I don't know but I think #4 was the closest. Had the northern branch close and less snow in the CR area. The southern branch just didn't have as much moisture as expected.

OK, let's play this game your way, then.
From the original tweet, this is the forecast graphic from Wed evening, 48 hours from the event:
Now here is the graphic of "reported storm totals":
Like they say on Sesame Street, "One of these things is not like the other..." My personal fave is Council Bluffs.
This graphic from late Thurs night, about 18 hours prior to the event, is definitely better but far from "spot on" as you claim.

Y'all don't really understand at all just how hard it is to forecast snow amounts.
It's not like they're forecasting 1" or 2" or rain. Every 1" of rain equivalent can be 10"-20" of snow. Just huge variations are possible and it's amazing that from two days out the forecasts are as accurate as they are.

I think it’s so simple as men and women forecasters. Men look at something as 8-9 inches worth and women claim it’s only 4 inches.
Looks pretty close to me. Not sure what you are expecting. Guessing exactly is near impossible.
Yep, wasn't expecting it either. Screw it I'm not shoveling it though with more on the way Tuesday.
Harper is who dropped the snow a few days ago. More than likely you are dealing with Frank...Harpers brother who just got out of jail. Being an embarrassment to the family...Harper didn't want anyone know they are related so he asked the NWS and the weather channel to just ignore Frank.
