  1. Good point. All it would take is some very minor low level cooling for the GFS to suddenly spit out quite a bit more snow.
  2. The COD precip type map has snow in Chicago. Kinda odd. Forecast soundings have a layer just off the surface around 0C so maybe that is screwing with the precip type.
  3. Those are cool. Have seen those around Gary before.
  4. Mentioned earlier about the limited diurnal temp swings. The 18z GFS is downright preposterous in that regard. Verbatim on the 2m temp plots, it has ORD between 30-35 degrees for 162 consecutive hours during/after the storm. That seems almost impossible to keep temps in that tight of a range for that long.
  5. Some nice hits in there. Just have to factor in a melting/compaction element which means that depths probably won't be as high as what falls.
  6. Hope something like this doesn't verify. The slowing eastward progression of precip is plausible though given the upper ridging that has to be dislodged. Just a question of where that happens.
  7. That was actually one of the CIPS analogs last time I checked. Seriously.
  8. Forget the wsw and consider yourself lucky if there's an advisory with how prolonged this is.
  9. The sheer duration of this thing almost ensures a 3-6"/4-8" type area. Long duration events are better when the thermal profiles aren't marginal though.
  10. Hard to say for sure since the evolution is a bit odd but not inconceivable that it could snow for the better part of 48 hours in some places.
  11. That is stretching it lol. Had about a half inch when I left this morning. Been snowing lightly since then so should at least eclipse the 1" mark. Notable thing in this winter.
  12. Might as well throw out the HRRR. Run after run initializes too far east with the band. Not sure if advisory has/will be met in Porter county. Heavier echoes now into far northeastern Lake.
  13. Winds have flipped offshore in southwest MI and also turned northeast around Michigan City. Land breeze in action.
  14. Models are slightly too far east with the lake band. The below 9 pm CST position on the HRRR isn't going to work out unless it actually were to creep east in the next hour. Looking upstream over the lake, echoes are basically pointed right at Porter county and into the Porter/Laporte border area. So adjust the timing for a quicker westward move than this, at least in the short term.
  15. Based on latest runs and trying to extrapolate radar, I think the band may be out of much of Porter county around midnight except maybe west. It looks like there are some fairly intense showers in there so the advisory should work out. Then the question is if it semi-stalls out around eastern Lake/western Porter for a while or continues to steadily shift west.
  16. Kind of a significant difference in thermal profiles between the NAM and GFS at 84 hrs, especially south of I-80 back toward the western Midwest. Both have precipitation in the same area so can't say it's because one model has precip and the other doesn't.
  17. Well, LOT pulled the trigger on an advisory for Porter but mentioned some concern/uncertainty on westward extent of band.
  18. We might set some record for hours spent in the low-mid 30s.
  19. This looks more like a March/April system, but here we are in January. At least there's a shot.
