How could you hate something you never get ?
I was wondering too. I'm sitting at 33

Because they suck at forecasting it. Not enough experience with it in the south. They go with the little to no accumulation forecast because that’s usually how it ends up. If they are wrong, and people get snow, the public doesn’t really care bc they are happy to see it. It’s a clever tactic widely used in the south.

They just copy what the NWS says anyway tbh lol most don't even go out on a limb
But yeah it's also a pain to forecast

I'm favoring more east actually so I can avoid Dallas traffic and also maybe wait and see and not have to rush to leave like I would Waco
This seems like a good starting point

What a storm this is gonna be for somebody 
Hopefully, the latest trends on the models are wrong.
It's going to be painful watching whatever QPF we get before the best forcing shift SE be wasted on a cold rain, because of elevated surface temps/dewpoints.

Yeah I'm still very concerned about this setup in the metro
Just like NCs setup, This setup for y’all is proving why we need a good, cold airmass in place, we got the active storm track but don’t got the good cold in place. It’s truly annoying, basically having to rely on heavy precip for every setup
This setup was so close to being something historic for DFW too.
If only the system slowed down a bit more, or if only the previous system had moved out a bit faster...

Maybe a pyrrhic victory, but even if this is the outcome, it still seems likely that DFW will break its "measurable" snowless streak.
I truly hope y’all can get some mesoscale banding around there to crash the column, DFW area truly deserves something that’s more than a little, I still definitely think it will snow around there but the question is how long will it take for the column to crash
Maybe not NAM'd, but definitely got HRRR'd
Man it's going to be close for some of Alabama folks
