Though the amount of snow that's likely to fall in Illinois and Wisconsin, and possibly Indiana and Michigan, appears that it will be reduced compared to what guidance suggested yesterday, I think trying to do "verification" on a feature 48 to 72 hours before it has even happened seems a bit misplaced. I think some of this commentary would be more valid if, come Friday evening, only a couple of inches of snow, in fact, fell.
Since I'll be up in the Fox Valley, I am hoping for a lot of snow, so the recent model trends are just as disappointing to me as they are to many of the rest of you. Just to be clear...
