12z ICON which goes out 7.5 days has snow in southern Louisiana. It was a little late to the party for the current system, but there it is. GFS running now but I gotta jump on a conference call!!!

Ivan, does that heavy snow hit SE Louisiana? The image you posted would be after it moves through here, wondering if we get heavy snow or is it rain with some backend snow?

Yes. North of Alexandria gets over 20 inches, Baton Rouge about 5, Bogalusa over 12 inches. Here in Baton Rouge I say don't count your snowflakes until they are falling.

Thanks. I never count before they fall and even then I have to wait to see if they stick.

Yesterday, with those crazy rates the gfs was showing, I thought maybe there was a issue with it. But with other models showing it, maybe not.

Gulf storm intensity seems to be the main difference across the models.

Not sure I've ever seen two models on the same run show 2 FEET of snow for the South ever. Hard enough to get them to show flurries at the same time. Save those model runs for entertainment purposes when you're feeling down.

They are definitely archived because that is just plain bananas.

IIRC, the Euro and UKMet were the last two to latch onto last year's storm. I'm not even sure if the UKMet ever did fall in line. Just saying.
Bear watching.
