He isn't working till tomorrow I believe. Meant to ask you what the buzz in like at LOT? If you're there that is.

 

Izzi comes in and up goes a SWS.

 

 

 

TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO HOVER PRECARIOUSLY CLOSE TO THEFREEZING MARK WHICH LEADS TO A HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTYREGARDING PRECIPITATION TYPE. PRECIPITATION COULD START ASFREEZING RAIN...SLEET...OR POSSIBLY JUST PLAIN RAIN...ESPECIALLYSOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. ANY MIXED PRECIPITATION IS THEN EXPECTEDTO TRANSITION TO WET SNOW...WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLYSIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS.

then moves very slow across IL and almost stalls in nw IN.

 

7" Geos bullseye this run.

 

:wub:

 

Wish I could trust the NAM out this far though, lol.

 

HPC outlook looks good for 4" at least. That's like "State of Emergency" in KS, no OK!

I think our best hope is actually a further north and east ejection, that way it won't blow its load west of the Mississippi River.  Not sure it's actually possible at this juncture, but slower and more digging may not be the best thing unless it means it maintains its intensity longer.  As is, a couple inches of wet snow is not the worst consolation prize.  Those on the southern periphery who are snow lovers are liable to shoot themselves.

I can't remember the dates of the top of my head, but a couple years back, we had a WSW for 4-8" of snow. There was a small chance that rain would mix in, but GRR discounted that it would last long enough to limit accumulations much. I was stoked... started off as light snow, then there was more "mist" than snow hitting the windshield. I figured it'd only last a little bit. I remember getting out of work and there was no snow to be found, except the old dirty piles. A moderate rain, and temperature in my jeep said 33.

Haha, what a let down that one was.

 

Winter of 05-06 had a couple of them.

No euro for me until early this morning...   Late night bingo session at the casino with the wife :axe:

 

Models not much of a help tonight..   GEM would be a plumper for chicago if that's all snow.

 

Eh, you won't miss anything.  Probably will give us a DAB with less than a quarter inch of precip, all slop.  But I suppose you won't want to miss it weenie out with 4-8" from Davenport to Chicago (of concrete mixer).

you need some sexual intercourse.

lol  

 

Wildwisconsiweather: Even without the main slug of moisture from the storm(far from a given btw), we're going to get some solid amounts of the white-stuff ..

 

The wraparound means business as Csnavywx has talked about..

 

Looks like a nice stretch of days with daily show shower potential as that giant slopgyre sits and spins in Atlantic moisture, cold cP air and lots of disturbances. Profiles look prime for ice crystal production with large/deep DGZs, so even light precip totals can do some damage.
