Those recently affected by the Midwest storm may have to deal with yet another one in less than a weeks time. We are seeing signs that a rain-to-snow event may hit cities like Chicago, IL that recently were hit with up to 8 inches of snow in some localized areas. Here's a map from Accuweather Meteorologist Henry Margusity:
As of now, my confidence in this forecast is pretty medium. The ensembles are in fair agreement over a rain-to-heavy snow scenario for the Lower Great Lakes. The GFS/ECMWF are also in some moderate agreement in placement of the storm.
Something EXTREMELY INTERESTING we found while finishing up gathering snow totals from Chicago was that the Chicago NWS office put out a 'Likely' chance of snow for this system- a rarity considered the horrible model results this year:
We will definitely keep you updated as Old Man Winter wakes up.

Could this storm be as bad as the one I just had here in the Great Lakes?
AJ; Right now, early indications are 3-6 inches with windy conditions for the Great Lakes.
Thank you.That is good news.Do you think it would be near blizzard conditions?
What kinds of totals might Springfield, IL receive if any?
andrew, is it true that a low pressure coming up from the south into ohio will be weakened by the appalachian mountains.I live in indiana and know this would be a favorable track for heavy snow,but it seems lows rarely take this track.
Wish storm track would shift south. Chicago already got hit with a major storm. Places like Kansas, Missouri, Southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio need to join in on the fun.
Hello Andrew.Do you see the storm track shifting south in the near future?Like for instance,storms taking the scenic route through Oklahoma,Missouri,Kentucky,and West Virginia.
Owen: Maybe an inch or two at most. Subject to change.
Raymond: If you could tell us the timeframe, we could help determine the track and what the storm could do.
Anonymous/Mike: Eventually, some storms will hit your areas.
If there was a storm that came out of the south and moved directly north through ohio,it ptobably would be called a DELTA LOW.This is what caused the 1978 blizzard in ohio.I'm not saying a blizzard would occur,just explaing this type of storm caused the 1978 blizzard.
Good morning Andrew!! Looking at the instant weather maps site,if anything it looks like we may have a major rain storm on our hands at the end of this month.
