I liken it to dropping a piece of meat with blood dripping off it into a pool of hungry piranhas. They jump on you and don't stop.

They get a little nuts when they start sniffing out snow. Probably because they see so little of it. Although, the way it's been IMBY the last couple of years, I'm starting to appreciate where they're coming from. :lol:

Yeah, see the thing is, I haven't been around when a major hurricane hits the EC but I can just imagine how they weenie out then too.

Either way, yet another wild storm to track and it's still just december, after the boredom we suffered through from late summer on, this is a welcome change.

Yeah this has been an awesome December to track storms. Nonstop action since the beginning of the month. You're right about the late summer and fall though, it was pretty boring overall.

The thing I've noticed today is how much slower this thing is moving. Before the models had snow starting here late tomorrow afternoon, but now it looks like it'll hold off until early Friday morning. 12hr difference. Also looks like it may have to fight very dry air for awhile on the eastern edge.

Need more of a panhandle or north of there phasing soon after to have a chance to get anything decent to plow north for here. Still be fun to see how far north we can get decent snow up to Chicago and Indiana. Maybe I can still pull off some ambiance flurries or a few snow showers off the lake.

Yeah, it's looking like a nice swath of 4-5" of snow, with some bands of higher amounts of over 6" setting up. The location of those heavier bands won't be clarified until the event gets going. It's definitely trending wetter over northeast Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
