February 17th, 2019 Snow Event

The GFS and Euro have been showing this wave for several runs now.  It doesn't look like some of the potent/dynamic systems we've seen as of late, but it looks like it could lay down several inches of fresh powder from Iowa points east.  Still 90+hrs out, so let's see what kind of shenanigans the models pull with this one lol.

That's a constructive post.  Thanks for the contribution.

06z GFS improved quite a bit compared to the 00z, and drops 0.3-0.5" of precip over parts of Iowa into northwest IL/southern WI.  DVN mentioned LSRs north of 15:1, so whatever falls should fluff up nicely.  Obviously at this point Iowa looks like it has the best shot at the most precip, but hopefully it's a case where the models are weakening the system a bit too quick for areas further east.  Still some time to see how this evolves. :snowing:

After suffering through all this winter weather recently, and sitting at 52.4" for the season, I'm all about getting a quick 17.4" more fluffy inches to have the all-time snowiest winter ever, along with the coldest temperature ever in the same season! Ha...So with that being said if we can land a quick 4-5" here, that would really help increase the chances of this actually occurring! :) 

I do like the faster start time, as models seem to have sped the system up a bit, with  more of a nighttime/early Sunday morning event, locally.

C'mon man.You need to lighten up. That was all in good fun, and you come back with that. Do you really think I'm concerned with thread starters? Sometimes its good to add some levity to the forum. Poor form.

Another one bites the dust. Lol. Seems like the trend lately is to look good in the long range and start the downward spiral in the medium range. I'm more interested now in this storm next week but given how trends been lately not getting my hopes up 

Never thought much of this event. Still looks a general 1-4" event across N IL and Wisconsin.

I feel like this has been going on for 4 years

Light trolling can't be taken by some. Noted. :scooter:

Some must have forgotten how it was in the forum glory days.

this was always 1-2 inch refresher at best. You got cocky, and thus killed your mojo. Time to find a new thread starter for the mid week potential....Chicago Storm?:scooter:

I honestly can't recall the last time I started a thread, so I looked it up... July 2017.

Nice improvement by the NAM tonight, especially in eastern IA/QCA. Would be cool if the blind GFS/FV3 squirrel finally found a nut.

I'm interested in seeing if the euro continues to shift the best precip into n/nw Iowa, or rejoin the rest of the models.

It looks like it could be a fairly long-duration event.  To me those always seem like they have a chance to over-perform.

Models have come into good agreement on a long duration 2-4" event for much of northern IL, with possibility of some minor additional LES accums late Sunday night into Monday morning. Looks good for 3-6" in eastern IA/QCA. Hopefully as cyclone mentioned the long duration can help this to be an overperformer.
