I remember Tom Lamiaine on CBS 3 just botching the forecast horrifically. He kept saying the NW suburbs would be off the hook with only a few inches even as NBC 10, FOX 29 and ABC 6 were going all in.
Cross polar flow this early in the year is always nice to see. I just hope we don't empty the clip and somehow reset to a blistering SE ridge for the meat of winter. At the very least this should kick up a good amount of lake effect and start freezing up Canada.
I was born in Philly during the Veterans Day event in '87. My dad said it was not forecast well even in Philly, but the rest of the winter was pretty bland. Would be funny to get that Monday event almost 30 years to the day of the anniversary.
