So like 6-12?

3-7" is too low even for the GooFuS

This seems too conservative for Chicago, even for Angrysummons. Saturday A 50 percent chance of snow after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 34. Breezy, with a southeast wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Saturday Night Snow, mainly after 7pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 32. Windy, with an east southeast wind 25 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Sunday Snow. High near 33. Breezy, with a northeast wind 20 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

It is confusing I agree

I think a tad conservative?

5 bid

This is ridiculous

Held down by NMB clunkers. Most members 10-12

Game on

2018

If i've learned anything...thank god we're on the northern end of the higher totals

I was talking about Southern Illinois/Indiana in my initial thoughts btw

GFS finally caved

SREF largely held firm

Bullish

It’s running out of time

Was never supposed to be anything but that

10:1

This has major blinding cotton balls for hours vibes

I prefer night storms. No melting, no traffic. I’m going to walk down the middle of State Street on Saturday night at 11pm and there will be no one.

18z EPS. Like it

Take the 10:1 and use your imagination

Euro looks pretty identical to 12z

I agree. I think it's a good floor though in case thermals actualize very poor and dendrite quality is sub par. I want to believe over 12" is achievable but bottom line is our climo does not support it historically and this event does not appear exceptional.
