Finally changed over to snow down here. Now they're only calling for 1-3". What a bust after hearing about this "big storm" for a week..

Too many non-wx weenies, aka the rest of the millions wished this away not wanting holiday plans upset. Peeps have no sense of adventure anymore. Only us sickos want to see/experience the wrath of nature, lol

Obviously, this is a full month earlier than '78 was - Strike 1

No moisture-laden S Low dragging high p-watts north with it - Strike 2

Like Christmas Eve 2014 potential, getting its act together too far north for anyone outside LES belts - Strike 3

We're out! 

Strike 4 if we had another is warm era's Dec fail record. 

If the LES comes through for NMI and The Yoop, this may exceed new snow totals from that one. Can kinda thank warm era lake temps for a boost on that front. 

From my task bar feed (still set as KRMY):

Latest thoughts from IWX:

.Update...(Tonight)
Issued at 900 PM EST Thu Dec 22 2022

GOES vapor shows intense mid level sw digging through se MO attm 
with bombing sfc cyclone near KTOL. Swath of heaviest snow had 
shifted east into wrn OH in association with intense fgen burst 
along sharp arctic front. Meanwhile post frontal locations were 
plummeting with nearly all of IL below zero now.

Sat/radar trends show lake streamers now into nw zones and enhancing 
ongoing snow. Of note is additional tilting of upper trough and 
expect additional enhancement of wrn extent of snow shield from srn 
IL nwd into nw IN this evening. Thus given more favorable thermal 
profile with time expect another 1-2" of snow for most outside lake 
belt likely overnight. This will occur coincidental with further 
deepening of sfc cyclone toward lake Huron and yield steadily 
increasing west/nwrly winds with gusts pushing 40kts by daybreak. 
Thus conditions will deteriorate further overnight. Travel is 
strongly discouraged as life threatening cold and near blizzard 
conditions develop. Otherwise prior forecast remains in tip top 
shape with no changes needed.

Nail in the coffin for the NW Ohio/SE Mich peeps...sorry.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Latest radar, 0z model guidance, and surface observations
suggest that we are perhaps entering a perceived "lull" in the
precipitation along the arctic front, especially across NW OH
this evening as the upper-jet energy begins to arrive across the
Lower OH Valley which will lead to explosive cyclogenesis late
tonight into Friday. This may lead to lower snowfall totals and
overall impacts across NW OH. However, we are currently watching
an area of precipitation across SW OH that continues to
strengthen, noted by multiple surface observations of moderate
to heavy snow at times. This area of precipitation will work its
way north and east into the region later tonight in conjunction
with the strong, arctic front. This will be the area to watch
for any significant impacts with regards to snowfall rates
and/or blowing snow overnight and into the morning hours.
