Verbatim, pretty good "share the wealth" type storm. Even ORD and MKE, which looked totally out of the game yesterday, make out with AOA 0.25".

I wonder if most of that is LES or if it is the NW edge of the synoptic snow, I know some of MKE's is lake effect, which may well be heftier than it is showing now, as lake effect bands are not well modeled this far out.

Hands Across the Sub-forum storm?

IF the GFS actually verified, the NW edge line of the best accumulating snow would align with the SE edge of the best accumulating snow from the storm the other day. Much like in that storm, the NW edge of the best accumulating snow aligned with the SE edge of the Minnesota storm a week earlier. Mother Nature is trying lol.

I know she is, and there is another weaker system down the pike showing up late next week into the weekend that could replenish whatever of the snowpack tries to melt off for the Great Lakes.

nowhere close to the immediate metro??? it's closer to Downtown than major reporting sites in cities like Chicago, Houston.. also a weather nightmare??? that I highly beg to differ on as well, having 2 of the 3 most expensive hailstorms in American history, a tornado going across the airport, that's not even looking at winter weather. Yeah we didn't get a lot of snow last year, but the weather is FAR from not exciting at all.

3 miles can make or break you here. NW gets it nearly every time. Aside from recent events, there's not much to talk about that's exciting. A good snow storm once every 5+ years is F'd up.

Live here and watch it all go around you nearly every time. You will become jaded very fast. We won't even talk about the Florida, I mean stl, winters in the 90s.

12z GGEM will not play ball.

Significant difference with the Christmas Eve s/w. GGEM indicates 999 hPa low over northern Ohio as opposed to the GFS showcasing 1007 mb low over southern Ohio. The GGEM would result in more confluence and prevent significant height rises. Hopefully the models can resolve the details of this lead s/w soon.

Move 3 miles NW.

You live in an urban, warmer area. Quit crying.

It's odd because it retrogrades that one vortex towards Manitoba, just like the EURO and GFS but it never interacts with southern stream wave. That wave just zips along and actually deamplifies as it heads east. Seems unlikely to me.

Yeah, you're both right. Judging off the 72 hour map, looks like the 12z UK will stay in the same camp as the GGEM...definitely with wave #1 and probably for wave #2.

Battle rages on.

Op GFS looks like its a western outlier among its ensemble mean. Some precip for parts of IN, MI, and then up to YYZ...but OH would be favored.

EDIT: probably nitpicking, but the 12z mean actually looks like it has the low a little farther northwest than the 0z or 6z run...but precip is a little different. Eh, I'm thinking too much here.

It'd be funny if we trend back toward the solutions from days ago and end up worrying about mixing. I don't think we can trend back that far...err hopefully not.
