Yep, updated totals up to 5" to 7". still think we may get the higher end of that. Still some dry air at lower levels to overcome, dewpoint of 7 in Madison. Dewpoint of 5 in Prairie Du Chien with heavy virga overhead
GFS has had the low running from Kansas City to just north of Chicago for the past couple runs. ECMWF has a similar idea. Both bring a big hit to southern Wisconsin. Unfortunately looks like rain for areas further south.
Alright, time to defend my title!

Also I'm assuming you didn't mean last years snow totals for the tiebreakers. Otherwise I think we could all be very accurate with our guesses.
