Been chilling with a nothing-burger all morning, but it looks like something may finally be filling in SW

Both the HRRR and the RAP want to drop decent snow imby, with the NAM/GFS pushing the mix line to right above my head. Expecting the kitchen sink today, but what a dicey forecast.

RC’s comments notwithstanding, GFS/NAM seemed to have ticked back north while the high res is south. Going to be one of the more “nowcast” types of storms that we have had in awhile.

I folded long ago, so kudos to those who are staying to see the flop.

LOT: "There are other factors, though, that could play a role in limiting how much snow we`ll get compared to what most model guidance is currently advertising, including the aforementioned dry slot preventing complete saturation of the dendritic growth zone (resulting in poorer quality snowflakes and lower snow-to- liquid ratios) and the possibility of convection to our south limiting much moisture will reach our latitude. Also worth noting is that setups similar to this one featuring a positively-tilted trough and a not overly deep low have also underperformed here in the past when other mitigating factors such as dry slots and moisture robbing have been involved."

GFS has slipped a bit south, but is still a north outlier. Euro is south in and represents a good blend of the GFS & HRRR. 12Z NAM having its issues with snowfall depiction, but looking in line with the Euro. Baum really working this one back to $$

Just some minor noise.

NAM continues to be very uninspiring for this one.

MSP reeling this one in

“60” to Nothing, the saga of the piss-poor GFS”

Northern IL with 2-3", seems plausible.

Awesome. F this winter, I am ready to play some golf.

Hell give me an average April. Seems below has been the norm lately.

Zzzzz

Seems like these "switch flip" winter to summers are becoming more common.

I start to get real grumpy if I am watching the masters with snow outside…

Yep, the look of a MSP special.

Look at the guy with 5 feet of snow on the season flexing on us peons.

Snow on the ground at Christmas definitely gives me the rose colored glasses to this winter to date. Fairly deep snowpack (by this winter's standards) heading into tonight. Good radiational cooling set up, the typical cold spots my make a run deep into the negative teens.

Man, had no idea they were still riding the egg. Saw photos of flowers blooming in Central Park. I'll remember this the next time I am looking at CAD as they get 2'+ with a nor'easter.

From quickly glancing at storm reports, looks to be a very sharp difference in accumulation between a roughly Rochelle to Evanston line north/south. 4+ inch reports north quickly dropping to sub-2”. Will be interesting to see the map when LOT compiles everything

Ended with 4.2” and T of ice.
