ride the euro....

looking like a mere 1-2" before changeover. Have to hope for an earlier onset to do better. In most winters this event is barely worth a look given trends.

^ Fantastic read. Not necessary, as we here all know how difficult it is to forecast, but certainly therapeutic to reevaluate how a system evolved and what caused a forecast to not unfold as anticipated. In my laymen's terms....we got screwed Saturday night from a 3-5 " fall by a transient squall line. In the end, we all took it on the shin with this one. Also, certainly more eloquent and disproves ALEK's "rainer" call. Posts like this show why these boards can be extremely relevant and educational. Thanks, again.

this is our spring. just expect it for another 120 days.

final tally. DAB...ALEK almost hit it spot on......seasonal trends ftw

No question gonna bust on my 3" call. But I do think winter has begun. On to the next.....

coming down nicely. Still got the Christmas stuff up and everything is white and beautiful against the lights. Tremendous winter evening. Hoping to hit that 3.1 call. Going along as expected. edit: only downside rutgers lost.

light glaze on everything in these parts. Frizzle mixed with some light snow. Actually legit snow starting to commence. Not sure if lake aided or the defo band is developing overhead.

LOT 12:01 update still calling for 2-5". Even if it's a 1-3" fall really not a bust for chicago proper...unless your saying the amount of rainfall busted based on forecast. Which is fine by me. I'd rather not waste my winter QPF on nighttime rainstorms.

I'm still in the game. Heavy Rain to a period of Ice and back end Thump. Call of 3.1 could work.

right on track in mby. If I get 3" in the back end. Went as planned. Actually, surprised went to frozen so quickly..albiet light.

It's all about the defo band now.....

you could be right. Pessimism FTL.

wait...you get more than one call ? Hedge...

one man's loss is another man's gain....

time for a call. 3.2" imby

congrats A-L-E-K

congrats south bend.

voice of reason...

looks to me like they simply converted watches to advisories. Which was alluded to in this morning's discussion.

overamped NAM run. easy toss.

There is my call from 3 days back. Heavy Rain. Brief transition to frozen. Back end thump. Too early to spike the ball in the end zone though...

call circa 1974....

The Euro has been doing this quite frequently for the past two seasons. Amps systems too far NW. And then weakens and shears them a to the south east as they approach. Rep is overblown.

yes. I'm thinking just around 2" total.
