Not the greatest storm for the Detroit area from any model. Thinking 2"-4" in total accumulation. From what we have been used to it looks great to me!! Even better is the longer term storm potentials. I'm hopping every one gets there blowers ready !!!

Im thinking 1-2" seems the most likely, I really hope Im wrong. And Ill be P*SSED if we dont get any accumulation. This storm will not equal our arctic front snowstorm of Feb 10/11, 2012 locally, but for many to our west, it will be the best winter storm since the winter of 2010-11.

One thing I do notice when looking at 2m temps on the models, is that SE MI wont have the crazy drop areas to our S and W will have. With the L passing, even once rain turns to snow, we will stay milder (say 30-33F?) while south of us in IN/OH temps will be plummeting through the 20s and maybe teens.

Because it's to your west and the storm will be sucking in that cold air around it's core. Also the wind will be coming across a cold, barren bunch of farmland, instead of over Lake Michigan which is warmer

A more southward ejection of a low and slower would be perfect for many along Lake Michigan, timing of the deformation band would be after dark, not that time of day makes a huge difference.

It's mid December. Time to drop the daytime=hurts snow accumulation spiel.

It's all about intensity anyway.

I was looking at the LES band following the storm. They seem to linger in these parts for quite some time. Get under a streamer and one might pick up a quick inch or two. What time will the storm be changing over from rain to snow in these parts anyhow?? If it is a dayime event then accumulations will be slushy then turning to rock that night. That good too cause I love to chemicial plow!

HR 72: 988 MB LOW N/C MI.

1-1.25 QPF across all of WI with 1.25-1.50 starting to show up.

NE Iowa/NW IL gets .75-1.00

La Crosse to just west of Wausau and west receives .5-.75

Wow! Sounds like the 12z GFS run. Low passing near GYY I take it.
