These bowling ball type lows can do interesting things. Definitely something to keep track of. 

It's been awhile since we had one.  In case some of you forget what they look like, see below...

Seriously, for those who might not know, a bowling ball low/storm/track is one that moves pretty much west to east.

I would caution though.....because it could be closed off.....it wouldn't yield typical bowling ball storm results

Absolutely.  Strength and latitude play a major influence, along with cold air source up north.

last night at 168 the UK had it closing off down along near the gulf coast (which would align with the ECM) 12z 168 won't be out for a couple hours

I think I'm going to be that guy that cashes in from another storm that had potential for OHV'ers. At this rate a low over lower MI seems like a legit possibility:

The snow cover gradient baroclinic zone looks to be locked into a GLC kind of storm track:
