thanks for this. It maybe all I get snow wise through the rest of the month.

at this rate I might get an inch and a half over the weekend.

beggars can't be choosers.

I'm guessing the new NAM didn't up my back yard totals to 4-6".

over performer on the table.

yep. sun angle season. And I just think year 2 Nina not going to bounce back like last year. Hope for an early spring. 2012 redux.

feel for the (western)Ohio folks. Instead of a winter storm watch they have a suicide watch.

final call .7

slip sliding in play

can always count on the 18Z NAM.

if only this were sarcasm not fact.

time to close this thread.

expect big changes today: "IS STILL OFFSHORE OF THE PACIFIC NW AND WILL JUST BE GETTING BETTER SAMPLED BY THE RAOB NETWORK TODAY." =Quad cities AFD

hybrid = wild ride. buckle up.

Agreed. Wishcasting, I'll hope for a lake flurry on a northeast wind. When was the last time that happend on storm track that went from Minnetonka, Mn. to Flippin, Ark.?

eastward shift back towards models earlier solutions begins today.

waiting on the 18Z NAM 84 hours out to bring back a snow event is no way to live.

LOT's AFD this afternoon regarding this system is a mastery in how to polish a turd using the english language. Hemmingway would be proud.

neat head fake by the models the last few runs. HP overplaying its hand for the most part. Gas up the snow blower brush.

not a model hugger by any means but 6Z GFS has it go straight south from Minnesota through Misery. Danmdest thing i've ever seen.

not sure the title. But a non pro viewpoint would be some of the models show an almost north to south movement of this system which is quite unique for your normal clipper type systems.

was pretty much on all 12 Z models and coming and going since yesterday: LOT AFD: A SECOND AND STRONGER CLIPPER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW ACROSS THE AREA. GUIDANCE IS IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE PRECIPITATION COVERAGE WITH A STRONGER UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW, BUT THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THE LOW REMAINS UNCERTAIN. THE EURO AND CANADIAN BRING THE LOW INTO THE AREA FRIDAY EVENING AND EXITING SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE GFS BRINGING IT THROUGH LATE IN THE EVENING AND EXITING IT SATURDAY EVENING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE ONCE AGAIN LOOKING TO BE BELOW FREEZING INDICATING AN ALL SNOW EVENT WITH DECENT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE. Quad Cities: FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... PERIOD WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED IN SUBSEQUENT FORECAST PACKAGES. THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT OF ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA, ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN IOWA AND NORTHWEST ILLINOIS. Indy: ENSEMBLE SPREAD GROWS CONSIDERABLY TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND WITH SEVERAL VARIATIONS OF SHORTWAVE AMPLITUDE AND TIMING. THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WHEN MOST OF THE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOW A DEEPER MORE AMPLIFIED TROUGH AND SUFFICIENT MOISTURE. THERMAL PROFILES WOULD SUPPORT ALL SNOW.

bonanza compared to the map postings 4 days ago showing zero qpf through the end of the month.
