12z is 10 mb weaker at 06z.

They did also leave off the Indiana counties.

Seems like they are using this data for their afternoon forecast. Earlier it looked closer to the 12:20PM version.

I've been having issues with it on RadarScope. I ended up switching to MDW and ILX to view my area.

Seems like they were pretty bullish with my area this afternoon afternoon as well. They have me at >0.15 ice accumulation which seems to be a bit excessive.

LOT just put up a WSW for every county along/north of I-80 with the exception of Porter in Indiana.

Pretty decent shift south over the day today.

I was really hoping for around 6" or a little more even if we weren't in the main band but it does seem like that's becoming more unlikely. I know this is setting the bar really low but with how the last few years have gone, it would be nice to at least get the grass covered and get a wintery look which appears to be reasonable to expect at this point.

That map is a mess since it includes both events. This isn't perfect but it at least gives a better rough idea of this event. There is still a bit more going in Ohio but the placement is right.

As someone south of I-80 how concerned should the general area be about the ice amounts if solutions like those verify? I know it doesn't take much to cause problems.

I'm just hoping we can get in the main band with minimal/no mixing. I know it's still entirely possible but I'm at least feeling a bit better about it than I did last night.

Starting to feel a bit more hopeful about those of us in and south of the 80 corridor in LOT. It's been a while since we've gotten a solid hit of snow.
