You finally scored a Jackpot winning scenario. This was certainly a neat clipper to track. Meantime, how about living up in the mountains over S WY??? Upsloping winds really cranked out the moisture with this system...not to shabby, ay?? 4-6 FEET of snow in a couple days is wild stuff right there. It must have been puking 3-4"/hr at times.

I wonder if I can stay awake until the pattern change finally shows up on models.... I might need to steal this truck to keep me going! LOL 12z ECMWF in 4 hours 25 minutes
