there were lots of references to "lots" in that AFD....

 

bolding? just highlighted what i wanted bolded and then clicked the big "B" .... but then again...it also hyperlinked everything when i did that...so....

 

yeah doing that hasn't worked for me lately, not sure if it's my browser or what.

 

and of course now it works.

Stale/highly modified air mass will likely lead to boundary layer temp issues with this system for just about everybody unless precip rates are high enough to cool the column for snow. Definitely a candidate for "snow island" syndrome.

The 12z euro would be a very big heavy wet snow for here I believe. Im sure someone will get blasted with wet snow, if the storm materializes as shown by the foreign models.

this storm has WAY more potential for us here in the midwest for many reasons than this current storm. for one it will be strengthening instead of weakening like this one. the closed low appears to dig a lot further south leading to sfc low development much further south. this system wont be running into a massive high this time that is currently over the Great Lakes. Per the SPC D5 severe outlook, they sound like they are favoring a GL cutter low which would be great for a good chunk of people. def a storm to keep an eye on. sounds like Euro/Gem have best handle on it so far. most offices threw out gfs do to phasing/moisture issues. GFS is def the most north of all the models. NAO is suppose to stay negative which favors a strong southern jet but i cant remember if PNA is suppose to be positive or negative

GFS further south some...weaker with the low and stronger w/ the coastal 

 

Too Northern stream dominant and it tries to drive into what is left of the current system like it did with the current system and the previous system. What ended up verifying was a much further South solution. The GGEM and Euro are seeing this, the GFS is very slowly trending toward that.

00z GGEM was a pretty good run.

 

Chicago, Detroit and Toronto flip over to heavy snow after starting with sprinkles, heaviest amounts over Northern Indiana and Toronto.

 

Gonna take a while to convince me on heavy snow w/ a low to our SW

What about DTW? or DET

Do you have temps?  I'm assuming that's a solid SN/PL mix, and not all accumulation.

I'd argue that this is all snow, that +0.2 layer isn't going to make much difference and with the high precip rates it is probably overdone. Probably one of those low ratio deals though. 8:1-10:1
