Looks like the heaviest snow will be near the MI/Ohio border and lighter amounts here IMBY (1-1.5"), whereas the southern portions could receive amounts near the 3" mark or more.

You say this yet I’m only near average on the season. Let’s also not forget you’re coming off a string of largely decent winters for MI.

 

Yeah, it's easy to get spoilt. This season's hype combined with lame results has been a tough fall with a hard landing. At least I've had a couple short periods of winter, which beats the truly horrid seasons. Brevity of snowcover is by far my biggest issue

This system has been drying out on the models for this area, tending to favor areas well north and west.  It is looking like 1, maybe 2 inches if we're lucky.

season snowfall: 34.8"

'22-23: 30.2"      '21-22: 27.1"      '20-21: 52.5"      '19-20: 36.2"      '18-19: 50.2"      '17-18: 39.5"

Average snowfall: ~30"

So this system appears to be the opposite of the post-polar vortex clipper.  That one suddenly popped as it approached and dropped 3-5" from CR to the QC.  This one is drying up.

d**n, that’s wayyyy weak. Not just here, but everywhere.

It's consistent with previous runs ( at least from DSM) - remember it's 10:1 and most runs for DSM show from .17 - to .23"-- now the WWA in NW IA - that may be a stretch if the Euro is correct.

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
