I know I’m getting about 3” tonight but tomorrow could be 8” or 0” and i have no idea which way we’re headed

Yeah I am worried about tomorrow sneaking up on people because of the uncertainty. Tonight alone could be an impactful hit because of the timing of max rates during rush hour. But tomorrow is so up in the air this far out which is insane. And if some of the higher solutions verify for us, we'd be talking potentially a foot combined between the two snows on top of the stuff from Wednesday. That's a major storm.

12z UKMET has taken a step back from the amped runs yesterday.

It looks more like the GGEM now.

I think the models are struggling with the track as the low strengthens. usually when you have a deepening low like this it goes more North, like the gfs. Canadian/ukmet kinda shunt it east. Definitly delicate and bust potential.

Meanwhile DTX has a snow map out already with three to four inches for the whole area through the weekend. Kind of surprised they even threw out totals considering the vast differences in the models. The last storm the GFS was right and had a weaker storm while the euro was wrong and had a stronger storm. Both portraying the opposite this go around. I'd hate to be the nws.

 Might need to read that again.   

3-4" through 8PM Saturday.

I can see GRR just extending/riding their WWA into round 2. Only upgrading if/when forced to by real-time obs. Safe route to go really

I agree this is how it should be done too.   The 500 mb Vorticity is not closing off.  If it did than the strength of this system would be relatively more of a slam dunk!!  This will be a lot more now casting event as strength and orientation of the Vorticities are actualized coming out of the Rockies into the MW.  I think the more traditional closed off systems are a bit easier.

As much as I want the NAM and other SR models that amp this to the NW to be right, it still feels tenuous at best NW of Saginaw Bay line where I'm at.

I know. I should know better than to doomcast. I got my hopes for a big dog from last storm and am still a little bitter.

We're all dog hunters at heart.

Josh and the deep winter-ites are good with the nickel and dimers, but for most here, they want quality events.

Personally, I'd prefer summer year-round, but do have a soft spot for chasing dogs in the winter.

going 4 storm total for the combined event imby

call looking decent, waa feels good for 2-3 and should manage to find another 1 or 2 somewhere

shame about the swing and a miss on another potential event in what has been a rough winter for major synoptic snow storms in the region, when it's not your year, it's not your year

Definitely in the wrong state then.  Might need to join @Powerball for that.
