Euro has been crap on a stick lately. Even if it didn't move northwest, I wouldn't buy it.

It's been a bit flaky in the medium range but we're getting into the 48-60 hour window...if it stays a big southern outlier and ends up failing then that would not be good.

Actually I would argue it would be good because then there would be more to talk about and more mayhem since it shows the Euro is more than human.  It's a bit boring really if there was one model to ride and know that it was generally right.  Bad for the Euro of course, though.

It really hasn't had much on snow side for this system, other than this morning's run with some light QPF.

 

It wins the 500H verification wars, but man...I think it has been kinda lousy with individual storms. The December event (MSN snowstorm) where the op and its ensembles insisted on a southern track 3 days out was a big failure.

Maybe it's a hangover from last winter and the lack of intense events.

For showing the possibility, sure. For location, no. It initially was just east of here...and now we're high and dry.

And with all that said, first and last call for LAF...0.0". :lol:

It had the best stuff east of here as recently as 12z yesterday. Shows how much things can change.

Yeah, you're right. Pretty abrupt move in 24 hours. 

 

It'll be sort of fun to see how much snow falls in IA, WI, etc. Quick mover, but dynamics look fairly strong.

Will wait a bit before I stick a fork in it, but this is approaching being fully cooked...

 

EURO says hang on a sec.

I'm going to wait until the 0z runs to guess the +/-3" for ORD.

 

Tracy Butler was saying 2-6" over NE IL possible. More snow north into WI.

If some of these models come in similar to the 12z tonight at 00z I'll begin to get a bit excited.  Still pretty early, but I gotta admit I love some of these maps.

 

 

Things seem to be trending in the right direction at the right time for a quick hitting heavy snow event in your area or just northwest.

Actually, the best over/unders for MKE and ORD respectively, would be their highest storm totals of the year.  I believe MKE's is just over 3", and ORD's is 1.1".  Let's set the o/u at those figures.

 

I think Milwaukee is 3.3" on that post Christmas storm. With those figures I'll take over on both at this point.

Lol...it has been the same freakin track for several winters. It goes southeast and Detroit gets the snow....or it goes northwest and Madison and northwestern WI gts the snow. leaving Chicago, Milwaukee, and Muskegon in the hole.

Dry lake effect snowpack is melting RAPIDLY. One week of lake effect snow = 1 day of melting.
