What do snow forecasters do in the hours before the storm is going to hit? We nervously watch satellite and radar images in hopes that the forecast will be correct!

I was a little concerned that the cold front and jet stream were not creating the heavy band of snow as the models advertised. But just in the last 30-60 minutes the clouds have fired up and things are looking good. Note the clouds on the left and how they build into a nice line during the last few frames of the satellite movie. So all is well and I'm heading to bed happy. Stay tuned for a morning update on the storm!
