WAA thumps can be pretty impressive and full of surprises. I'm really hoping that's what happens here because I know better than to get my hopes up on a system of any sort.
I don't want to see another Kuchera map for the rest of my life. I find them most useful when SLRs are sub 10:1, otherwise they just get everyone's hopes up needlessly. If you're depending on ratios, 9 times out of 10, you're going to be disappointed.
Went from hoping for 6" to 4" and now to hoping I can hit 2". Got an inch on the ground, maybe a bit more, but radar looks like shit and I'm not holding my breath for later.
HRRR ticked up (here at least, I'm not looking everywhere so forgive me if it doesn't apply at your house). Maybe there's hope. Hope is such a dangerous thing.
My hope is I can hit 4", though 3.5" will make it the top event of the season. Anything less will definitely be a disappointment, but I'll take whatever I can get.
If this falls apart for the Chicago area, you guys can blame me. I had spinal surgery in December and am still not allowed to lift more than 5-10lbs. So I can't shovel a heavy snow and don't think I'll be out there every 45 minutes either. Needless to say, took the snowblower out for the first time in ages.....so it might be all over now.
It's still the furthest south with tonight's event in the Ohio Valley though it has ticked north toward the rest of guidance. Hopefully it will begin to do the same, but it's stubborn.
