I can't remember 1 storm here that has produced 3-6 inches of snow with temps this cold.  I worry in the end dry air will win out up my way.

I understand that. It's hard to judge either way when it's this cold. Seeing reduced totals again this run is a good sign the models are picking up on that. Who knows? Other element that will make things difficult is the fact that at times there may be some blizzard conditions or near it with this event.

Looking at the GFS it looks like you will meet blizzard criteria between the hours of 48 to 60.

STOP your whining !!!

What is a whiny person?
Whiny describes someone who annoyingly complains or frets about something, especially in a high-pitched voice. YUP !!! That sounds like you.

What cold are we speaking of? Had 27F and strong Feb sun turning things to puddles here this afternoon. I take this as a sign this could come further north with the snow shield than the Op GFS wants to show. The R/GEMs sure hinting at that as well as the latest GVFv16

You should do well over there Niko. Still need to see a few more last minute bumps NW for me to feel better about what some of these global models are showing.

Remember those storms I used to write about that connected my weather to yours? This looks like one of those "classics". Textbook if it works out right.

So nice to have you in the game bud. Cheers to us both doing well, and you doing even better!

The LES signal is looking more intriguing on this side of the lake.  That may be the wild card for Chicago as it stands right now besides the system snows.  Your area is sitting in a good position to get the better part of the storm for us up north.

This system looks to come in two waves up this way as the main energy tracks up through the OHV and tries to go neg tilt but not quite all the way.  The first wave comes on Mon and then the the stronger wave on Tues.  This was the feature I was hoping to see the models pick up on over the weekend.  The GFS is still the flattest with this main energy while the EURO/UKIE are somewhat more amped.

Tonight's 00z suite has me more enthusiastic about a potential long duration LES/LEHS set up for NE IL and into NW IN. @indianajohn is in a sweet spot.

I noticed the LES was cranking up for Chicago yesterday, is it positioned well for you to get in on that?

Wind Chill Warning and WWA issued.  They are going conservative with 1-3 but with how things have gone around here this season it's a good call, hope I can do better though.

...WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY...
...WIND CHILL WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO NOON
CST MONDAY...
...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM SUNDAY TO NOON CST
MONDAY...

* WHAT...For the Wind Chill Warning, dangerously cold wind
  chills expected. Wind chills as low as 30 below zero. For the
  Winter Weather Advisory, snow expected. Total snow
  accumulations of 1 to 3 inches. For the Wind Chill Advisory,
  very cold wind chills. Wind chills as low as 20 below zero.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Kansas and
  central, north central, northwest and west central Missouri.

* WHEN...For the Wind Chill Warning, from 6 PM this evening to
  noon CST Monday. For the Winter Weather Advisory, from 6 AM
  Sunday to noon CST Monday. For the Wind Chill Advisory, until
  noon CST today.

* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
  conditions could impact the morning commute. The cold wind
  chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30
  minutes.

Map shows I could get 3-4.

Got 1.5” from that day which was on the lower end of the 2-4” forecast.  LES is fickle to begin with so anything that was falling from the sky was a bonus.

As it's modeled now it does not look like the LE will make it as far inland as the last one but this setup has more going for it.  Some locals should really get hit.

Just as long as this doesn't hit Stasch. He's already thrown the towel on behalf of all Micigan. Seriously?? Need a tight gradient of 12" in mby to 1" in his. Gotta balance that nice Storm Warning and LES he just got a week ago. 

Deterministic and ensemble mean QPF for Monday night and Tuesday
is trending down as the system is tracking farther south and east.
This now looks like only an inch or two and mainly for areas
south and east of GRR. Another system later in the week (Thur-Fri)
takes a similar track and may be another near miss for us.

Tbh, I would not mind if this storm took a jog slightly more to the west. This will put me in the heavier snows.

Yes, but a movement more to the NW will provide heavier amounts of snowfall for mby, but not complaining at all.

Houston is gonna see powder from this. The couple of times it snowed when I grew up there, we got slop.

This is an unprecedented event for them down there.
