Did hoosier pass out?

Nah I'm here. :lol: Not much to say. The Euro is a positive step but still cutting it way too close. Although things can still change, the relative consistency of these very high qpf amounts should inspire confidence that there will probably be a band of 18-24" snows somewhere.

ORD the winner 2 runs in a row! :thumbsup: what are the odds of that? lol

Just amazing numbers and probably about maxes out what is possible in one storm in the region...or at least what we think is possible. Can't rule out some local totals over 2 feet but would be better to wait before going that high.

850 mb flirts with 0 but LAF gets demolished if it's all snow.

<br />Justin I see you lurking what are your thoughts?<br />

My thoughts are that I'm not going whole hog into any one solution until all the energy is sampled. Trend is important as I always say at this stage of the game. I think GFS/NAM/EURO are getting closer and closer on agreement... still some slight disagreement between the big three but the trend the Euro started appears to have been gradually picked up by the other two. Still watching how strong the models say that high coming down is going to be, and that pool of cold air over NE Canada and what type of blocking or clearing out of the way it does. I still cannot believe the QPF totals from the Euro, seem awfully high and will still use my standard of cutting by a third or so. The GFS, for instance, spits out around 0.80" of water here while the Euro spits out 1.50" so I'll side with the GFS on that one. Still believe though someone will end up with 12-18" potentially, esp. with thundersnow potential in the Southern part of the heavy snow band.

This is going to be an extremely difficult forecast for my region - portions of our region may have significant ice and sleet - heavy snow over our west/northern counties changing to ice - then possibly thunderstorms over parts of our southern and southeastern counties. Possibly even thunderstorm with ice and snow in some counties. Track of the low will be key for our region - of course. Will make for a difficult call.

There's a really good chance for Thundersnow and Thundersleet/ice I believe. Some of the offices out this way mentioned that in the early morning discussions.
