Winter Storm: Mar. 19/20 Update #2

Just a quick update to post two model images from tonight, both the NAM and GFS 00z snowfall forecasts courtesy of Earl Barker's Model Page.  The snow algorithm used here is a max-temp in profile, although not as high as an omega or Cobb algorithm output, it is still likely higher than what you will actually see. This will be due to melting that will initially occur with any snowfall (due to warm ground temperatures), but then also compaction as the snow is expected to be quite wet and heavy at times.  With that, the two images are below (NAM above, GFS below):
