Looks like a nice 2-4" event. Whiten everything up again.

Side note, I have no science to back this, but it seems like the last few years these clippers tend to over perform. Maybe it is some surplus from the snow magnet, but I like it.

 

I agree.  They have always tended to 'overproduce' as compared to other types of synoptic systems. It may be the models' inability to account for the amount of moisture available or correctly calculate ratios, I don't know. I do know I like seeing them modeled because it almost guarantees flakes will be flying.

Euro north of 0z run with first system but not like GFS yet.

Has about .20" luquid along/south of I-88 with more south and west

 

 

let's keep the baby steps going

 

should be our best ratios of the season so it would be nice to get .3-.4 liquid

 

even better would be a more well defined slp and some lake enhancement but that's still a ways off

I don't think we can get much more than 0.2 out of this. I hope I'm wrong, but even so the antecedent airmass is quite dry.

^ nice band slicing through E. Central Illinois, W. Indiana.

hey at least for us it's coming through during the night so that should help us (with ratios) rather than having it come through during the day...looks like a solid 3-5" event as of right now which I would gladly take considering I've only seen 0.7" the whole winter.
