Yesterday's rain is still sitting in puddles in my yard because of frozen ground.

Same here.  Read somewhere that the frost goes down to nearly 20" deep right now, which is pretty damn deep.  Probably due to the very cold temps and bare ground.

 

Yup I'm about to throw the towel in on this one for us...looked good for awhile but, trends are clearly not on our side. I'm tired of this crappy Winter, bring on Spring.

18z NAM would still give us a few token inches of wet slop at the tail end, which would be pretty impressive after 2" of rain.  Kind of like what happened with the Dec 20th system, but to a lesser degree.  Like you said though the overall trend today is to the northwest, so the QC may end up dry slotted with some tail-end flurries.  Hopefully the 00z guidance tonight shows a slower/deeper digging shortwave so we can spin this thing up a little further east.

DBQ and MSN are really two of the best. Don't know why exactly, but they both seem to be in a good spot typically.

 

MSN is the snow magnet more than Dubuque, Dubuque averages less than Milwaukee.  MSN used to, but thanks to the preponderance of Western Lakes cutters most likely, in recent years they have averaged a bit more.

Definitely have had more than our share of good snowstorms here in MSN the last few years.  Seems like it hasn't always been the case though.  I first moved to MSN in 2001 and I don't really remember anything much over 6" between 2001 and 2005.   But the last several years have been pretty snowy.

Pretty impressive. It's a shame the wintry side will be relatively tame to the overall "ferocity" of the system.

Lacking a wintry side in January!?! Crappy winter.

Yup, actually many of the seasonal outlooks had the same flow indicated.... Every cold wave is shunted off to the east and the troughs are elongated to the east... Almost zonal.
