  1. The GFS SLP from HR 42-54 doesn't look realistic to me. Seems like it should scoot more west prior to heading north. Resulting in a further south track
  2. So Mondays little disturbance that raced up north into Canada killed us? That disruptive the lobe around Hudson?
  3. 2-4 for west burbs, Lollipop 6 amounts SE near lake. Maybe just maybe does ALEK get his 5
  4. NWS as well as WGN still hitting the message hard for Chicago. WGN graphic still shows 10 inches possible issued as of 6:30 this morning. Worth mentioning that Tom skillings on vacation though
  5. I honestly think that the wind excuse for the kuchera is overused a bit. And if system becomes a little flatter it doesn't wrap up as much. It may not be as windy as first thought Less snow and more wind Or More snow less wind
  6. Idk.. GFS just looks confused now. Like it doesn't know quite what to do with the SLP
  7. It feels like we've been tracking the storm forever, but what's crazy is that even right now, there's still a lot of time left with this.
  8. Fair point. But publics perception of a "Watch" is unfortunately not the same as the definition. As well as the verbiage used was intended to hit hard
  9. Everything is in hindsight of course. I agreed with the call when it happened due to the wind/cold and holiday. But in hindsight, this is not the "olden days" where information takes long to get to the public. It's New Age, with smartphones where nformation is immediately sent to the public and in publics eyes. 1.5-2 days is plenty of lead time now
  10. Now it's a tough call on advisories. Between general snow advisory or blizzard. Doesn't really qualify as WSW
  11. Use it for upstream guidance within it's wheelhouse (12-48hrs) I guess
  12. Is that what is allowing the initial front end wave to go so far north?
  13. Agreed. I don't want any funny business, and then have to hope it verifies. But at the same time , if it sits there and maybe takes another lap around I'm cool with that.
  14. RC said they were going to hit it hard. I probably would have waited 45 more minutes for the GFS though. If you take the amount of snow out of out of the equation, it makes more sense
  15. "It's gonna wobble around for another day or so" blah blah blah" Haha, I'm just messing. I appreciate their insights too.
