like warning material here.

I noticed the 0Z runs backed off though so it was a hard forecast Oh definitely was. But when in doubt know banding will always money wrench the forecast. This wasn't a typical storm but the low track with the available moisture I had a feeling that someone was going to get plastered. I honestly didn't think it was going to be us but I'll take it. This storm is actually pushing us to our all time snowiest winter. There is one on the 28th to watch too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
