Clipper Tracking a Little Farther North

As I hinted last night, the clipper is tracking a little farther north, and that does change the forecast some. First, it brings the rain/snow line and area of lower totals farther north, so for Chicago instead of being on the edge of the 12"+ line like yesterday you are now on the edge of the 6" line. Areas just north of Chicago will likely see around a foot of snow. The threat for accumulating snow has shifted into Detroit. It appears they will be on the northern edge of this system but will see 1-3" in the city and 3-6" immediately south of the city itself. For Ohio, the mix line will be a little farther north, but not much farther north than it was. But, the higher totals have been shifted to the NE a bit, so it now appears that even Ashtabula county could see 2-4" of snow. Just a few small changes overall as the clipper is tracking a little farther north, but the bottom line is this thing will still bring a period of heavy snow for quite a few areas
