The all-important HiRes NAM 3km model shifted its snowfall forecast for the entire event from this : (By the way, if you are new, this is inches of snow, the colors correlate with scale)
To this in a 6-hour period. The difference? In the first one, the closed low was offshore; in the second, the low was onshore at initialization.
So here is what I am going to do. I will be up early and post with the latest data. This is a two-phase storm with phase two forecasted to be stronger. I expect snow when you wake up, but minimal impact early on, so it won’t be too late for me to post my expectations for event totals.
