You think this is just noise, or the starting of something for the southern lakes?? 

It has all to do with the location of the vort lobe over James Bay and the confluence in the east, the lobe was slower and further NE this run, and the confluence was weaker. It opened up the opportunity for it to move further north before sliding east. It is something that will need to be watched for further trends or regression.

Thank You!

I got you bud. The water boils because of complex chemical reactions but it also boils because somebody wanted tea

Sometimes the data will suggest the weather has been contrary to what we experience. Both can exist in harmony

After all, not all 6 inch snow storms feel the same but the spreadsheet is indifferent

Nail biter for me in the peoria area, especially if the northern cuttoff ends up as sharp as the euro is showing. NAM being in south camp has me worried as well as it has sniffed out local snow busts pretty well in recent years.

In Peoria here as well! I share your same concerns. We are sitting uncomfortably close to that northern gradient. Any south shift and we may see little to no accumulation. Nam seems to be an outlier for now on south placement and it's also its long range so I wouldn't fully trust it. However, it can sniff things out sometimes so definitely uneasy.

I'm by Peoria too, and I feel like I'd be ok with either extreme. Big snow is memorable, missed snow means a LOT less shoveling (I don't have a snowblower). So with my luck, I expect we'll get neither and end up with a forgettable-but-annoying 3-4".

This winter has been so lame. I'm ready for a good snowstorm so full send. Ha. But thinking heaviest swath will be near or south of I72.
