    lot of what I'm reading basically has march endices headed towards what we wanted in January. That said, that has normally not played out this winter.  But now that were headed towards spring....................

    True.  In relation to the overall winter it may not be much better, but in relation to typical March.....

    As someone who runs a spring youth sports organization and is hoping for outside field availability.....

    it's the one that  will bomb at the end of the month and  tank /spike all the relevant endices for winter weather in March...killing an early spring and severe season.:gun_bandana:

    I don't think it's going to kill an early spring based on the fact this has been a muted winter overall, but I hope it does diminish severe season.

    Probably obvious, but just passing along the note that the WSW for the more NW counties (Winnebago, Boone (mby), DeKalb, McHenry, Ogle, Lee) is different than the one for Cook, in terms of snow/ice amounts.

    Correct. 

    Multiple Watches issued with varying frozen/snow accum possibilities.

    I totally agree. Find it pretty unlikely that this would have rain all the way into northern IL. Our last system came in from the SW and was able to pull a big slug of warm air north. However this system is diving SE from the north so it really won't be able to pull as much warm air north given its distance from the Gulf

    Untrained opinion here, but there are 850 temps nearing +10C in Calgary as this starts diving down.  Models have it bringing it's own warm air with it.
