I'm surprised at the relative lack of big lake snows there. Ever since you moved from LAF back to where you are now I can't remember you having a major lake event there. Maybe I just forgot lol. I always figured anywhere from the IN/IL border and points east got blasted all the time during the winter. Guess it isn't as common as I thought.
Hopefully we can get a system to track sometime soon that has a snow band that's wider than 50 miles. This sub desperately needs a share the wealth system.
These positive tilted/southern stream dominant systems always underperform with cold sector precip. Cold sector precip is narrow/fleeting where it occurs. Without a northern stream component to phase with this will be a non-event except for maybe a 25 mile wide area that gets a quick 2-3" of slop.
Days are already getting longer. Have gained about 15 mins back of sunset time. 8 weeks of met winter left, and then it's time to start looking towards spring. Let's hope something worthy of tracking shows up later this month, or in Feb.
