Wanted to also say Blizz if you need someone to talk to or pm let me know. I am going through something similar to you. My mom has stage 4 cancer and is at Roswell every other day trying to beat a very rare form of cancer. So give me a pm anytime!
Chicago is getting destroyed right now by lake effect, a really rare event

There are going to be some crazy snowfall rates overnight. I need to take a nap so I can get my 3 am jeb walk in. If you guys know me I'm all about the rates and its tough to get high rates around here in synoptic events so I'm excited.
I still pretty good where I'm at, pretty far west. I'll take the risk of riding the taint line to get the good QPF and heaviest snow rates. But any last minute ticks and we will have to worry even here.
You guys all said something about last minute SE shifts? That hasn't happened in quite awhile. Like I said earlier, it always goes further NW then modeled last minute. (At least this season has)
