I got the heaviest snowfall I've had all day. Looks like the snow may last until 10am tomorrow at my place. Models showing 4-5 more to come.

Chat-GPT says they have two formal criteria for naming storms. Pretty subjective, but to be fair most of our storms do not result in Watches/Warnings over that large of an area. Population Threshold: A winter storm, blizzard, or ice storm warning from the NWS is forecast to cover a region where 2 million or more people live. Area Threshold: An NWS warning of those types is expected to cover at least 400,000 km² (about the size of Montana).

Snowing at a good rate here now, hardest I've seen it snow with this storm yet! According to short range models and looking at the radar, looks like I have quite a bit of snow yet to come. Anywhere from 5.3" to 7.9" to go on top of what I already have!? Sign me up! lol May go out and measure what I currently have here soon. And outside of the short range models, the 00z NAM has me at 6.6", 00z ICON has me at 8.4"(lol), 00z GFS at 7.7", and RDPS at 6.3"... I kind of figured totals would start being less by now but they're not going down any...

Snow has started here...

Why even is that??? Needs to tone down on the Cheeseburgers.
