Yes, NWS is more bullish than others. CWG still saying 5-9.


Yes, but they will likely be upping their totals in the next few hours.

Do you know how weather works?


I can see why the PP feels this way. It's not as usual in this area, for the temps to plummet during the day, turning a rain event to snow, which is what's happening. Usually, the snow occurs overnight, changes to ice, then rain as temperatures warm. There is another (damn) polar vortex which is responsible for dropping the temperatures earlier than the last times.
