One of my loyal blog readers asked me if I could find any snow on the maps and I said things look bleak. But I did find one person, Henry Margusity at Accuweather, hyping the clipper coming trough Tuesday into Wednesday. He thinks the snow ratios will be very high with cold artic air being overrun by the warm air in the south. He gave us a 3-6" snow possibility. The NWS discounts this system and says there will be no measurable precipitation from this system. Of course they might be really, really gun shy given the recent history of busted forecasts. If this does look possible to the NWS, I would expect them to start mentioning it more in the overnight after the 00z model runs.
There has been a lot of talk about busted forecasts and where did the snow go? As mentioned many times, the models show it for us and then the storm tracks to the northwest. This is very evident from the snow totals around the area.
