DTX office being very conservative w this storm as usual, but as usual, they will be wrong. W the last storm, I am shocked that they nailed it spot on.

Good luck, I think the 3-6 will verify hope you get more.

 

Thx! I'm up for some last-minute good surprises after this ride, haha.

Based on all the data, it's no wonder LOT hasn't pulled the trigger yet on a weather headline/advisory.  I'm wondering if they will just include the lakeside counties and points south in their next AFD coming up in a couple hours.

 

Needless to say, here are the raw numbers off the various models...

 

00z UKIE...

00z Canadian...

The 00z Euro still giving us near the lake some hope for a decent snow event and definitely agreeing with the GFS/UKIE of some potential Lehs...

 

@Toledo, might end up being the winner after all sudden done...

 

I also posted the 00z Euro Control...

Looks like LOT neglected to issue any headlines for Chicago and lakeside counties and will leave it for later today.  It appears the Lehs/LES signal is looking better but not entirely impressive.  I think they are under estimating the set up but who am I to say.

 

06z GFS a bit weaker overall but still highlighting the LES signal for NE IL...

Looks like snow starts earlier than expected. Not sure why no headline has been posted. Typical NOAA! :rolleyes: All local TV Mets are calling 4-7" for mby.

Light snow falling, looking like a 3-5 inch event for mby much less for KC.  Looking at the radar central MO is going to get pounded today.  Good luck everybody!

Let the fun begin....... :D

Northern Maine is going to be crushed by this storm.  They are going to get 24 hours of moderate snow totaling 8-12", and then the heavy stuff moves in.  They may end up with 2-3 feet.  This is the kind of scenario I dream of... several inches of snow well out ahead of the main system, then the event climaxes with a strong, wound-up storm that dumps another 8-12".  You'd think something like that would happen once in my life.

Moderate to at times heavy snow here with a temp of 26.  Had a little excitement on the parade rout as some idiots tried to run from police and got on the parade route in a old Taurus.  Great work by the KCPD in getting them off the streets with no one getting hurt.  Great job by the Chiefs fans for singing Bad Boys Bad Boys while the police were cuffing them. :lol:

By looking at the latest trends, a headline should be posted for DTX Metro by the 4pm package. Accumulations looking like a 3-6inch event on the way.

LES on this side of the lake is always a tough call as the parameters almost have to be a perfect setup for us to get any decent snowfall. Don't know what to expect but I would rather go with the unknowns then any modeling at this point. Just looking forward to snow flying for the next couple days.

Can't help but think if we had stronger blocking and not the raging +AO/+NAO pattern...this has a remarkably similar path of the GHD-1 Blizzard...just watch, as the jet slows down in Mar & Apr all of these storms that were stretched out waves will end up cycling into monster storms.

Thats been the story of the winter "what might have been"  However I am now over my season average for snowfall so I can't complain but it could have been so much more.

I have about 2 inches in mby snowfall rates have been just under an inch per hour on average.  Lake of the Ozarks region has to be getting pounded.

Kinda wanted this to be all in one storm, instead of separate waves and breaks in between. But I guess we have to accept any snow in this type of Winter this year. Got a good friend of mine in Montreal, CA and he told me just now that they are expecting more than a foot of snow from this same storm system.
