75k skymiles to catch the 6pm out of rsw lol. For a comparison, it was only 4k to fly home a few weeks ago for family stuff. I think im gonna pass and trust that it'll be another storm disappointment. Edit 112k now.

Same with me and powerball lolol.

Well the two part of it made up the the messy low pressure main show. Either way its a bummer for us and areas to our sw that looked prime for 20+. Thats been the trend recently, weaker/se.

So you're saying you werent buying to 30+ kuchera amounts the gfs was spittin out like 48 hrs ago?

Yea as always will depend where the banding sets up. Rgem looks to have them nearly stationary over the area for 20+ hours. My gut is telling me someone still may get a foot plus. Im still tempted to hop on a plane tonight lol. Havent seen 6+ storm in person in over 3 yrs as i havent been home in the winter and nothing has been worth traveling for.

The 12z rgem animated simluation does look pretty sexy with the first round for metro detroit. Good luck and enjoy it up there.

Getting dryer/less snow with each run in the heaviest bands in illinois and indiana too.

Man what couldve been if the second part/main wave could amplify a bit and come nw, it could've been a historic storm for dtw. Maybe it still can, who knows.

Dtw big dog (18+) curse continues. That last storm that delivered the goods to Toronto/Cleveland found a way to literally track/detour around us and now this time around we're gonna be stuck in between the goods. After all these years it doesn't really surprise me or disappoint me anymore but I can't help but laugh how Detroit found a way to miss out on 2 straight potential big dogs in a matter of weeks. Cue the "oh the models are still showing 8-12. That's gonna be highly dependent on banding and we all know how unpredictable that is. Detroits gonna have to get lucky to get 8 " out of this which Josh will be thrilled about but at this point it's big dog or nothing for me. Good luck to all those in line to get historic snows and enjoy it!

Typical news hype, local news saying this could be one of detroits largest on record. Im just not seeing it. I still feel like if it takes 36 hrs, it shouldn't count as one event. I hope those in N in, IL and nw ohio can cash in on a 2 footer.

On the brightside, you get to save some money.

Ive had this discussion with Josh more times than the lions have losses the past 20 years. Dont waste your time lol. You wont get him to admit we suck at big dogs.

Battle of whether or not to book a flight lol.

Models really struggling with this setup. Gfs led the way being amped up, now its more on the southern end.

The jan 5 2014 wasnt a big low pressure barreling. If I remember correctly I think it was a weak low pressure system that phased with the PV. I think last nights runs were about as far north this thing will drop the big snows. Unless the shortwave coming into the sw is being modeled poorly on its strength. Toledo looks good back towards N ind.

Jan 5 2014 for me. Heres to hoping a nw jog within 48 hrs like that one.

Its gotta surprise the nws mets how many real weather nerds/snowstorm nerds there really are out there. Sometimes when they're writing their AFd's and social media posts, I think that they forget that a large number of people actually read them lol.

This nwschicago employee wasnt ready for all the weenies to come at them this morning. Diggin a deeper hole.

Looks like we may be waiting until tonights 0z suite to roll out before booking our flights. Its never easy ehh.

I think its still snowing at the end of the run?

Jonger

As stated earlier, theres so many moving pieces to this, some still offshore, so a bump more north is possible, or south. Its anyones guess.

Its been chilly, in the 50s here in fort myers past few days. Gonna be in the 80s n sunny all week so its gonna have to be a lil more north tomorrow for me to leave lol. I forget, you're in dallas?

Not complaining just discussing lol. 2 feet+ or bust.

Well it didnt go south, just the orientation went more w-e up this way. Im hoping by tomorrow 12z we'll have a better idea.
