Yeah, this is a bust. Not a forecast bust, necessarily, just a bust in general. I don't expect anything worthwhile until tomorrow night, as you say and I won't hold my breath for that. Thankfully, I didn't expect much from this - regardless of what the 15z RAP showed yesterday.

Temperatures are really going to preclude good accumulation here. I was hoping for an inch, but I doubt it.

for those of you fond of the RAP

huh?

Nothing. This doesn't even warrant a WWA. I mean, if the squalls materialize maybe a squall warning or a WWA for the possibility, but they're pretty conservative with watches/warnings imo so I don't expect anything.

I had a crappy morning and the piling on wasn't helpful. And you say it's just snow, but snow is literally one of my favorite things in the world. Yes, I can't control it, but it doesn't mean I don't get disappointed when I wake up and see NAM and Canadian models trended much further NW with the heavier snow. Who would have imagined saying that was a bad trend would end up causing so much nonsense? Regardless, I'm done with it. There's no use trying to engage with some posters and that's fine, I know better now.

Not a single one of those runs had occurred when I posted. I thought y'all liked looking at trends at not hugging single model runs, but it appears to be otherwise. Enjoy your dusting that melts the next day. There's also a big difference between 2-3" and 7-10", but, of course, you know that.

Literally no one is melting down. Some people are just a**holes.

Yep, you got me, the 15z RAP is definitely not a complete outlier whatsoever. I better get my shovel ready. I really don't get some of you, other than you're just jerks.

I'd rather expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised than the other way around.

Still doesn't change the fact that it has trended worse for us each run. Monday evening it was looking much nicer. Even yesterday morning. My concerns are the marginal (at best) temperatures and if we don't see steady snow, I could easily see a tenth or two falling and then melting so on and so forth. I have hopes the pattern gets better after this, but I'm not as excited as I had been even last week. Cary's 15" at ORD call by March 1 is looking good.

So you can't. Good to know.

The clouds will help. Of course, your snowpack is a bit deeper than mine. We've been above freezing since 5 am.

Could you elaborate as to how the trends have been GOOD for N Illinois? Or do you just prefer to name-call like a child?

Terrible trends for N IL.

And the Nam.

Sounds really enthused.

Lots of melting going on today - won't have much more than piles and drifted areas left by Thursday night, I bet.

The Euro is gross.

The Canadian has shifted NW. Heaviest snows over Eastern Iowa, NW Illinois, and SW Wisconsin......you know, the places that have gotten all the snow to date. smdh.

NAM joins the Canadian with a few inches in N IL Thursday-Friday.

lol @ ukie mchenry county bullseye!
