The “reload”. This is probably a “warning shot”

Still following my three-day rule. If the models are still telling that story tomorrow, particularly if more and more of them come on board with that scenario, then I will get excited about snow.
It's called clown range for a reason.

WRF is pretty unreliable. We are at 3 days now. Friday. Probably better odds of snow here than at your place with this type of setup. I’m sure there will be plenty of model volatility to come.
