Early, early call if the foreign models are correct: 4-6" in Chicagoland; 6-8" across Michiana. Add an inch or two for lake-enhancement if it applies to your backyard.
Obviously, the bigger the totals, the more south and east you get.
6z Euro bumped north but the precip shield wasn’t as expansive on the northwest side, so Southern Wisconsin doesn’t get in on the action like the 00z run. Keep in mind this also includes dusters and lake effect.
Frigid, windy day with some blowing snow in my neighborhood. The lake effect pixies plus blowing snow are making for tough conditions when you get into the northern part of St Joseph County. There’s a pile up on the Toll Road right now. I can’t even imagine how bad it must be along the west coast of Michigan today.
Nothing to see here. Go about your business.
The WWA for me is really for the northern third of the county. I’ll end up with two inches of wind swept snow over the course of 24 hours.
