Weather Mike

Yea it was ok but obviously not what we wanted. This thing underperformed for us in downtown. Hope the UP of MI gets their feet of snow and this does not underperform.

appreciate you sharing that. thank you

I dont recall such a lack of precip now shown on models regardless of who got how much now. I think you cant point out one observation place and defend anything. Again just trying to learn as I look at the radar and wonder why this fell apart with lack of precip in WI/MI in certain areas.

my lack of meteorological education is possible but I dont see how anticipated snowfall totals will hold up in the UP MI etc or places like Green Bay unless things change. I don't recall the models showing this but again it could be my lack of knowledge

On radar this thing looks like it’s falling apart or having a huge dry slot coming in. Am I wrong ? Being honest ?

I am in downtown Minneapolis. Yes I wish we got crushed but congrats to those further south of us that got under that nasty band. Its still snowing good now and the winds are howling. Many cars stuck on the roads as I walk around. Not sure why people travelling on the roads today ?

I am about to land at MSP so this will be fun ! Hoping for the best here.

thanks as I follow you and you may not know, but I have learned a lot from you.

I wish there was more posts like the NE threads. This is a huge storm and its like crickets in here and if this was the NE thread it would be page 10000 by now. Just sucks living in the Midwest with the lack of enthusiasm as there is a lack of expert opinions and discussions to learn from by underlinks like me

We need a thread to talk about years past events and keep this about the current upcoming system

Cant wait to see if the trend continues tonight. I have to head to the cape friday night so excited to hopefully see this move further NW on future model runs and really give SE NE a big hit. Good luck everyone !

Agree what do you think. LOT has reduced downtown Chicago amounts despite some recent model runs showing a good >9 inch dump. It’s like they are assuming the worst is going to happen so don’t get too excited in the city.

I'm in Tampa on a layover, ORD this afternoon and then hunker down. We need Saturday afternoon to deliver an inch an hour to get us 9+. If we can get 3 by noon .5/hr for 6 hours we will be in good shape. Funny I am in Miami waiting to fly to ORD. Can’t wait for some snow on Saturday in Chitown. Good luck to everyone and today’s model runs !

When we see it decrease that’s a good sign we will see it head more east. I just hope it’s south of the Bay Its nasty in Tampa now. I am on the bay.

If the eye wall is undergoing replacement then I assume it could regain strength and be more resistant to the shear/dry air vs if it underwent EWR later today ?
