It's been a slow start to the season but a dynamic shortwave trough looks to move through the central US causing lee cyclogenesis and Colorado low moving NE through the sub. Euro(and to a lesser extent the GFS)has been consistent showing a band of double digit snow totals to the NW of the low center and has been trending slightly SE with each. Right now the highest risk seems to be to the north of the WI/IL border.
At the same time a potentially substantial severe risk will be occurring in the southern parts of our subforum.
