Obviously still a little early but I can see lakeside areas staying warmer a bit longer with significant qpf/snow until the winds turn offshore. With wet snow and winds cranking up, that could get interesting.

That lake can really mess things up for snow chances. I have had the wind turn off shore during the octobomb and I had only a little mixing with no accumulations. People away from the lake usually get the best snows! But this is a completely different storm so who really knows I guess.

I have this feeling that this storm is going to end up tracking even farther north than what is depicted right now. We have seen this how many times over the last several years? This type of setup almost always ends up with a strong NW trend on the models.

It truly wouldn't surprise me if this ends up being a NW MO/CEN IA/WRN WI special that jet energy is going to cause explosive/rapid deepening for a period of time at least which will pull this West but who knows.... I won't really trust a model with confidence until Friday most likely.

I think this time around with other factors in place it can only go so far Northwest.

I agree. With such a potent jetstreak digging down the backside of the trough, it would seem that there's a limit to how far north this can go? Maybe I'm off base though.

That plus there still is a -NAO and there is a PV to the north.

GFS thermal fields look more like that of a clipper.

It moves almost east from the plains to Lake Erie or so. Although not an actual clipper, it sure isn't a big powerful low coming from Texas either. I suppose that's why the thermal fields are that way.
