Jackpot looks to be MI, where much of the lower peninsula will see 2-5" with locally slightly greater amounts from enhanced lake effect snows over the "thumb".

Last call for OV/GL rain to snow event
Used a combo of GFS MOS and ETA 40km temps, ra/sn lines and precip totals. Have not used the EXACT temps and snowfall from these models, but it gave me a good idea, and of course I took temps, own gut opinion and other things into consideration.

When you make a brash statement like this, please back it up with some reasons/facts, even if it is only what the NWS in that area is saying. It is much more helpful to understand why it might bust so the facts that are causing the bust vs what is anticipated by the persons study and reasearch can be compared(for themselves at a minimum).

you want me to back it up? I live in the area he had painted as heaviest snow. It's 1:40PM and it's still raining. There is some snow in the higher elevations but that's it. It's rain, the boundary layer is just too warm. i live here, I know!!

Whole different ballgame out this way Quincy. Trust me i have had to find this out the hard way myself.
Perhaps next time you will do better. Just gottan watch those LE areas and exactly and i do mean exactly where the low itself is going because beeing on the westside of the apps and having the lakes around changes things drastically in this region.
