Sometimes, leftovers are as fun as the original storm that left them behind! The difficult thing about them is the models don’t always do a great job of forecasting the snow totals. It is still snowing at my house after an additional 7 inches fell since early Monday evening. Purgatory got 9 additional inches overnight after 5 inches fell during the day for a total of 14 inches in the last 24 hours.

Yesterday a shortwave trough (leftover #1) moved slowly through the area during the afternoon and last night. Overnight, a second shortwave trough (leftover #2) moved into the area and is slowly moving east.

All of the models show snow continuing across the area, once again favoring western portions of the forecast area.

On Wednesday, we should get a break, until Thursday night/Friday morning when another quick-moving system moves across the area. At the moment I do not expect significant accumulations with the Friday storm.

My next update will be on Wednesday. Thanks for following and supporting the site!
