3/15-3/16 Winter Storm

[cmillzz]

Looking like it could be a decent hit for a large chunk of Wisconsin. May be the last one of the season.

[HillsdaleMIWeather]

Lots of run to run variability with this one, small shifts will be the difference between rain, ice and snow for peeps in Northern Illinois and Southern MI 

[RemoteSenses]

I refuse to believe this even with multiple runs being somewhat consistent…..

[A-L-E-K]

euro more of a thunderstorm look here while ukie/gfs selling some cement

either way, should be another nice chunk of qpf to keep the d1 away

lol GFS consistently giving us biblical amounts.  Can’t wait for the inevitable cave.  
 

thinking 3-6 is a good first guess here

it's not totally alone and eps did nudge south with accums in WI, this could in fact be your moment

Punch 1 then punch 2. Robust Lake enhanced snows up N for tomorrow night. This time of year, night snows do well. LP is modelled to track SE right under me, and head E thru the Central Lakes. 

[Brian D]

With the tracks of these systems, central Lakes is going to pile up.

Welp, that was fun for the few runs it last. Congrats MSP.

[DocATL]

Epic snow for Wisconsin and long overdue. Decent stuff for Iowa. Nobody deserves it more.

Hoping for a few showers.

I'd be very concerned if I lived in Wisconsin because they've yet to get any of the snow you've predicted over the past month. 

[McHenrySnow]

EURO south. lol

[A-L-E-K]

enjoying the qpf bullseye

[ILSNOW]

Naperville does well on the 12z Euro!!!

[RemoteSenses]

Gonna be a sleet fest here because we ain’t getting 3” of ice lol

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Wouldn’t mind a nudge north but I have a feeling this is an I-90 special. It’s been an entertaining week of model watching already, 12z euro is about as good as it gets

[Chicago916]

EPS big shift South?

[Chicago Storm]

the models are trash, op’s and ens alike.

tune in on saturday to see what will happen.

[Geoboy645]

Some of the model runs are uhh something for this area that's for sure. There is definitely a lot of moisture around to the S so I am not totally discounting higher totals. A late major snowstorm is a pretty typical thing around here in a transitioning Nino spring. With the recent notable examples of 4/13-15/18 and 3/25/23. However, being so warm ahead of said storm is unusual. Could be a very interesting start to next week here.

Like I always love to ask, what would synoptically make the difference in this case?  

[cmillzz]

other than the Euro/EPS, seems as though there’s been an overall north trend.

Didn’t the Euro have a terrible performance with the EC bomb last month? Guess we’ll see how it does this time around

[Baum]

Does have the makings of a Rockford to Waukegan line and north special. I’ll enjoy by backside wind whipped inch

2 pages if it were 75 miles S. 1 of them all bitching and moaning.

12Z Euro spitting out 5 to 1 ratios for NE IL. Get out the pick axe's lol

[michsnowfreak]

I told a local weather friend last month that we are due for some quick melting snows late winter/spring to beef our total up. I said its only fair because we had such extensive snowcover during the winter but snowfall is near avg. Unfortunately mother nature may take that literally, as we have 2 chances of snow (fri morning and sun morning) that would melt as soon as they are done falling. At least as the models portray it now.

[DocATL]

LOL…it’s coming. It took longer to materialize but such is the way of the world.
