Late Night Winter Storm Update

A really quick update to show you what the European forecast agency's computer model is projecting.  Also, after looking at all of the evening computer model data I'm leaving most of my snow forecast alone.  There are a few teaks but they are minor.



Here is a look at snowfall accumulations through 6pm CT Friday from the European computer model.
