  1. Well this has been underwhelming thus far. Most models had an intense wing of WAA precip here this morning with heavy mixed precip. Temps were marginal to start this morning and are already above freezing. Also the precip was more scattered and showery in nature. Needed that convective nature to help with dynamic cooling. Models show a bigger blow up of precip later but with temps warming quickly probably will be rain. Would love to be in that frontogenic band up north
  2. It definitely was intense. Just didn't last long at all. It was racing. But a nice few hours of snow globe effect
  3. Models have handled this horribly. This moved through incredibly fast and there really isn't anything filling in behind it
  4. Have had absolute rippage a few hours here. Nice fat flakes. Band has been pivoting near IL River. Sadly it looks to be pulling away already. Most models didn't have a huge lull like what radar looks like now from MO into OK. Curious if it will fill back in like what hi res is showing
  5. I think gfs might be on a bit of the dry side as well
  6. I was using COD. I always use COD for HRRR. Loads pretty fast on there. I'm setting my expectations low as well. Lol Yea HRRR seems to be playing catch up this winter. I definitely think it's too low on totals esp given the intensity it had. A lot comes down to this first wave earlier on Wed which looks to be pretty intense. 2nd wave looks more like a long duration light to moderate event
  7. 0z hrrr is abysmal on snow totals. A lot of areas would bust bad through MO and IL if it were completely right
  8. GFS has stayed pretty on course today with nw shift and wider swath of snows. Nam has slowly been bumping nw but narrower swath. I see 0z cmc shifted se quite a bit. Curious to see models after we get sampling of this last piece of energy
  9. Nam definitely a more thread the needle snow. Could be due to a tight area of strong frontogenesis. Those tend to have brutal cutoffs. Globals seem to have a wider band of heavier snow likely due to how the trough is being handled. Curious to see other 0z guidance
  10. Looks like nam continues to cave to other models. Another step NW. It is a lot narrower with the snow and and has a very small corridor of significant snow with a medium sized area of 2-3in
  11. This shall be an interesting few days of model battles. Lol. GFS certainly took a drastic shift. Nam attempted to but not as drastic and a much narrower band of snow. GFS was more spread the wealth. Lets see what King Euro shows
  12. I mean yeah it can change but trends definitely not going in the right direction as of now
  13. Another winter storm DOA. Is it tornado season yet? This has been the lamest winter for a good wrapped up winter storm
  14. Pretty much the story of winter 2019-2020. Seems like the trend this winter is to look good in the long range then slowly fall apart as we get closer. Hoping we can get at least one decent wave out of this
  15. Man Rockford is in the sweet spot tonight in a training heavy band
  16. Well the last hurrah of this system sure went to crap. For such a pretty system on water vapor, it definitely isn't living up to how it looks. Lol. Lack of cold air ftw
  17. None of the models this morning are initializing well this morning with current low strength and placement. Most of them have a very broad 1012mb low over central IL and as of 1331z there's a 1009mb low just west of STL
  18. Ready to punt this sloppy mess of a storm. What happened to real winter storms? Seems like this last part is pushing more and more ne on model runs
  19. Finally ripping snow here. Nice fat flakes. But doesn't look like this will last super long tonight
  20. Same thing here. Pretty uneventful so far. Feel like Fri night into Sat will be best here
  21. I'm just surprised snowflakes are so tiny. I think my marginal temp now isn't helping. Snow barely accumulating
  22. Snow returns seem to be drying out in Peoria area. Seems like that band is struggling to lift north as well. Flakes are like pixie dust so far
  23. On temperatures? I'm thinking it's advancing the rain snow line west too quickly
