Don't be surprised, but if this holds together a lot of the same areas will see another 10+ inches of snow.  By then it will likely fall on top of a snowpack that has already shrunk due to melting and compaction, so by Sunday those that got two good doses of whiteness will probably have something around 12-18 inches of slop on the ground and a lot of mud underneath it.Of course, that's just my take on it, but I'm also not a meteorologist...nor do I usually try to interpret the models themselves. It's just based on the NWS forecasts and what I expect to happen to the white stuff after it hits the ground.- - - Updated - - -p.s.  The NWS is a gov't agency, user friendly features come at quite the cost in details and accuracy.</blockquote>
