Post Christmas storm analysis

Forecast looked pretty good with a general 3-7 inches in the triangle with potential for higher accumulations. Accumulation was close to that conservative estimate with just a couple more inches on the high side. So a 4- 10 inch prediction with more toward the NE would've been perfect for the triangle. But still not bad at all. Timing was good as well with the significant snow arriving after midnight and arriving by lunch. I should've mentioned that NE sections of the triangle would do better than west sections, but I just didn't mention it. The NE sections and just to the east of the triangle did very well with 10 - 13 inches, so the intensity there was unexpected and aided by the fact that there were very little temp issues there and the storm was a wee bit stronger than anticipated.

Here's the map from RAH NWS:
