Nemo?
1-3 days 80% 3-5 days 60% 5 days and beyond is an educated guess. When it comes to precipitation amounts it's variable by the square mile because of micro climates and other factors. This is especially true for snow where you have conversion factors as well.
It was beautiul this morning but now I have to go plow it so the school kids don't have to trudge through it. Good snowman making snow by the way.
