  1. Corridor between Champaign and Lincoln will end up with several inches. .
  2. this statement coming from you ironic. .
  3. And speaking of the system for tonight, most guidance bumped back north...with agreement on 1-2” for a good portion of the area. .
  4. Have been meaning to start a thread like this for the past few winters, but always end up forgetting... Just a little something for these systems, such as the one today/tomorrow, that don’t quite make it to being thread worthy... .
  5. The 0.2” on the 24th was eventually added back in. .
  6. you know it. the week leading into christmas through a few days after new years is just about the only period i'll root for just about any sort of accumulation. outside of that, pass unless it's 6" or much greater.
  7. Picking up that 0.2” Thursday morning kind of killed off those vibes for now. .
  8. you know there’s a problem when i’m leading the optimistic wisdom train, and not the futility train. .
  9. It’s not a secondary, it’s the main system on most guidance now. The initial wave ejection is turning into a glorified front/overrunning event now. .
  10. There will be no futility to root for after this upcoming week. .
  11. It is. Has been and will continue to be it appears. .
  12. Astronomical winter makes no difference. If ORD is sitting under 1” of snow as we head into the new year, futility watch has full steam ahead. .
  13. No doubt the system next week will be sig somewhere. However, without that weekend system being a bit more organized like on earlier guidance and eventually helping to suppress the mid week threat, this could end up a Dakotas/NE/MN/WI event. .
  14. CFS and Euro weeklies are overall not pretty either through the end of January.
  15. Even though the AO is negative (part of reason it will get cold behind the system next week), the blocking overall anywhere in not strong. The PNA is one of the stronger driving forces right now, in a very fast moving pattern. The NAO has been neutral, and what happens in the future is sort of unclear.
  16. Teleconnections are really not super favorable through the rest of the month and into early Jan. The PNA regime that has been in place the that past month+ is going to continue, and not be of any help. Will be a continued pattern that you have to hope for a thread the needle setup, such as the Christmas potential. Otherwise it's more of a pattern that would support a hybrid-like system or continued Northeast/Eastern Lakes potential.
  17. As others have stated, locked for a DAB around here tomorrow AM through Thursday AM. .
