Since we are focusing on showing rain solutions I thought ALEK would like this one

New graphic has 1.5 part one, 1 part two, so my d5 call looks off by a whopping 6 tenths 

While the 18z operational GFS is a Rainer the 18z GEFS is slightly different. 

Ricky is forecaster today for Friday -Friday nite period and says there is a possibility of 2-4 inches near and north of I-88 based on the current runs.

Guess I should get ready for my 1ft of snow. 

That is going to be a lot of rain and flooding in your area . The 10:1 ratio is going to prolly end up to high so you will prolly only end with 10.

10:1 may be best case scenario.  Too many hours of marginal temps to think that will be the ratio over the duration.

just give up, this one is obv a dud

12z Euro take on ALEK's dud

typical of this winter Missouri in the 6-10 range and chicagoland in the 2-4 range. What an awful winter!!!

Question the control 18z gfs is a Rainer so why does the gefs show the following 

In this crappy winter the next chance of snow via 12z EURO at 168 hrs (fantasy land).

We need Thundersnow to start a topic.

Update is still there for me.

Could've upgraded to a warning imo, at least for the ice around/south of I-80.  Not necessarily a clear cut thing but there should be some quarter inch amounts and the wind will add to the impact.  The negative factor for upgrading is that it is an overnight icing event and if a tree falls in the forest...

The update is gone for me.  Have much bigger flakes now prolly transitioning to a mix 

LOT just put out nice update. Expecting 5-6 north of i88 before changeover 

there was an 8:56 update that is now gone

Closing in on 4”, blowing around pretty good, solid flake size. Forgot what this looks like.

12z RGEM

i know models don’t matter at this point but I thought that RGEM would have backed off somewhat by now

18z Nest almost looks like the 12z RGEM. 6.6" ORD on the Nest with some impressive backside snows too

NAM improved quite a bit locally, gonna need the ICON/GFS to verify for my call, needless to say feeling confident

Would imagine Winter Weather advisories are Coming for the LOT area
