It has trended perfectly. I just can't remember it doing that great calling storms up to this point. Ofc, I wasn't very invested in those so my memory could be sketchy. Do tell if I have the wrong impression of this version of the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely neither of those will happen. I'm rather bullish on Iowa (always bet on banding) but wouldn't go 2+ feet without more support for it.

Well, I hope the 6-8" across N IL verifies and, even though it's been an Iowa winter, there's no chance 30" falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
