Wintry January 14-16th storm potential.

These totals will be coming up based on short range and medium range models spitting out more and more with each run. Also I’ll be in Blacksburg starting tonight! Semester starts tuesday

there it is!
 
models are pretty much useless now. Interesting precipitation is breaking out earlier than model guidance. Regardless of what happens they have been horrible. Literally trended in opposite direction.

The models are never more accurate than literally right before the storm. Sure, maybe looking at actual OBS is insightful at this stage, but when we live and die by the models for days, then “throw them out” right before the storm just because they don’t show what we want, it always strikes me as a hard cope.

When I say they are useless. I’m saying it’s nowcasting time. I’m simply talking about the difference between them at such a short lead time.
 
The Mountain block in full force!

Am I missing something here? I’ve considered my area to pretty much be out of this since Thursday- curious as to what the logic is for this
