Seemed to remember endless dry qpf EMCF maps last year. At some point in February figure trough lifts out of the east and we get another wet cutter as ridge out west sloshes east ala mid December.Trough probably redigs in same location at some point later
What was the last year ORD finished ahead? Given the trough position and pattern that's developed I like your position this year. The further east the better. Would assume Toronto and Montreal have fared decently.
