Takes courage nowadays. 6Z GFS backed up at least

Near miss on Wed-Thurs system followed by cold push puts us in no mans land. Wonder if this CAD lasts longer than 12 days like December

Beavis awaiting numbers eagerly...

CMC shows a similar look. Euro seemed to be furthest NW initially with Thursdaysystem and now reflects suppressionof SER and miss to the SE

Long range NAM looks too far SE

If we get to Feb.15th without a decent snow(>3") would rather just see futility records roll out and mild air.

Has March been a big cash in winter month for Chicago?

Looking good for at least 1-3" when all this is done.

If the band shifts NW to MSP will believe it. Otherwise weakening SE track has 4 days (an eternity model time) to materialize.

I'm heading up to Milwaukee to play some golf.

Would it be better if LOT'S official site for measuring snow was more representative of the entire metro area? (ie under less lake influence) Keep MDW as the site for LES enhanced snows but move snow measuring out further west.

Hoping cold air shows up for Norgi ski jump event by end of the month. At least they can make snow.

Believe.....lol

Just NW of ORD toward RFD and MKE and a lot of southern WI did poorly snowfall wise last year. Chicago and just SE over towards DTW did well in a relatively short period of time. Some of it LES bail out for Chicago

No need to go to Europe for winter weather either.

For decent snow seasons you need consistent cold air and moisture. Our area has had neither. Those periods where they intersect seem to be trending briefer and less often with each passing year.

Will be down in Evanston for Northwestern game Wed evening. Maybe some flakes.

You have the hot hand this winter. Usually one area it wants to snow at in our subforum every year.

Played in a high school basketball tournament that holiday. Dad was periodically running out to start the car.

Disparity even greater between RFD at 5.6" for the season

Seems to me there are windows of opportunity each winter. Could argue as to whether the length and number of these windows is diminishing as we move forward. We had one in November and just about finished with this Decembers. Sometimes a pattern emerges as to certain areas being hit repeatedly. This year the upper Midwest with MSP and across Northern half of Wisconsin look favored so far. Probably will have another again latter half of January. So far this winter locally has been about 3 events each barely able to cover the grass.

We're great at <=1" totals
