The hopium is that Montana still has like 2 months of solid winter to go. Last winter it snowed until June 22.

Wow. Wasn’t expecting things to moisten up so quickly. Nice surprise. Started lightly snowing pretty much once the base radar moved over the area! Good luck all! 4F /-5 SN-

Give us some hope mossman!!

I think 4-6" is a reasonable call for here. I'm at the point where I don't really care about what the GFS is showing. Every other model -- global, regional, and now short range models -- disagrees with it. I expect it will eventually show more snow around here. I'm actually a little more optimistic about the shoreline area of Cook county, IL hitting 6" (if not over) than I am in my area. Not that it's totally out of the question imby, but there is a somewhat better/longer lake signal over there. Kinda sucks to miss the really heavy stuff, but this storm was looking like a complete whiff a while back so I'll take what I can get.
