[Tom]

Looks like from the south side of Chicago on north are 6"+...more towards the "cheddar curtain"...

[gosaints]

Looks more up here. WAA snows are farther north

WAA advection or nothing so far tonight it seems.  Man thats alot of energy that gets wasted

I don't like being on the southern fringe...WAA snows typically trend north but we'll see...

[ToastedRavs]

IA/KS/NE/OK/MO people need to have a drinking session to cope with this crap.  Instead of the 12 days of Christmas, I am calling for three weeks of whiskey rivers for all that want to partake.  On to 2017.  Ugh

SE winds do MKE quite well...maybe even down towards Kenosha also and points north...

This is getting old.......I might need to take a break watching models because it's becoming a waste of time. Never thought I would say it but man this is getting brutal.

[WBadgersW]

I'd take a foot! Always nice to see the whole state covered in 6" or more.

Dat gradient in the southern burbs of Chicago. Yikes.

[hlcater]

Nice to see another big storm go up in smoke.

[ToastedRavs]

Moderators seriously want to make a new subforum for winners and losers.  MN/WI/Chicago and MI get to be winners.  The rest are like the Browns.... 0 for....????

Whoa its pushing north more and more. Feels like Im looking at last weekend's system.

[St Paul Storm]

Thinking many of the offices in WI and parts Central and Southern MN will need to consider headlines by tomorrow afternoon. This may not turn into the whopper we were all hoping but warning criteria snows are still looking good for a good chunk of real estate. And the whopper isn't off the table just yet.

[ToastedRavs]

It's the movie Groundhog Day for a lot of us...  good for some of us and like Cousin Eddy and his recreational vehicle, the Sh!tter is full for the rest of us. :angry:

[Snowshoe]

Watches by tomorrow afternoon

Yup.

 

WAA snows gonna produce a wide swath of 6-10 inches for sure with possibly more depending on the 2nd wave. That's pretty certain.

Call me a bouchedag, but this is actually almost refreshing to see some of you guys out east get screwed for once. As us whiners and complainers out here in Nebraska deal with this 95% of the time and have to watch all of you disregard us and complain about "a wasted storm" when you still get 6" out of it, it's comforting to see you all get a blow to the stomach once in a while.

 

So consider this your welcoming to the club.

 

Sincerely, a fellow frustrated Nebraskan. (please don't hate me)

LOL.  But Iowa football still better than the team in Lincoln.  This coming from a fan of a neutral team on the east coast

Where's Grizzcoat with his tea and crumpets and his love of the UK model?  Maybe he's still watching Downton Abbey

Yes, because we can control the weather and where the storms actually end up..

GGEM is .7-1.0 QPF or so from Minny straight east into most of Wisconsin.

 

.3-.4 for Chicago 

[GDR]

[Madtown]

The final four were set. Just another better than average bowl...gets old after awhile

[james1976]

Hows GGEM look for IA?

dude. chill out. no need to insult people personally. I am JUST as disappointed as you are. The fact that all the storms that are ever shown for our area disappear or flee to the north is irritating, and how every storm eventually evolves into a strung out piece of garbage that misses Iowa completely when the forecast was 5-8", but Chicago still somehow manages to cash in. but insulting other posters? come on now.

[Iowawx]

Tom, could this still shift south by maybe 50 miles or so?

Sorry, if you took offense.  I forgot in this day and age one must be PC at all times.  I know Grizz, we get drinks from time to time, so I know he is not taking offense to this joke nor any other I make regarding him.  I don't insult people I do not know, fyi.

[Money]

The energy associated with this storm won't even be sampled for another 48 hours and I heard it isn't in the best location right now to be sampled and we have people getting this upset...

[GDR]

no but it could go north 50 miles
