Can't speak for other locations, but snow ratios in lower Michigan look like they could be rather poor...maybe 12:1.  Could potentially be even worse.  Ascent is totally displaced above the DGZ.  Having a deep DGZ doesn't do much good if all your crystal generation is happening above it.

9Z plume for JOT has the mean (after I took out another donk run of 15 inches) up to nearly 8 inches....

 

all but a few are between 7 and 9 inches...

 

 

hard to ignore this late in the game and they did well on NW flow events last winter

 

ORD clustered tightly around 6-8 but we've added some <3" clunkers

ORD numbers with same circumstances as above....

7 inches....most are between 6 and 8 inches

DKB has a good grouping between 5-7", which a good band and good ratio may produce. With the south trend, thinking 4" is more realistic

yeah....kinda head scratching myself...even though I was pulling for similar numbers in my "call" ... but with other guidance thus far through the evening and early this morning it seems odd.  I guess will see if the clunkers pick up some friends in the next run...clearly JOT with a little more wiggle room for higher totals

just under 7" although unlike those further north, it's being crippled but a couple real turds.

FWIW, SREF mean is suggesting ratios either side of 30:1 in N IL.  Probably why it's that bullish.

A few other mean snowfall totals from the 9z SREF:

 

BMI: 6.5"

CMH: 4.8"

CMI: 6.1"

DAY: 5.2"

FWA: 5.8"

MIE: 6.7"

OKK: 7.1"

PIA: 6.8"

 

which site do you use?   I was showing CMH 5.55" plume

 

edit: I was taking it to the end which included some additional padding after the clipper

i made a post about that earlier, i do think we go over 20:1, QPF is my greater concern

 

 

Agree.  At ORD specifically, the mean has .23" qpf and 7" of snow for a ratio of 30:1.  So it's not like it's really wet, just really bullish with ratios.
