It almost seems like the euro grabbed this storm and didn't let go 3 weeks ago. It's been super steady and I refused to believe it was even possible when it first picked it up. Ensemble members and mean improved from 0z to 12z today. To me, that was an important clue.

The op close track isn't fun to look at but unfortunately it can easily happen. I agree with the gfs breathing room being a net+ but it still makes me mad to look at. Lol

I'll check the members in an hour. I'm willing to bet there will some more members joining the party. 18z only had 3 or so good looks overall.

Euro and GFS are pretty similar at 500 around 84 (per 0z runs).  I think as is you're right the GFS would probably be at least a little wetter.. which we could see with the 12z CIPS analogs bullseying the 95 corridor despite the sfc looking meh. 

 

With the strong vort diving through the upper midwest it's hard to get super worried about the inland track v the ots track.. I actually think both are about equally likely at this point, which is probably also not a bad place to be unless it ends up either/or. ;)   

 

I do think that the NAM being stronger/ closing off a 500 low with an early neg tilt trough is still unlikely given where the globals are at current.

I need to know where your bar is set. I'm 6+ for a big win and totally happy with 4. I can also deal with 2-3 and a pile of sleet and some ice. Anything less can suck it

I didnt wait 4 years for a Miller A to get 4 inches. Its 8-12 for me. Ill take 6 minimum

is this like the Jan 2011 event where the low was past up but we scored most of our snow form the ULL that trailed the surface low?

the 84 hr black and white map is low resolution, but we're in the 10mm-25mm area...there's a big difference between being on the high end or low end of that range so we'll have to wait for the color maps which have better resolution

I would expect at least .8" qpf off the GEM, and that may be low
