Well, we've seen some outlandish model solutions for this one at times.  Obviously still plenty of uncertainty but there's enough of a signal for an impactful event.  At this time, it appears the southern half or so of the subforum is more favored, but we'll see how this trends in the coming days.

Someone in MO will cash out with this one. Excited to see how this evolves on the models.

It is not surprising that there has been a shift north, the system moving off the coast is quicker to move away and this system is slower, thus removing the confluence that would help keep the system moving more easterly and keeping the track south.

I know it sounds crazy but I would be worried here that this keeps shifting north more.

I'd rather get trolled than be a pessimist

Call it what you want.

But the current output would be a once in a 50-year event (and that's being generous, I mean how often do we see a widespred 12"+ blizzard along the STL-IND-DTW corridor?) And that's not accounting for the usual shenanigans the models have been pulling with over-amping these storms in the medium range.

That said, it will probably end up being a decent run-of-the-mill storm (6-10" with some blowing/drifitng) for parts of the subforum when all said and done. And given the winter you all have had, it could be far worse.

Just being realistic and I get it, being numb to it all after years of disappointment in metro detroit regarding big dogs. But things can change quickly and maybe this is the one.

Non-event for here. At least it won't be another rainer. GFS/GEFS versus the world. We know how that goes. Though, 6z EPS bumped north, but the same head fake happened with yesterdays 18z run too. Northern goal posts are probably a STL to IND on northeast line for something measurable, but smart money is further south. Looks good for the Ohio crew ultimately.

Nicely done, voodoo reverse psychology on the models and us.

I'm not saying that there's gonna be a mega dog or something, I'm just that even if I know that virtually every storm pulls the same shit, I let myself get a little hyped. Imagine if like GHD1 happens again in a few years and the whole lead-up to it I refuse to buy in and get excited only for it to actually happen. I'd kick myself in the nuts. Acting like a giddy child because it just might snow a lot is the whole name of my game regardless of the chances.

Tbh nowadays you should just get excited thats theres a respectable storm in the area and be smart enough to know things and will waffle even 6 hours before the event. Its a very tough hobby to keep emotions in check though so easier said than done for some. I guess being a lions fan helps with this hobby. Keep expectations low until it's pouring snow out.

6-10" for that zone would be the biggest storm for most.

Hell, I'll prob upgrade to an A if we get a big dog. Just booked a flight home so its officially on. I didn't think the gfs would go anymore nw due to the other models being so different. Can't trust any of them so its a toss up. Maybe the more advanced Mets can chime in if phasing is involved with this?

 

 

Since your grade is mostly on storms, if we get this your grade would absolutely be higher than a pure winter enthusiast's grade. We've already had 2 good winter storms (Jan 25 snow, Feb 22 Ice) and a White Christmas.
