Chicago Storm

I think you'll do fine up there. 6"+ certainly on the table IMO.

 

Or...you can travel down to here and we'll snowstorm drink at Harry's. :beer:

 

Oh, Harry's. I (don't) remember a lot of nights spent there. Actually, I went down there after the tornado outbreak; while they had no electricity, they still served the booze by candlelight. Very cool experience.

With the 21z SREFs, at VPZ there are now 7 members that are drier than the driest member of the 15z suite.  The mean dropped from 0.79" to 0.64".  We saw a similar plummet in the same time frame right before the 12/13 event, only to come back two runs later, so it might not necessarily mean game over, but it's certainly disconcerting.

Not surprising given the shift weaker/east with the 18z NAM compared to the 12z.

Dry slot? Jog south and east?
