You will get upgraded up there in Oakland later this morning with how trends are going. 

In the past I remember several storms that shouldve been warning and ended up advisory. When I was a kid it meant all the difference in the world. But now that i have access to models, forecast discussions, etc, i honestly dont care what the warning/advisory verbage is. I care about the results lol.

Several areas west of Michigan are expecting 3-5" are under a WSW.  Michigan has 4-7" as a WWA (per guidelines).  Like you say the classification has no meaning only the results matter :snowing:

Kind of like some get so excited for (or frustrated for lack of) a Blizzard Warning. Hmmm, a blizzard warning for 50mph winds and 2-4" of snow or a Winter Storm Warning for 8-12" of snow with 30 mph gusts. Which shall I choose :sled:

with this one, you don’t want too many improvements at h5, otherwise it turns into a mostly rainer for most.

strung out will be beneficial. you could overlap with a several inch lead thump, followed up by a several inch main hit.

outside useful range but 12z nam and rgem with sharper troughs and a more north/amped solutions

Feel like this may end up more north since snow pack from current system going to be more north now with snow busting further south today because of dry slot. Could miss out on waa snows with further north track but hoping I won't get all rain with deformation band.

could def go north, snowpack or lack thereof won't play any role tho

High risk, high reward with this one. That OP run on the GFS dumps on Wisconsin and gets the rain/snow line through here. That followed by single digits could create a glacial snowpack. The lake-effect potential behind this isn’t great but not bad for February. Usually the lake is too cold by now but single digit or low teens temps over a lake in the mid to upper 30’s is enough.

Definitely a little bummed this current system isn't going to amount to much here then possibly could get a rainer from this next system. Not what I was expecting from this pattern. Lots of time for change but my hunch is this will be north. WAA snows might miss north. I'm hoping for some wrap around accumulation at least.

Hoping the weaker/SE trend of the winter kicks again once more.
