It's too bad a low of this strength has such meager moisture to work with. It'll probably still manage to spam QLCS tornadoes though. I'll be chasing regardless because I am so storm deprived.

The WAA hit was more impressive than I expected it to be here. It's not often I get solid snow rates with ripping SE winds. It's too bad it didn't last very long though.

These past 3 winters have been brutal for snow in the Peoria area. This winter sure takes the cake though. It's crazy how many times all models have agreed on a big dog a few days out or less, only to fall apart last second. The snow falling now is dense pixie dust. I'll be lucky to get over an inch where I live. The winter storm warning headlines add insult to injury lol

I shouldn't have stayed up for the 06Z HRRR

Not liking these drier trends, although I really shouldn't be surprised considering how this winter has gone here. If I get 3" out of this, it'll double what I've had all season.

That's about how it has been in my area as well. This has been the worst winter I've ever witnessed.

Looks like I'm going to make it halfway through met winter without having a snowfall >1" IMBY. Extended appears grim as well. Nothing worse than cold and dry.

No accumulation here, and a report of 3.5" 10 miles to my SE. Ouch.

It's hard to get anything done when there are new models to view lol. Today's runs have given some hope for us in the Peoria area, but man what a devastating cutoff on the north side.

Nail biter for me in the peoria area, especially if the northern cuttoff ends up as sharp as the euro is showing. NAM being in south camp has me worried as well as it has sniffed out local snow busts pretty well in recent years.

Not long after I pulled over to watch the Carbon tornado, I saw Greenfield form, and since I was in the path of that one, I had to bail south. I still managed to get some decent views of it as I took my escape route. Greenfield/Carbon was my third set of twin tornadoes in less than a month!

Incredibly early start to spring here. Flowers are blooming weeks ahead of normal and the grass greened up within the first week of the month. I'm actually thankful for the current cool spell that has set in as it should slow things down a bit. Fruit crops will take big losses in a seasonable April freeze if growth gets much further ahead.

Yeah it's the 84hr NAM, but GFS is onboard too. It's something to watch at least.

PIA set the all time February and winter record high AGAIN yesterday, with the temp plummeting 61F over the 14 hours. Insanity. I chased yesterday and busted on the dryline, but was able to get a distant view of one of the tornadoes in the suburbs.

Peoria, IL got to 77F today, smashing the all time high temperature for both February and met winter overall. Chase mode activated for tomorrow. As they say, you don't get that kind of warmth in winter without somebody paying for it!
