I think I'll do okay but really am sad the better snow totals are going north. I really thought we had a chance a,few days ago to rival VD 2007.

 

This layout is starting to remind me a bit of the Dec 2007 storm.  LAF barely squeaked by with only minimal mixing issues, while areas east of here toward you and especially farther east had a warm surge that kept it more mixy for a longer time.  At this point I'm not really sure if LAF is going to do any worse than OKK.

4km NAM is also historic for Detroit and surrounding areas and incredible for Chicago as well. Keep in mind these are using 10:1 ratios and in many cases they should be better than that.

Understandable, but with a climate record of just over 100 years old, records are also pretty easy to break.

Cutting the QPF is standard practice, especially with the NAM, but this storm has outstanding moisture and all the models are going nuts with the QPF. I don't think anyone knows how much to cut it, if any. Maybe it's even underdone? I honestly couldn't tell you.

18" or bust :)

DVN has our zone forecast at 9-14" now.  Wow.  Wouldn't it be something to skip right over the 6" threshold and break the 12" threshold?  lol.  

 

That LOT forecast map is wallpaper material.

You know... I'm trying so hard not to get excited, but I think it's safe to say a good majority of us along I-94 to I-80 are going to see a historic snow storm.

I can't remember ever seeing all models gain strength, maintain (and increase) QPF, all the way up to the event and then some.

I know not to put much stock into SREF plumes, but it's hard to ignore a mean of 17" and they're clustered tight with many in the 18-22" range.

Am I dreaming?
