Dry Air

When I finally went to bed at 2:45 Am with just a trace of snow after several hours of nice radar returns, I know my updated forecast was in trouble.  The dry air just kept eating away at the snow.

I kept seeing higher snow amounts on the short range yesterday and finally decided to up my forecast to 4-7".  The higher end didn't verify at all.  My original 3-5" call (and a snow day for area schools) was perfect.  I honestly think I might have to count the forecast as a bust.

More fun ahead.  I'll detail that in a later forecast...
