Looking like the first 10-12 days of March will be quiet. Euro has 70s into the west half of Iowa next Monday.

Had a surprising inch of snow this morning. Didn't even know it was supposed to snow lol. Kind of funny, spend several days tracking an event that looked like it could dump 8"+ to within 24hrs, and it gives us a trace, and then something like this happens. Gotta love it.

I just read through the March 22-24 2018 storm thread to cleanse myself of this current storm's disappointment lol.

Should go above 60 on Sunday. Since we have bare ground and it will be quite dry as well by then, hopefully MLI can make a run at 70.

Which makes us completely missing out on the current event even worse. Oh well, we'll always have Halloween. We'll always have Halloween. We'll always hav...

Getting some non-accumulating pixie dust on the extreme northwest fringe. Vis is prob 9.9 miles.

zzzz

Saw about 2 flakes leaving work a bit ago. That was the extent of the storm system for here. What a joke.

Still a bit early, but it's almost time to give out our annual winter grades. At this point I'm thinking an F+ works here. We've had worse winters with less snow, but the majority of the snow this winter fell late at night, lack of a warning criteria event, and constant rug-pulling-out-from-under-at-the-last-minute events have made it a lower grade than what seasonal totals would normally dictate. With how well things went last winter when pretty much everything seemed to work out for this area we def can't complain too much about how this winter went here. If it weren't for the fact that 80% of our less than average snowfall happened in the middle of the night I probably would have given it a D+, or C- even with that models screwing us over and over at the last minute multiple times.

Just another tidbit to lol at. From 7-13" to what will likely be not a flake. This is the granddaddy of all busts for this area.

For a little perspective for those further upstream of this pos. This is how things have changed in the last 24hrs. Who knows what the difference will be between tonight and tomorrow night at this rate. Last night at this time we were looking at this fresh off the press from the 3km NAM. 24hrs later, this is what it shows from the same ending period of 12z Wed.

Wow what a pos of a "storm". This one will be lucky to drop a sloppy inch or two in nw PA.

DVN hasn't updated their fb page in over 12hrs. Last update still shows 8" for QC. I guess that's one way to get around a bunch of angry posts from the public, just stay silent and hope they forget what you posted earlier lol.

Out of the game here obviously, so it almost feels like I'm sitting in one of those lifeboats looking back at the Titanic as she slowly sinks.

Almost seems to be getting worse from southwest to northeast, along the main axis of snowfall. So not only is it shifting southeast, it's weakening from southwest to northeast. By this time tomorrow we might be looking at a 1-3"er from Indy to Cleveland lol.

Haha, no doubt. I guess I'll also have to stick with my call for the biggest dog of the season, the late March southern IL to southern OH whopper.

March is gonna come in like a weak/strung-out pos, and go out like a weak/strung-out pos.

Guess the GFS was a little off with this.

It now looks quite possible that this area, and the QC won't receive a single flake out of this. What an amazing collapse. The 06z 3km NAM showed a stripe of 12-15" for the area. That's 14hrs ago when that model came out lol. Wow. EDIT: From the COD kuchera method, 06z had 15.7" for MLI. The new 18z has 0.1"

That's pretty brutal. I'm sure there's some big busts from the old days I've mentally blocked out lol, but this one would surely rank towards the top if Euro and others work out. 8" still being forecast 12-18hrs from event. Another tiny bump south and it's entirely possible we won't see a flake. You just gotta love this winter.

LMAO!! Feel bad for local TV mets and NWS peeps. They're gonna hear a lot of complaining from the public on this one. NWS still showing 8" for the QC. Worst bust of all time hands down. (Unless there's a last minute miracle lol).

Probably because you would think it couldn't possibly happen yet again right?

DVN still going with 8" for here/QC. Looking more and more like a 0.5-1.5" type of event lol. For whatever reason the models seem to be over-amping/phasing everything in the 30-90hr range this season. It seems like the Euro is slowly reverting back to what it was showing beyond 90+hrs.
