Thanks for the insight.  It just really makes you wander which way this is gonna go.  I've fought the NW trend all my life, now i'm fighting the SE trend.  Maybe it's time to move, lol.  

Just live a nomadic lifestyle. Instead of following herds of buffalo you can chase snowstorms.

I agree with you in going Watch for Cook and dropping to an Advisory later if necessary

Yeah I think a watch could've been justified for Cook, and certainly for Lake/Porter given the earlier onset of the lake band there (really just about 30-36 hours away now), although it is starting to look more like a Cook/Lake IN favored setup and maybe a little less threatening for Porter, but who knows with this type of thing.

Just posted below you, was gonna say since LES inherently is a bit more uncertain, if they're gonna do it, probably not a big deal to wait until tomorrow morning's issuance.

I think I got spoiled by that early trigger on the late January system.  :P

Right before I moved here.  I took a quick look at that event the other day and Delta T's were similar.  Not sure how the other parameters compare though.  I know that 2014 event had 4-5" per hour rates around Griffith.  Usually you're gonna need pretty good inversion heights to get rates like that.

For those of us on the northwest fringe for the synoptic, the 18z Euro bumped northwest a bit. LE looks decent too. If wanted I can post the WeenieBell Kuchera.

 

Can we get a last minute shuffle like Jan 4-5 2014?

 

 

 

 

Yes Please!!  I remember that shift oh so well

It's just mind boggling to look at the Euro, and to almost discount 75% of the wester edge.  Some Mets are probably gonna lose some sleep over that.  To be 10-15" on the Euro, and 2-5 on the GFS......Normally I'd be ecstatic 36 hours out.  

The big thing as noted earlier are the ratios... we’re talking 20 to in some cases nearly 30:1 with temps in the lower teens. I believe the EURO (kuchera) is onto this.
