When was the last time the models were this locked in 5 days in advance with little deviation. If this was a Chicago storm the models would be all over the place.

best of luck to everyone south and east!!!

Locked with little deviation? For those of us out of the game we dont watch as closely, but for individual details there has been plenty of the usual deviation.

I know every storm is different, but I can't be the only one in here that remembers sitting 12 hours out from a snow storm, Winter Storm Warning of 8-12" locked and loaded, only watch the thing go way north and nail mid Michigan and Wisconsin at the very last minute.  I understand that NW Ohio and SE Michigan is in a weird screw zone between storm hand offs to the coast, and negative tilts but the struggle is real.

Eh it isn’t all sunshine and roses for the Ohio River Valley. With that warm air surging in you’re going to see sleet and freezing rain encroach on those snow totals a bit

there have been a handful of storms here in Central Ohio over the last several decades that were forecasted to give us 6+ inches of snow 24 hours out and busted.   Every one of those busts was a result of a last minute push north with the precip and the warm nose shutting off the precip, or changing it to sleet or rain.   Not a single bust was a result of the snow shield not making it far enough north or being shunted south.   I'm not saying that can't happen, but when I've seen it happen in other places, it's a result of a very strong arctic high just to the north pressing harder than models were forecasting.  

Granted, I'd much rather see a more neutral to neg tilted trough if I'm hoping for a surprise northern push, but I still think an unexpected northern push of precip has a better chance than a southern miss if those are the only two choices.
