Yep, we can get hit pretty hard here. Hopefully the warmup next week doesn't do a number on the snowpack. Next week's storm is still iffy. The overnight models trended a little colder, but colder trend was erased by today's midday models. Still have to see what the ECMWF has to say.
These Chicago-Detroit storms have to be watched as we could get a nasty mix of snow and ice or if the storm strengthens, it can blast rain & 50°+ this way. There is nothing that melts a snowpack (even one that is like concrete) faster than several hours of 50° and rain.
Keep fingers and toes crossed. Lol!
