if you insist. . -
Snow squall weakened prior to hitting here at home, but still came through with a period of 3/4SM visibility and ~45MPH wind gusts.
-
75MPH wind gust at MWC (Milwaukee-Timmerman Airport).
-
72MPH wind gust at ETB (West Bend, WI).
-
It looks like these snow squalls are being aided by a plume of good lapse rates.
-
62MPH in Wisconsin Rapids as well earlier.
-
Fairly widespread +TSSN now… .
-
+TSSN with the frontal snow squalls coming through the LSE CWA. .
-
Final snowfall totals of 2.9” at ORD and 3.8” at MDW. .
-
Final snowfall total here at home of 3.5"

-
Death band has hit here... Vis down to about 1/8SM with +SN.
-
Just as the death band moves in.
-
Good burst of snow now, with 1/4SM vis and +SN here at home. Few tenths of accumulation so far.
-
hey, not as far of a drive...might make it on time.

Snow has commenced here.

This one likely has the best shot of ending up further north to some degree when compared to GHD3 and the current storm system, given the setup and trough orientation on paper currently. It’s not even all that much of an overrunning event, but more-so the development of an actual storm system due to the interaction of a wave ejecting from the Baja and another wave with the main trough coming through the West. . -

First potential is 21-22nd, not 22-23rd fyi. . -
Low temp of 41 at ORD on Wed broke the record high min temp of 39 (1998/1927). .

insta-toss.

Makes sense. In this case trajectories are more towards the N/NE, instead of veering east with a squall line racing well east…That’s when we run into more of an issue. In this case the N/NE trajectory will cause an overlap of some convection making it into the cold sector, which is why we have that narrow axis of ‘higher’ snowfall accumulations being possible. Without it, deformation axis snows are lower end. .

0z NAM SE/weaker/drier. .

As did the GEM and Euro (Also bump SE). Something to watch for the Detroit crew and others in the main axis. .
