It's been my observation that the NWS always underestimates by 3"-4" per day ... probably because it's unusual if we *don't* get that much in a day!! The past few days, the weather forecasts on TV have been like, "Well ... it looks like it's going to snow a lot in certain places. We don't know how much or where, because the snowfall totals keep rising. Soooo ... if you're in the UP, there'll be a lot of snow. Some places will get a foot, some will get three ... umm, keep watching!" They've upped the snowfall from flurries, to 1-2", to 4-7" in the last 12 hours!
