the problem remains digging out from under 1-2 feet of snow like we did two weeks ago.

Where are they going to put all the snow?

Add up the expected for time periods and it's 8 to 16 inches. Yet it's 45 degrees outside right now.

it's still hard to predict where the heaviest snow bands will set up, the difference between 12 inches and 24 inches.
