everyone it is Monday evening, January 31. I wish everybody a good thing. Clay desh was Scottish other. We are in the midst of just a day before that storm we spoke about last Thursday several days ago, we mentioned that there's going to be a Arctic airmass colliding with copious amounts of Gulf moisture. The gates to the Gulf of Mexico have opened up and all of its moisture is streaming right along the front. In fact, we have A Flash Flood Watch in effect for the Texas area. The storm we spoke about Thursday we mentioned it's going to be getting together organizing itself in the mid part of the country, bringing one to two feet of snow in the bull's eye, nothing has changed. That's the forecast I wanted two feet in the bull's eye, there is more clarity in regards to where this storm is going to be going. It's going to be south of Chicago, South Bend, Indiana will be the bullseye. That's what I think 12 to 24 inches, I think more than 12 inches for South Bend. 1516 inches, maybe even more. More than that maybe 1516. Springfield, Illinois wanted two feet as well. It's hard to say one to two feet, there also could be some freezing rain and sleet over in that area, the beginning of the precipitation might start off as rain even in South Bend, that's not really going to dampen the snow too much, though, a Thursday is going to be really the main powdery heavy snow, that's when the soda water ratio will be 13 to one. As the colder air comes in, the flakes become fluffier, and they pile up quicker. Also, despite the fact we don't have any intense low pressure over here, very strange. We have the arctic air we have the Gulf moisture, usually in the Midwest, in order to produce a major winter storm which is defined to six inches or more, you need a deep low pressure system. You know, I searched and searched I checked the GFS model, I checked the European computer model, and I see an intense low pressure in southern Canada. But that has nothing to do with this. The only thing that has to do with this is that's going to be responsible for bringing in the cold air. It's the front associated with that low pressure in Canada, that's going to bring in the cold air, that's going to cause the precipitation to change to snow rather quickly. But the main precipitation, the main moisture, which is in the hole, all the moisture involved in the systems coming out of the Gulf of Mexico. And it kind of you know, its revolves around this 29.7 low in Texas, if even that that low pressure system then opens up into the Tennessee Valley. Eventually we do find this a 29.7 low pressure system, which moves across the Tennessee or Ohio Valley on Thursday, making its way to the East Coast affecting cities like Buffalo, New York, Syracuse, New York, Providence, Rhode Island as well. Those cities also could get heavy snowfall from this as well wanted to feed again in the bullseye going south of Chicago, Springfield, Illinois, South Bend, Indiana, there also could be some lake effect on the backside, the lake effect snow could also be affecting Chicago. That's really a big wild card over here how much snow is going to be falling Thursday from the lake effect snow, and also the the initial stage, which happens through over running, I think that will affect the Chicago area, bringing several inches of snow and that initial stage the overriding it's really this main system itself. That's the question for the Chicago area. We have arctic air very dry air just to our north, it's going to cause a lot of the snow to evaporate before it touches the ground for the Chicago area, especially areas north of Chicago. And that's why the Chicago area might not get much snow from the system itself. But before that arctic air comes that close to Chicago, we will see some snowfall Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning America, Cheyenne, it's possible the snow might even fall heavily for it time. And then you know, then when As that arctic high gets closer and...
