So any thoughts as to which model(s) handled this the best?

Euro handled the timing pretty bang on. The 10:1 ratios were never going to happen, but it was insistent there was going to be widespread sticking snow for at least part of the day.

HDRPS had too big a donut hole in the Lower Mainland, and snowfalls in the Seattle area that were too generous.

Once you keep in mind the 10:1 SWE assumption, its snow forecast wasn’t that far off the mark for me.
It's called clown range for a reason.
