If this storm ends up becoming a Blizzard, even if it doesn't, we should pay tribute to our friend from the past, Dominic Rocco.  He would have been having so much fun tracking this storm system.  I k

OT but that was the dumbest playcall in sports history.

Round #4 finished off the driveway, walkways and I still need to clean up the deck.  It has been quite the exercise.  I read that an avg 10' x 20' driveway full of snow from this system weighs a ton.

I'm happy the models are showing good amounts for once but dang, I must be the only one worried about the warm temps, warm ground temps, and all of that with mostly rain during the day. I don't think these models are taking that into account. Seen this way to many times. Yes I can see snow falling don't get me wrong but it will be wet and melt as soon as it hits the ground. Mark my words. It happened last year in Feb. and I see it happening once again. Not trying to be a Debbie downer at all but lived in Nebraska my entire life and have seen this happen time after time.

I wonder if grocery stores are gonna be super packed tomorrow. Not only the typical Saturday rush, but people getting Super Bowl stuff a day early so they don't have to go out Sunday.

 

I've liked the model consistency of a 8-12" event over here the last 36 hours.

00Z NAM BUFKIT shows 14.6 inches for ORD. Usually it ends up being a bit overdone because it tends to overestimate the snow ratios. I think a general 8-12 inches across the Chicago metro with the best chances of a foot plus south of I-88 seems like a good call.

Problem is the rain tho. What are your thoughts as far as that goes?

Yeah it sucks the temps aren't perfect. I'm hoping the heavy precip rates will be enough to create some dynamic cooling and pull down some of that cold air just off the surface so the switchover can occur earlier. I'm hoping for 4-6" in Omaha

Canadian soon- then Euro just after midnight.. but this really is getting to the point to focus on short range / hi res models. Kind of in the middle of those as far as time to the event. The HRRR and RAP will go out 15 / 18 hours respectively.

Just on the 12z run NE folks were flipping out. WWW earlier talked about how if a storm happened, it was going to be south of him anyways, and he's in line to get at least 6-8 from this if not more.

 

Funny how that works. Maybe I should try being more negative and this thing will go north some more.

Sometimes that psychology works, and is part of the reason I prefer to lean to the negative side (I also feel if I'm negative enough, I get rid of the inner weenie and expectations become less).
