Miss south stank. Can the NAM be any more obvious with that dead spot here? Lol

As Rodney Dangerfield would've said "My one minute of Amwx fame...for all the wrong reasons"

Beavis? That you?

We interrupt this broadcast.. I said that exact thing about today's storm. "How could it fail to beat 1.5??" ..FAIL

How about down to 1"

Abysmal winter continues. Never covered the grass blades. Scratched my way to a solid 1" And I mean we've yet to hide the grass here one time. Not a street plow to be seen. Is this SOH??

WPC

Glad this hitting here during peak cooling and not the opposite.

Yep. Currently no mention of mix here but I will be surprised if we manage to avoid it completely. It's a theme this winter. Both biggest snows have melted to some degree within 12 hrs after falling. Still seems northern SEMI would get a WWA.

At least the drying and dying seem to have taken a pause. The bar is set so low for me personally, this will have to work really really hard to NOT be my biggest event of the season. You guys in SEMI on the other hand..

No, it's just the usual GRR "discounting" which may actually work in their favor with this one.

Perhaps, but you didn't go from this: To what that Ukie just showed over my way. What happened to the days when models actually got beefier close in?

What gave me away?? It has trended perfectly. I just can't remember it doing that great calling storms up to this point. Ofc, I wasn't very invested in those so my memory could be sketchy. Do tell if I have the wrong impression of this version of the GFS.

Too bad that's never correct. You can tell by the way it keeps hope alive for SMI.

Whadda ya mean? Would be my biggest event of the season perhaps doubling my biggest storm. (and would fit perfectly with this POS winter)

Tell me about it. I feel like an extension of SOH with +/-1" snows that either melt on contact or within a day. This ain't winter.

Traditional 5-9 incher incoming.

Northern piece will have it's say via sampling, and bump us back a few counties south. Then it's game on for qpf, track, strength, longevity, etc..

Agree. Those were total weenie porn for our region. Still liking this potential. Just need to lose the sh*ts the bed east trends.

Current Euro seems a bit more generous with snowfall than it used to be. As for GHD-2 here is a h54 map at 10:1 and it looks beefy for Chicago. That's about the time-frame things really began to gel. 48h GFS pumped out the greatest totals on a map for my region since I've lived here ('02). And to clarify, I mean totals that were realistic.

Detroit magnet!

"some" hyperbole in my post perhaps, but the reference to Modoki ENSO states being more common and hostile to SMI is from professional sources, not just my own hunch, lol. Wrt Stevo's post, I'm not a fan of the huge swings from great months to complete dumpster fire months/periods. Like you, I much prefer some steady ground covering snows with temps to retain it. As you say tho, the past 15-ish years have been a mostly snowy and AN snowfall period. Just not liking the current string of downers. No legit Watch to Warn system in nearly 3 years and that was barely qualified in the end. Need to head back to Feb. of 2016 for a double digit storm here.

Thanks to "Modoki" everything in this warm earth era. This is a big reason why the GL's have warmed the most of any N Lat region in the CONUS. Seems whether it's a Modoki Nino or Modoki Nina, we get screwed the worst. Pretty soon, we'll be reading about "Modoki Neutral ENSO state". Just you watch. Snowmobile track racing is on life-support in our state. They actually race on ice and temps just refuse to cooperate. Ice sculpture events during "winter-fest" = forget it! Record Ice fishing rescues -> happening!

That's not zzz, that's winter! Another 0.4" today. 1.5" = largest event, with 11 of 15 amounts <1". My monthly totals for NDJ look like event totals in even the lamest of seasons. Greatest depth was 1" (but lasted <12 hrs). But hey, I could be Hoosier. At least I've had a borderline shovel event.

Snow cover baby, snow cover!
