  1. 12z UK is back south and weaker. The UK is caving to the UK.
  2. The UK continues to slowly improve. The western end of the snow band has shifted further north. It's still not as robust as other models.
  3. Through the 12z run, a solid surface low was shown lifting north into northern Illinois. As the phasing has faded/delayed, that low is gone.
  4. DMX has issued a watch for Ames and Des Moines even though the models show little if any snow falling there.
  5. It seems the UK was the only model to see early on that the two waves would be too far apart. The other models are finally seeing it. The Euro may be the king, but it's the king of Turdistan. It has been just about as bad this winter as every other model.
  6. Yep. The UK has been well southeast from the start and has never bought into what the other models were selling.
  7. The Canadian just totally caved southeast. It had been consistently clobbering Iowa. Now Iowa gets nothing. F this winter.
  8. The GFS has shifted east. It appears this system may not phase in time to hit Iowa, outside of the far east/southeast. The darn lead wave is 3-6 hours too fast.
  9. The Euro basically just trended halfway to the UK. ARGH. It is a bit faster with the lead wave and slower with the trailing wave. That's all it takes to ruin/delay the phase.
  10. 00z UK - Slight improvement, but STILL weak and well southeast of the other models. Isn't this supposed to be the second best model?
  11. 00z Canadian - The defo zone is a bit north, but also more spread out and less intense compared to previous runs.
  12. 00z GFS It's not a big change from 18z, but it has pulled some of the snow back away from Iowa again.
  13. The NAM is not the only model trending south. The ICON has taken most of Iowa and Wisconsin out of the snow. It has not just shifted south, but there is more distance between the waves and less/weaker phasing. I hope the ICON is not worth taking seriously.
  14. The 18z op GFS is getting closer to the Euro. The southern edge is farther south and the heavy stuff extends farther sw into Iowa.
  15. That's exactly what I thought. At first glance, it looks like your typical "southern Iowa is mild, northern Iowa is cold behind the front(or still stuck with deep snow)" map, but then you realize the "cold" is 60º.
  16. Chicagoland members won't like the 12z Euro. It has shifted the 500 mb low north to the I-80 corridor (last run was northern MO to central IL), and the surface low gets up to Chicago, so the snow band has moved up into Wisconsin and the WI/IL border region. We don't need this trending any farther north.
  17. The UK just doesn't want to play ball, yet. The problem appears to be the UK is speeding the first wave eastward faster than the other models. It has the trailing upper low like the others, but the first wave is so fast it does not get captured by the trailing energy, so the entire system ends up weak and moisture-starved. I thought we'd see improvement this morning, but this run is actually a step backward again.
