Models are hinting at potential for severe weather on the 27/28th with wrap around snow after 

What are some lesser remembered events that formed you all's love of weather?

For me it's January 7th, 2008, going from a zero risk at all locally in the morning to being under a Tornado Watch by the evening and losing our sheds roof to the storms that came through. 

Event is also notable for having a PDS watch issued in 5% TOR areas.

Had an unexpected popup thunderstorm roll through here about 900 pm tonight with pea sized hail and lightning 

Spc kinda dropping the ball with no watch in effect with this many supercells popping 

GFS finally has storms in the fantasy range again, the most boring stretch is almost over 

The models have been showing a very small winter storm from a clipper Sunday night 

In an odd localized pocket of freezing rain like the event last year, hoping it switches over to regular rain soon 

Not on radar but it's freezing drizzling here already 

IWX upped amounts, calling for a potential Ice Storm Warning upgrade in the AFD

Might as well get a thread started for this, both the GFS and GEM have been slowly increasing the amount of ice and how long it takes to change to rain, with a swath from Central Illinois to Central Lower Michigan 

pls don't overpeform like last year's ice event 

(or just stay snow like Stebo suggests)

Models showing potential for some freezing rain Monday night into Tuesday morning 

Upgraded to a Winc Chill Warning here 

Just lost power here in Hillsdale, entire city is out 

FWIW the back end snow is filling in good in Northern Illinois right now

Dry air at the onset of the event and now the massive dry slotting didn’t help either. 5” here as well. Local Mets trying to sell the idea that the deformation snow is coming by 1am and will be intense through tomorrow lol, I just don’t see that happening. The main event is over for areas south of I-96.. time to turn our attention to the lake-effect for tomorrow into Sunday. Not expecting much around here, but you should do very well in GR. 

The low doing unexpected things in Northern Illinois allowed a lot more dry air to get in I think sadly

DTW crew quiet this morning

Trends actually look good for us

3.5" at my 6:00 measurement. Still ripping with good flake size. Only about an hour to go. Temp up to 32º. Latest HRRR and RAP says we're pretty much done after this band swings through, with temps getting into the 40's and then rain for the rest of the event. Hopefully we don't lose all the snow cover, but it's gonna be dicey. Alas, I'm pleased with this mornings snowfall...didn't expect it honestly. 

I think you guys will still get more snow later too imo

Hoping those rates make it up here 

IWX forgot to post their morning AFD lol

DTX went conservative as expected

Takes the low further east and much colder, warning level snows into Detroit now 

Kinda shocked Northern MI isn't already under a Blizzard Warning 

NAM now keeps Michigan all snow lol

18Z Euro furthest west it's been all day

18Z GFS furthest east it's been all day 

Gotta love the models 

What do our met friends think?
