Fixed**. Did the storm already happen? I don't get all the bust talk. The waa/front end was never gonna be anything great and main show to still come. Definitly some bust potential later though. I sense some enjoyment on your part on the potential of a bust over here. Perhaps I'm wrong but I never understood why certain  illinois/chicago peeps always rooting against others snow chances.

Hahahaha, I have less than 9” on the season. You will get more than my season total before Monday. Chill out. 

A few runs showed a once a decade or more type blizzard. That is not what is going to happen. In fact I was rooting for your big dog.

Dusted out. Called yesterday

The 18z HRRR may have been too dry, but the trend can't be denied. Even the 18z NAM came in notably drier.

That said, the Detroit area still looks good for 3-6" total. To be fair, that's about what was expected all along before the really amped up runs reared their ugly heads. The big difference is much of the snow will come from the deformation axis and not WAA like originally expected.

NW Trend's the new false flag mode. In the end, a pedestrian SEMI storm - yuck

If I moved to Florida, I would probably still briefly look at the situation if Michigan had a possibility of something interesting but other than that, I wouldn't care and would go about my day. lol

Only for the lakeshore counties.

Everyone else, it's a WWA for 3-6".

WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 4 PM EST
SUNDAY...

* WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 5 and
  7 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph on Sunday, which may
  lead to blowing and drifting of snow.

* WHERE...Monroe, Wayne, Macomb, St. Clair, Sanilac, and Huron
  County.

Monroe and Wayne are included even though I think of lakeshore and the ones bordering Huron

To be fair, the hostility is acceptable given the circumstances. Two (three?) storm systems with northern/southern stream energy in the neighborhood, all within a week… before more suppression, and it all went to hell at the last minute to boot. Plenty to be irritated about, but what can you do.

5-7" for eastern counties. This is on top of a solid snowpack and big snowbanks already around. For all the talk of what a shitty winter it's been for many, it's gonna look pretty damn deep winter here. I'm actually going to the UP mon-thu so my week will be full of snow lol. 

Lessened qpf aside, one thing I like is that deformation zones often can overperform and have high ratios.

Nah, hostility shouldn't be tolerated on weather boards. Pissed because it didn't pan out? Sure. Hell, disappointments my middle name when it comes to snow lol. But hostility because someone else got the flakes, nah. I'm always happy for them, begrudgingly lol :tomato:

And the thing about it is the post in question was taken out of context by the person who overreacted.

Intereting afternoon discussion from DTX...

 

Snowfall accumulations with this event present more uncertainty than
usual less than 12 hours out from the event start, mainly due to a
large area of convection over the Tennessee Valley. This creates
more opportunity for this event to fall within the tails of the
distribution, in other words there is bust potential on both ends.
The drier outcome comes from the disruption to moisture transport
that could happen with the Tennessee Valley convection.  Suspect the
deterministic models are latching on to this scenario as there has
been a notable trend to the southeast and a drying trend that brings
most 10:1 model snow accumulations in below warning criteria as
model QPF falls below a half inch. This would present a lower end 2-
4 inch scenario of broad light snowfall. On the other hand, the
presence of the mid-level circulation for a 6-9 hour period and
glancing period of elevated instability could very well overachieve
into a narrow snow band should moisture availability be sufficient.
In typical mesoscale fashion, this scenario does not show up well in
the guidance, but does afford a higher-end 8+ inch scenario invof
metro Detroit where the warning is in effect.

It is a difficult task to capture all possible outcomes within a
single deterministic forecast or headline, but nonetheless opted for
an advisory across most of the area for 3-6 inches and a smaller
warning footprint for 5-7 inches across the eastern counties of the
cwa given the SE shift in model guidance and potential lake
enhancement. Some maneuverability to the headlines is possible
throughout this event.

Severe weather down south robbing moisture transport north.

This is one of the most overused statements in the winter, and is not the case in this instance.

Ended up being the case after all...

If I moved to Florida my focus would be thunderstorms.  When I wanted snow I would be going to places like this:

Edit:  Next winter we are planning to go to this part of Japan for a week.

Sorry if I came across so negative earlier.  I made the mistake of getting my hopes up way to high.  Was definitely bummed this morning.  The models performance yesterday was not so good and it's my fault for drinking the Kool-Aid.  Went out and enjoyed the Ice Festival on our lake today and then took the wife out for dinner.  Great day even though it was freezing mist all day.  Hoping for a few inches tonight.
