  1. This part makes no sense unless the last part was supposed to be GEFS/EPS. A puzzling discussion for multiple reasons.
  2. Took a quick look at the lake parameters. Nothing really seems to jump out but the airmass is cold enough for some enhancement and the lake is wide open, so I think totals near the western shore could certainly be at least 1-3" higher than farther inland.
  3. I didn't say how long lasting the wetter portion would be. Just that ratios improve with time .
  4. One thing I have noticed over the years is that the tension seems to get ratcheted up with these late season storms. Been on display in this thread. I think it's worse when the winter hasn't been good. Not knowing how many more chances you're going to have this season probably plays a role.
  5. I would agree with this. It will be wet/heavy/sloppy for a portion but ratios should improve with time.
  6. Still having a hard time really getting into this one. Maybe it's due to being too close to the southern edge on most models.
  7. Climo does explain the discrepancy to some extent. Chicago has better big storm climo because of the frequent lake enhanced contribution in those instances. A storm that produces a general 8-10" inland may give 14" to Chicago, or when there is a general band of 12-18" then it may be over 20" in Chicago. Just how it is.
  8. Assuming that differences in qpf amounts aren't driving the differences in snow map output, it may be because of a colder max temp aloft which is the basis of the Kuchera formula. But to confuse things more, there is more than one way of calculating with the Kuchera method.
  9. Don't know what it is but having a hard time getting into the upcoming storm. Maybe things will change if we get unanimous consensus of a foot+ imby.
  10. Look how cold February 2017 was!
  11. Given what has happened many times this season, this may be sort of where you'd want it at this distance if you're near the southern end. But each setup is different and there are no guarantees.
  12. I think it will snow here but absolutely no confidence in anything else. Hopefully it won't take too long to get some clarity but won't be surprised if it does.
  13. Well, it's going to have to have some length to have a shot at 12+. Very hard to pull that off in a short duration storm unless the dynamics are just nuts.
  14. Remember yesterday 12z when it basically had nothing.
  15. Duration looks fairly long for some areas, at least as currently modeled. Would help in getting some bigger totals.
  16. 00z Euro isn't all the way in yet but this run looks dramatically better than 12z.
  17. Still have a rapid deepener on the 00z GFS. Absolutely nothing can go wrong at this distance.
  18. Euro Shmuro. Big flip flop from 00z. Setup is a bit unclear but it should snow somewhere one way or another.
  19. With how big of an area we cover, it's tough to get one in all the states. I can think of some since then that have affected 4 or 5 states but not sure about all of them.
  20. NW IL has been a dead zone for sure in more recent decades. Hasn't always been that way though... that area had quite a bit of strong/violent activity in the more distant past.
