still think a small thread for the 1-4" event Saturday night could be done. FYI....this is as of now the biggest accumulation event of the season for me, potentially. ooofff.

impossible to deny, 12z mid range runs coming in hot

the December 19, 2022 flashback is real. The burn is still fresh for many here.

miss south

for chicago?; looks to be that way. but some of Chicago's best events were modeled well south 4-5 days out. And yes, old trends die hard.

It's too early and it's taboo, but what have we got to lose? I think someone's going to take on the chin here, and like it. So it's been done.

there was a time long long ago in a land far,far away where you could get a winter storm to move from New Orleans to Toledo. True story.

always been a fan of the Canadian model.

Near miss on Wed-Thurs system followed by cold push puts us in no mans land. Wonder if this CAD lasts longer than 12 days like December 

new gig has me managing snow removal operations throughout the midwest for a national snow removal firm. Headed to Wisconsin today and if necessary Ohio next week. If the snow won't come to me I'll come to it. I'll provide real pics of what snow on the ground looks like for my friends in Chicago....snow piles,even, maybe

if we come out of this period  high and dry on the snow front  it could really get ugly for Chicago posters.

The weekend storm system potential is another thread the needle scenario.

GHD IV? Y’all ready?

when the rubber band snaps back it snaps hard.

thread evaporation is real

gulp.

observation: The Milwaukee NWS office has perhaps the most bland AFD write ups I have ever seen. Perhaps it's from being mesmerized by staring out the window  at the palm trees in the perpetual 33 and cloudy climate of their tropical paradise.

Yep not expecting anything. Story of this winter so far. Lol

I'm not sure your area was ever in the game here. But a torch for the Wednesday/ Thursday time period is an exaggeration per your current forecast. Slightly above average with a good chance of rain might be more realistic,

#torch

your local forecast:

WEDNESDAY NIGHT  
RAIN IN THE EVENING, THEN RAIN LIKELY WITH  
SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION. LOWS IN THE  
MID 30S. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 90 PERCENT.    
THURSDAY  
MOSTLY CLOUDY. A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW IN THE  
MORNING. NEAR STEADY TEMPERATURE IN THE MID 30S. CHANCE OF  
PRECIPITATION 50 PERCENT.  

right where we want it.

What is suggesting that ?

the weather models

The guy with the green grass better get the tarp out. Metro Chicago headed, if lucky, for a 1-2" thump followed by drizzle and white slush balls falling from tree limbs. Sadly, if you like winter, this is a huge improvement.

00z Euro has CR to Madison cashing in quite nicely, much like back in December.  QC to Chicago points east continue the screwage.  Hope for a bump southeast.

Euro is an toss. Too amped and has been playing this game early on for years, It'll have this over Knoxville by game day. The UKMET agrees with Alek.

Blue bird day. Sun angle rapidly increasing and felt so warm. Worked outside all afternoon in t shirt. Grass still green and we are only 45 days until meteorological spring. This is a wimpy winter for sure.

I think this about sums it up.
