Not bad. That model isn’t usually very generous.

That sucks. Cmon guys we can do better. we’re not pros at least most of us.

We should just stop posting maps of anything beyond 12 hours according to some of the posts I’ve read recently. :roll:
Pretty much :wave:
Look at what happened this am. 5 to 9cm of snow. Even tho EC kinda called it, most people on here closed the book on snow chances with this front. I dunno.
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

I am going to question at least the first map and say most of that is either cold rain or Teflon for Metro Van given 925s largely near or above 0 until Mon morning.

Good point Nito.
I was going to say the same thing once the front actually comes ashore who thinks it will change from rain showers to heavy snow in some areas? My money is on that. :thumbup:

Agreed. Tuesday morning looks pretty interesting atm. With a wave of moisture arriving during the early morning hours.
