Was going to write this up last night,however no time to,has I was working on the winter forecast...That should be out tonight when I get home from work...Anyway the forecast for Sunday panned out just right...We had off and on snow showers all day...Though the change over to snow didn't happen till around 7 AM or shortly after...We did have a dusting of snow Sunday night,My truck was white Monday morning at 4:30 AM..Also some of the secondary roads were a little slippery...
Here are some of the snowfall reports from the NWS for my whole forecast area(this is my forecast area for the private firm I forecast for....LES was not that heavy like we thought it was going to be...Should have had a more Northerly winds,however giving the models output that is what we had forecasted....

Winds for the most part were right on target...We had gusts up to 40 MPH here at the office,with winds from 20 to 30 MPH on the average..Winds did slack up off and on through the day,however did increase once again Sunday night...So unlike what I have heard and read from others...The forecasts that were issued not only by my office but also the NWS were on the mark! Except the LES that we had forecasted,but that was talked about above!
