00Z GFS continues to show a major widespread snowstorm Wednesday night. I'm skeptical it will verify at the modelled intensity, but even half the totals shown would be nice. In a setup like this, everybody would get heavy snow. :clap: :D :thumbup: :flakey:

It also looks like it develops that little slider a bit more on Tuesday night, which could prove interesting.

The goofus is incredibly intent on putting us briefly in the freezer after that overrunning event.

lock it in and throw away the key!
Literally, in terms of freezing the fresh snow to survive longer.

That Wednesday night thing is looking great. Icon was even stronger with the pull of cold from the interior ahead of the precip. That storm is looking like a widespread 15-35cm right now.

GFS hasn’t produced accurate results in how long on totals with terrain bleed? Usually Euro and NAM are better.
