Everyone’s favorite SREF plumes. One member has 48° so bit of an exaggeration on my end. Actually quite a few in the 40-45° range though. Granted, watching these models at 72 out hell even 3 hours out is normally comical. 

I haven't looked at the SREF in a couple years now.   They were more comical than useful for snow IMO.

12z UKie still farther southeast and weaker. Uncle not yet drunk.

I think a blend of the nw rgem/euro and se gfs/ukie, low track from evansville to cedar point, is the good guess at this point. South bend through the thumb jackpot.

Cedar Point is the best case scenario for me that is for sure for this type of storm.

On these SW to NE moving lows, we pretty much need the same track. Maybe more toward Toledo would be best here but what’s a few miles in the end.

It's funny I have the landmark places all picked out where I need to low to go with the various types of storms.  Toledo wouldn't be bad for me either; it just puts me on the southern edge of the defo band (great reward comes with great risk :lol:).

Historically I would take your location over mine any winter. You're definitly in a better spot for this one but long ways to go and from experience never good to be in jackpot area 48-60 hrs out.

Also I don't trust the euro at all these days so gonna be fun to track this one rest of the way.

It’s like in the summer with an MCS. I need to see storms around Green Bay if I’m going to feel confident with getting anything other than some sprinkles. Most of the time though, they’re firing around Milwaukee which is a no go for here with the inevitable dive SE.

Not much change on the 12Z Euro. Maybe a slight tick weaker. Low tracks just east of Port Huron. It does show about a half inch of freezing rain around Detroit though. 

Euro is more of a left leaner right now.

Yes that was very true especially in the 2000-2015ish era.  I would like to note that some time after 2015 there were some significant model updates that seemed to kill off the significant NW trend we used to see.  Now it seems there are some NW trends and some SE trends and some that pretty much stay the same.  Not saying this one is set in stone at all rather the overwhelming  NW trend we used to experience is not what it used to be.

If this falls apart for the Chicago area, you guys can blame me. I had spinal surgery in December and am still not allowed to lift more than 5-10lbs. So I can't shovel a heavy snow and don't think I'll be out there every 45 minutes either. Needless to say, took the snowblower out for the first time in ages.....so it might be all over now.

Ha.  Sheboygan WI for me for MCS.  ^_^

Milwaukee seems to always head down to AA then into DTW.

I knew it! :lol: 
 

In all seriousness though I hope you’re doing well and healing up. Spinal surgery is no joke.

Last 6”+ event: Jan 12-13th, 2024. (6.7”)
Last 8”+ event: Jan 30-31st, 2021. (10.8”)

yeah.that one last year was a bit  deceptive as I recall. Got thumped the by warm air wing and screwed on the defo band as temps rose above freezing. Been a while since we've had a straight on solid wall to wall snow event . Time will tell.
