Drain those outdoor hoses

I'm in westmont so pretty close to you, if not a tad west still

Did NWS do away with 'lake effect snow warnings'. ?

I was assuming he meant 81/82 winter.

Mostly cloudy (standard), but temps are outstanding.

I'm in Hinsdale area.. Hoping for same

Good

Good luck to everyone in the potential path - rooting for a historic event

Had 8.3 inches of snow on the 12th, then a 2 degree low on the 13th. BUT still ended up a +5.1 for the month of Dec 1982 with the massive warmth (+15 to 20) the first week of the month and the few days after Christmas running +15's.

This is wild As a result, the expectation is for the lake effect snow bands to be unusually intense with peak snow rates of 3 to locally 5 inches per hour, frequent lightning and thunder, and pockets of hail.

Moved east almost to the border of cook and dupage. Obv still not near ground zero but it would be cool to get in on something. Maybe if round 1 does okay this far inland and then the band drifting down from the WI border also makes it to us for a bit, we could get the ground full white for the afternoon. Congrats Alek/downtown gang, mclovin it for you

Weeks of boredom incoming. Also doesn’t look like a ton of moisture for the drought areas.

Currently no watches or warning in Wisconsin!!

And sadly the plane and train crashes.

Good sign

1982 is highly underrated. Those consecutive cold Sundays were bitter cold and record setters!

It’s not scientific but it is reality for DC/ -15 departures are hard to come by and it’s a waste at this time in Nov. if it’s the beginning of a near constant 30-45 day reload pattern then that’s different but usually not the case The main thing we need turned around us the absence of Miller As. second and in conjunction are clippers cutting under us pulling down reinforcing cold air . whatever causes those two is what I want to see in projections mjo and SSW stuff to me is unproven. The two circumstances referenced above are proven

Had a gusty shower around 10:30 am, and another one around 1:30 pm. High (I'm assuming since it has dropped a few degrees) was 61.6 degrees around 1 pm. Currently 59.2/48.7 at 2:15 pm with mostly cloudy skies.

HRRR is liking Lake Co., IL & Kenosha a little more with the 18z.

KMRX has upgraded the WWA's to a WSW just over the border. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Nice to see snow in the air at the giants/bears game. My daughter works downtown and lives in Logan Square. I bet she’ll have a lot more at work near the lake vs home. Meso effects are so unpredictable. I was visiting in July and we went to dinner in the west Loop area one night and got 3” of rain in a fairly short time. 5 miles north nothing.

Made that post yesterday basically saying I wish this setup happened about a month later .

I'd love to have a new storm track one of the years. The one of the last decade sucks...not even "higher amounts north and west of the city" exists anymore! I find the fact that there is no clear cause rather annoying, lol
