THIS. 100%. Lol. Central IL has been stuck in between split flow mostly.
Not trying to compare numbers but you guys definitely have had more opportunities so far this winter. Have they all panned out? No. That's what I was saying. But I know most of IL north to south is below average on snow. Hopefully this storm can give a lot of us some decent snow.
Still doing better than this area of IL. By far worse winter I can remember snow wise here. Have had more rain and icing events than anything. I know I'm complaining and I apologize. Just been a highly frustrating winter as it has been for a lot of us in this thread unless you live in Iowa. Ha. I could see a front end thump before switching over to rain or mix and then probably back to snow as low pulls away.
I was! I was on the northern fringe yesterday of the heaviest swath. Now back to the southern fringe. I can't win this winter man. Feel like north shifts aren't done either. My earlier call of another I80 north special will probably be right. Euro still good here but a little too close for comfort. Biggest snow so far here was like 2.5-3in after the ice storm on New Year's Day. Forever riding the gradient here. It always seems to ride along I74 bisecting my county.
It definitely was a more spread the wealth event instead of a narrower zone of heavier snow. You're going to be in a solid ice age soon with all that snow pack.
I called it earlier today. First storm missed me north so this one will probably miss me south. Lololololol. Curious to see if euro shifts south. I was on northern fringes of heaviest swath on 12z euro. Gfs definitely came south but it's thermals are trash. Anyone have 0z cmc? It got stuck loading at 24hrs on tropicaltidbits.
That has definitely been the story of this winter. A very persistent storm track in all directions around us. I'm ready for tornadoes by March so these snowstorms need to start happening between now and Feb
Yea not even get remotely invested in this till Fri or Sat. About this time with current storm I was in bulleyes then to Iowa it went. Lol. Hopefully this storm won't putter out as fast as this current storm. Sad we can't get strengthening storms this winter. It's like well I hope this one will weaken slower. Lol. But here's to Euro/Gem being right! Would be nice to see areas south of I80 get some love for a change but can't deny trends this winter so I'm sure it will find a way to push north.
Models have done abysmal with this. They kind of picked up on the morning one but I didn't expect one tonight again. We won't even get an inch of snow. Looks like a glaze of sleet and ice with a dusting. Dry air FTL
No idea why the news is still saying 1-3in here. We will be lucky to hit an inch. Going to get dry slotted for 2nd time today. Lol. And the dude complaining in CR can shove it. You been spoiled all season. Nearing end of January and haven't even surpassed winter storm warning criteria for season total. Lol
We always fall right on the gradient here. Blows my mind. Wouldn't shock me if we missed mostly everything but holding hope hrrr/rap are right. Lol. At this point I would use hrrr/rap for guidance and not gfs, euro, nam.
