On the models…

Made a few Facebook post about what I think snowfall amounts will be. Higher than NWS forecast and others, so we’ll see. Calm winds, enhanced ratios ….Thoughts on total weekend amounts that may yet need tweaked: General purposes only, not every town listed, if your town isnt listed, consider a nearby listed location
As I usually lean low to mid range of totals, in this rare instance I lean mid to high range.
Johnstown 3-6″ Any trend south will tweak numbers lower here. North a tweak up.
Somerset 3-6″
7Springs 3-6″
Grantsville 4-8″
Bittinger 5-9″
Finzel 4-8″
Frostburg 4-8″
Lavale 2-5″
Cumberland 2-5″
Cranesville 4-8″
Terra Alta 4-8″
Davis 5-9″
Canaan 5-9″
Whitmer 4-8″
Harman 4-8″ From here up to Somerset, best snows are later Saturday, Saturday night. Best snows Sunday, Harman south and ratios decreased Sunday below 3000′
Elkins 2-5″(best snow Saturday may run north of here, best Sunday just south, elevation will hurt ratio Sunday with temps lower to mid 30s)
Snowshoe 7-11″ (Similar across HSH and Cranberry)
Marlinton 5-9″ Ratios not as good Sunday, but main precip swath should help amounts in this area.

Overall models putting out .3 to .6 on average liquid.
