I promise you the sensible weather over other area was not correct. Just because it may correctly forecast no snow here doesn't mean it nailed the evolution, Mr. "I enjoy the science of it"..
Its struggled like the rest....this is the inverse of the "models nail every cutter!" BS......going over Detroit instead of Chicago is about as noticeable as going over buoy 1321183 instead of 8990944 for most in this subform....
If its light drizzle, the system is crap, anyway, so who cares....if there is a big storm, most will see big snow.
The one aspect of this that isn't at all complicated.
