Warm noses historically under done. Push this 100 miles north. In all reality the Tennessee ice storm is now the ky ice storm as this is an i70 special

Another nudge north. Although you can tell the precip shield struggles to get any further north.

Liking 2-5” locally.

Let's reel this one in. Going to need to add MI to the title.

6z rgem is a thing of beauty. Gotta be record ratios.

I dont like to jump on ratios too much. Sometimes when its bitterly cold you get sandy sugar snow instead of fluff. Either way, good trends.

Same but it's not gonna take much qpf to stack a foot. Pretty rare to get high ratio snow for a potential somewhat big dog.

Model consistency has really lined up.   I like where we are along i70.  We have some breathing room for a last minute nudge north, since the heaviest snow right now looks like southern Ohio along the river.   
Actually more worried about dry air and push south vs a big push north.   ILN referenced the challenge of the initial push of moisture overcoming the dry air.     Gotta wonder if we have hours of a virga storm to start..

Buckeye's storm

Changing my 2”-4” to 6”-8” for Cincinnati.  Meanwhile two of my sons are prepping down in TX for what looks like repeat of 2021. (I was there for that one)

Yes. Was more from a forum perspective. If I can get what the GEM or Euro show IMBY I’m good. Plus a couple more days of model watching while locked in from the deep freeze…..hoping.

dude....cincy and towns along the ohio rive are ground zero for big snows west of the apps.   If we get 6-10 you guys are easily 12+

not even a decade in the rearview, lots of clunker seasons to go before we're due again

0.20-0.30" of QPF on the ensembles. Think my call right now would be 24 hours of arctic sand for a grand total of 2-4". 

6z NAM with a classic jump way north. Sell as usual.

I noticed on the 0z Euro, the 850 low gets pretty far north. Ends up flipping places like DC to pingers and zr after an initial thump of snow.   

SGF to BMG to CMH looking pretty locked in for 10"+.

[A-L-E-K]

I saw arctic sand at ozzfest in 1998, they sucked

[Chicago WX]

This piece of crap is supposed to replace the NAM at some point, I believe. But hey, dare to dream.
