looks like the heavy snow axis has been moving a bit south? Wasn't detroit supposed to be the bullseye?

WAA precip gets to about .5-.7" in NWOH (~8" for FDY)... even the ECMWF had about .5" or so. Then the low seems to occlude further south then previously modeled... deform band still hits DTW hard... but not with nearly the same amount of precip.

Can someone explain to me why, despite very little consensus shift in actual track of the low, the areas of heaviest snow seem to be shifting SE? The low was progged to move from the Missouri Bootheel to Central Indiana and Ohio already yesterday afternoon, yet all I'm hearing is about a SE shift.

The snowfall maps are deceptive because they are for the entire event. The initial WAA snows were not modeled 36 hours ago across northern OH and IN, thus now with 6-8" expected overnight in this area, the snowfall maps give the illusion of the heavy snow moving south, when in fact its just the WAA snows getting beefed up before the low moves up this way.

quick question I am not sure about, which is odd because you'd think I would know this.. But what does the bolded part mean.. what is precip type if 850's are below ut surface is above? BTW the GFS is significantly colder for my location

That is tough. Depends on whole profile of the atmosphere. Could be some partially melted flakes or ice pellets.
