Strangely, the 12z GEM had a strong defo zone across MO and IL Wednesday morning, but on the 00z the defo zone has vanished.

It looks like the GEM sends out several smaller waves out of the long wave trough with this run instead of one or two big waves. It would be more of a prolonged moderate type snow event, but in the end the amounts still look very impressive. Definitely a difference when compared to the 12z version, but in the grand scheme of things it's fairly similar in the end results for our area.

Reading all of this and looking at the models and maps, it's hard not to get excited for what could amount to a huge event...

However, my gut is telling me to stay calm until the energy is better sampled. I'm not saying anything bad is going to happen, I think some changes might be upcoming, but based on the consistency of the models so far, I think the changes could be minimal. The only thing I am hoping for is for the better qpf to come farther north into N IL and S WI. Like Justin said, this is going to be a 10-20 year storm for someone.

This is exciting... I haven't had a storm like this to track since last winter.....

GUYS and Gals if your here.

a very large area is going to get hammered with this system.

the nam is strongest and west, but it's also bleeding cold south and would rail a large area with a huge ice storm and snow.

the gfs nails a large area with 8+

the gfs ensemble mean is absurd.

the gem is absurd a huge ice and snow storm.

well the ukmet is the same,
