same boat as me, hoping to get an inch or two before the changeover, and a touch more in the backwash before the cold hits again. Been a fun little storm.
Haven't got out there to snow blow the drive. Thinking about 6" with the back edge approaching though the dendrites have become quite large perhaps getting some lake enhancement involved. Be nice.
With all due respect you had a prof met who works for the NWS out of LOT and within shouting distance of your location say he 's hoping for 4-6" and your talking about a shut out...the negativity is over the top sometimes. It may bust. It happens. But after tracking for 5 days and throwing in the towel as it commences without support is uncalled for. I'm guessing you'll fall into the 3"-6" window.
Not sure how it'll play out, but this has looked like a high end advisory/low end warning type snow since about 12Z Tuesday. And at zero hr it still may surpass that, or not. Welcome to following winter storms.
