15z SREF plumes for ORD took a baby step up from 9z, less sub 1" members, larger spread between 1-4"

 

Decent cross model consensus for 1-4" of back end defo snows for the N/NW part of the CWA.

 

Hopefully we can get a few more timing changes to go our way and bump these numbers up a bit.

 

Still think this thing looks pretty funky on the models, but at least there is a little more cold air being modeled to work with now. Those earlier solutions just didn't make much sense given the time of year and air mass north of the border. I anticipate some more surprises, but have no idea if they will benefit those of us in the LOT zones. My gut tells me not to expect much snow out of this storm, but it's all a learning process.

edit: looks like I'm getting a WSW for slop & a few inches of snow. That's as good a guess as any, I suppose. Ballsy LOT map:
