GFS model is flexing its snow muscles pointing toward a big storm shaping up for Sunday into Monday. Plenty of time for subtle changes.

But, the current model run brings around 8″ of snow to our area Sunday into into Monday morning. Possible problem: model brings in (unneeded) warming to the lower atmosphere. This could be a real deal breaker as it suggests sleet/freezing rain would reduce snow totals. Another possible problem: yesterday the model kept the bulk of the snow/ice farther south. Additional “track shifts” over the next few days could make significant changes to the snow/ice mixture and location.

Stay tuned. Lots of fun for forecasters over next few days!
