6z Euro ticked down again. Hopefully the bleeding stops at some point.
DVN still going with 6-8" across the board, but that seems a bit high at this point unless model QPF ramps up again last minute.
I was all aboard the futility train for sure. Taking 3.6" of snow into almost mid Feb, there was a legit shot at attaining the all-time low snowfall with how horrible things had been going.
I'm just glad we aren't going to nickel and dime our way to just above the futility record like I had feared.
DVN disco mentioned 15kft dendritic growth zone up to 550mb with relatively light winds throughout that portion of the column. Could lead to LSRs pushing 20:1.
I would say this is worse, as if it were wet at least the moisture would be beneficial. The best thing about this winter is there hasn't been any heartbreaks from last minute system shifts, as there's been basically nothing to track.
Still haven't covered the grass here this season. Think our heaviest snowfall so far has been 1.3" lol. Only been briefly white a handful of times. Most pathetic winter I've seen hands down.
Looks like a thin glaze possible here, but heavier precip shunts east, so not too impressed for this area. Perhaps later runs will bump heavier precip back northwest.
MLI and DBQ should cross the 20 inch threshold below normal tomorrow.
If Chicago was in this much of a deficit there would surely be a thread dedicated to it.
The Pacific firehose is gonna dump 10-20" of precip in the Sierras of CA over the next 5-10 days. That hasn't happened all winter, so there's definitely a change afoot.
Alright, after I post this I'm gonna stay off the internet for the next 15 days, and assume that what is on the map pic below will in fact happen when we get there.
