    Don’t see any reason why the dive southeast won’t continue. It’s not good when the only model on your side is the NAM. Unbelievably frustrating when your first potential good storm inside 84hr in a few years is yanked away.

    Congrats to Chicago for the 300th time in the past decade. You really deserve this one. Meanwhile it’s been a casual 12 years since our last 12” snow, but that’s a meaningless statistic.

    We were worried about a trend north, but are now worried about a trend south. I think we’re sittinv good for this one... knock on wood

    I’ve never measured 12” of snow from a single storm since I started keeping track in 2015

    Light winds in and below the DGZ should help with maximizing flake size assuming lift is good(it should be if the euro has any hint). I think if things line up anything like the 12z suite is hinting they could, 12" is attainable for somebody somewhere.

    My question is why would a phased solution be favored when AO has been record levels of positive? NAO is a bit more towards neutral, but AO will be ~+2. However it’s falling to +2 all the way from +6. Is it like AAM where the trend matters more than the actual value? I’m curious. Because I’d otherwise be expecting a more strung out/progressive system.

    Hopefully we get an SSW in mid March so we can have more chances at snow in April.

    Can someone inject whatever substance the 00z GFS is on straight into my veins?

    Absolutely criminal that you left out the best state in the sub.

    Would think I clicked onto the NYC sub Jesus

    I mentioned exactly that on a different forum. Call me bullish, but I would not be surprised in the slightest to see blizzard warnings whipped out tomorrow if we can squeeze out even an inch on top of the frictionless surface from overnight. It really doesn't take much with winds gusting to 45-50mph to create ground blizzard or even full blizzard conditions if that band ends up being fairly robust.

    Same out here. I measured 4.7" as a composite right as we started to switch to sleet. Appears as if the 3-5" calls were money across much of the area. This could change if the HRRR has it's way tomorrow...

    Anyone know why the HRRR/pivotal weather p-depiction algorithm continuously paints mixed precip with a profile like this? Just a bug, or is there some reason for it that I'm not aware of? For context, this is from an area immediately on the backside of the low tomorrow (of which the HRRR is very aggressive with breaking out precip, much more so than the rest of guidance).

    The HRRR verbatim would be a crippling winter storm over here. 0.10-0.20 of ice here, with 6"+ of snow. Not to mention the light rates of the FZR would be ideal for ice accretion, as well as coming off a single digit arctic airmass yesterday.

    High currently over MN is either side of 1050mb currently. Doubt it really matters a whole lot, but this is a few mb stronger than forecast.

    DVN opts for WSW for the QCA and Iowa north of I-80. 4-6” with up to 0.10 of ice.

    Also took a step towards the GFS with the surface trough extending into MN. All but assures a fairly swift transition to rain for many. I think this is the most likely solution. MN/WI continue to look golden though.

    I’m still not ready to be an optimist
