Euro showing a fairly narrow area of lighter snows.  Thread the needle event on that run.  Hopefully the juicier and more widespread snows of the GFS work out.

I am thinking this will be the case, there is some model consensus in that direction and the strength of the LLJ would lead more in that direction. Also not to mention the last similar system, the Euro played catch up all the way to the end.

WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH/WARM FRONT DEVELOPING TO THE NORTHEAST. THE

SFC LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST COMBINING WITH AN OPEN GULF TO BRING A

GOOD PUSH OF MOISTURE NORTHEAST WITH IT. THE SIGNAL FOR THIS SYSTEM

HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL DAYS BUT TRACK/STRENGTH DETAILS HAVE

BEEN INCONSISTENT....LOT pretty much sums it up at this point.

It leaves way more energy behind (12z GFS) compared to the 00z run. So although the low track is further NW, its intensity and the precip amounts are just as unimpressive as yesterday's 12z run.

The only thing I can figure, if the other models follow suit, is that they ingested bad data.

A modest hit on the 12z GFS but the srn stream ul wave is much less amplified than it was on that rambunctious 0z/18 run.

It's going to take some immense height falls and concomitant WAA to dislodge the arctic air, at least at the sfc. 6" of snow followed by a decent ZR storm may not be so bad.

I can actually live with the GGEM to be honest (especially since we already got our big dog).

Even with ice, we still get a foot verbatim.

Besides, it's about time we spiced things up with a strong negative tilt/wound-up cutter. It's been a while.

12z GEM is obviously a significant storm for the Chicago area, but based on 700 mb and 850 mb low tracks, cold sector qpf would likely be higher here if something like the GEM panned out. 700 mb tracking overhead and 850 mb low tracking near LAF is pretty much an ideal track for heavy snow in Chicago.

as much as I'd like to call bs on the models.... the trough is off the west coast, low pressure is to the north, HP is sliding east, and there's nothing to stop this from having all the room in the world to do whatever it wants.   

 

Amazingly the last storm had all those things too except for a further south PV....   The ducks on the pond are synchronize swimming another f*ck you I-70 dance.     Bad luck begets bad luck...oh well
