Tom Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Looking at radar and hi-res modeling seems heavier banding of snow will be farther north and at least through Chi Metro if not further north. Some areas could be in for a surprise when it's all said and done.Sure does Tony and its looking a lot better than I was expecting it would. First flakes are already flying ahead of schedule.
