The 2nd wave is 48-60 hours out and it doesn't look much different from the 12z NAM and 12z GFS, so I generally agree with the map, tapering off amounts to the north a bit sooner than they do.

 

 

My thoughts.

 

1:frontogenic snows tuesday night. GFS actually looked better in this regard...some omega sneaking in, great ratios, etc but this is going to be a really narrow band of 2-4" with razor gradients on both sides. I'd favor IL over WI at this point. Similar setups have also trended drier all winter.

 

2: what was at once the main show associated with the low...looking like a miss south for MKE and possibly even Chicago. 0-2" heaviest way south.

 

3: LE...wildcard but historically a 1-4" deal.

 

Liking my chances for 6"+ but it's going to be super drawn out and will need some help from the lake

Pretty much, lets ignore days worth of consistency because one model came out and looked like crap, obviously no storm.

Whats interesting...is that with the GFS it isnt even a matter of north or south with the heaviest snowband...it has just totally lost the heaviest snowband. A narrow swath from ORD through DTW is still the "jackpot" so says the GFS.

No it isn't Mike. GFS looks odd in how it slides that low way SE. It looks like convective feedback. Lets see what GGEM and EURO have to say.

 

Looks sound to me.

 

Seriously, there isn't a storm you don't like. You produce wishcasts rather than forecasts. I'm sorry if I sound churlish but you'd have more credibility if you conceded the storms that are lost causes.

I'm leaning towards punting this event for Toronto, but I'll wait until after the 12z Euro. If the Euro goes the wagons south route, it's game, set, match.

The models this season havent been great and have zero credibility beyond 24 hours. But at this point in time, their is no viable solution for us. Majority of models now keep everything confined towards the south. However, 0z Euro did show about 0.8 qpf, haha.

be a shame if another biggie potential can't be realized.   potential was there for a few to really clean up but now we're morphing in to a share the wealth in meh parts except for chicago area if they can clean up with some bonus lake fluff.   share the wealth events even if on the meh scale of events are always nice because it sure gets boring on the board in congrats  madison events like the last one.

I have to agree with canuck. I'm punting this storm. There will be another, though. It looks to be an exciting winter.

Even in the great winter of 1993-94, there were a few misses to our south. I remember Environment Canada calling for 2-4" of snow on Tuesday, January 4th, 1994 from a US east coast low, but nothing fell. On Tuesday, February 8th, 1994, EC was calling for 6-8", but only 3" fell as most of the snow fell state side to our south.

on the plus side, the tuesday night band continues to looks pretty healthy across the models....decent banding in a narrowly focused band across N IL looking likely.

Yeah the Tue night wave is starting to look the most impressive on some of the models.  RGEM looked pretty good for northern IL as well.  That's one trend I'd like to see continue if the Wed wave continues to **** the bed.
