12z is 10 mb weaker at 06z.

They did also leave off the Indiana counties.

Seems like they are using this data for their afternoon forecast. Earlier it looked closer to the 12:20PM version.

I've been having issues with it on RadarScope. I ended up switching to MDW and ILX to view my area.

Seems like they were pretty bullish with my area this afternoon afternoon as well. They have me at >0.15 ice accumulation which seems to be a bit excessive.

LOT just put up a WSW for every county along/north of I-80 with the exception of Porter in Indiana.

Pretty decent shift south over the day today.

I was really hoping for around 6" or a little more even if we weren't in the main band but it does seem like that's becoming more unlikely. I know this is setting the bar really low but with how the last few years have gone, it would be nice to at least get the grass covered and get a wintery look which appears to be reasonable to expect at this point.

That map is a mess since it includes both events. This isn't perfect but it at least gives a better rough idea of this event. There is still a bit more going in Ohio but the placement is right.

As someone south of I-80 how concerned should the general area be about the ice amounts if solutions like those verify? I know it doesn't take much to cause problems.

I'm just hoping we can get in the main band with minimal/no mixing. I know it's still entirely possible but I'm at least feeling a bit better about it than I did last night.

Starting to feel a bit more hopeful about those of us in and south of the 80 corridor in LOT. It's been a while since we've gotten a solid hit of snow.

Same model and time but with FRAM.

It seems like this is okay to share based on Pivotal Weather's terms. Here is the latest RGEM with FRAM instead of QPF that was mentioned above.

How much does the temp of the droplet matter in situations like this? It seems like the surface cold is forecasted to be shallow with a deep warm layer above.

Did you maybe read that out of context? I wasn't saying that at all and was just adding to StormfanaticInd's point. I think that eating with anyone that isn't in your household is an unnecessary risk no matter what the setting is. I'm also not saying that grocery stores are perfect but people need to get food somehow. If people reasonably follow the guidelines it does reduce the risk considerably.

Plus you don't have to take off a mask to grocery shop. At a minimum people will take off their masks to eat for Thanksgiving.

That's pretty much the entire problem, though. The science at this moment points to a significant number of people literally not being able to 'live with it' if everyone that can doesn't wear a mask in public while this pandemic is happening. I have an immediate family member that is temporarily immunocompromised that I'm trying my best to protect but it feels as if people like you just don't seem to care about the risk you are placing on others like him. You, unfortunately in this case, are a citizen of the same county as I am and it's entirely possible we may physically cross paths. While I agree arguments over the internet usually don't matter, what you do could very well affect what happens to someone I care about in the future. I recognize that is is a bad situation for everyone for varying reasons but I don't think it's a huge ask to wear a mask so those that may be in a worse situation have a better chance of getting through this. I'm not asking anyone to trust the government or what's on television but to have a bit of compassion for everyone else that needs it right now. I'm not personally in an age group that has to worry about this as much but I choose to wear a mask when I'm in public for the ones who may fight for their lives if they catch this.

Storm south of Beecher passed nearly over me. I didn't see a funnel or anything but I don't have the best view and I'm obviously not going to head out right now.

It poured here for a few minutes but the wind didn't really pick up any more than it did before it started.

Not sure if this has ever been posted here before but this seems to be a nice resource for this: https://poweroutage.us/area/state/iowa https://poweroutage.us/area/state/illinois

Just curious...what counties would you add?
