Anyone else taking up drinking to deal with this weather pattern?  The struggle is real.  

I'm on beer 3 at this point.

Still rain here.

A mix of rain and melting flakes IMBY.

18z NAM with a NW burbs special.

Just now, Stebo said:

It is also the RAP which is pretty low grade these days compared to other models. 

It's biggest achievement was nailing the NW tick during GHD I.

Alek trolling aside, something like this is a reasonable concern imo.  Somebody is probably going to get screwed with how this pivots, just a matter of where.  On the 18z RAP, it has the better band settling south with minimal time spent over Chicago.

Probably Alek.

December 26, 2009 anyone?

Been a hostile location since the legendary winter of 2013-2014. Winters have sucked here since. 

I know this is nuts, but I've actually thought for more than a second if the University is running top secret weather modification experiments, it's been that bad.

If the GFS is the most pessimistic outcome, I am comfortable hedging away from that. The only thing worse than this winter has been the GFS' performance. 

It got the stung out garbage storm a couple weeks back but it's been meh besides that.

Nam is zzzz, warmer, north

What an odd storm we have on our hands. Fits this winter perfectly.

This could be a huge win for the GFS or a massive bust.

Nashville native here. Considering a chase to Springfield Friday. For some of you, I get why this is laughable...but where we are, there’s a pretty good chance we get shut out snow-wise this winter. I’m a winter fanatic so I don’t mind the driving if it leads to something. 2-4” for where I’m from is a big deal. Would help to get local input/insight. Who knows...this threat may evaporate in 24-36 making this post a moot point. 

Nashville is such an awesome place, my friend moved there last summer and I drove to visit him over Labor Day weekend. Saw a lot of Illinois license plates.  Good luck!

Hope something like this doesn't verify.  The slowing eastward progression of precip is plausible though given the upper ridging that has to be dislodged.  Just a question of where that happens.

Maybe this can evolve into a GHD II type scenario. Unlikely though.

HRRR shows a changeover back to snow IMBY, will be interesting to see if that pans out.

Snow has begun IMBY. Gonna roll with my previous call of 4.4" of snow from the last storm. The less ice the better...

4.4" down, sleet now.

About to get crushed. Starting to get delusions of 6" grandeur. 

Ripping good here. Looks like an inch down already.
