Once again this will be a major storm for the UP. Those poor Yoopers had green grass this time last year. Guess mother nature is making up for it in a big way.

I got .2 on some surfaces.

Was fun to track one last major storm. But alas, I have been beat to hell again. 75 mile difference between huge snowfall versus all rain. Being on warm weather. I’m over this shit.

High winds have begun… RFD G60MPH.

3.4" at midnight so far for me. Not really a blizzard yet. Unless the wind kicks up a couple notches, this is just a good ol fashioned winter stm.

Let it go, let it goCan't hold it back anymoreLet it go, let it goTurn away and slam the doorI don't care what they're going to sayLet the storm rage onThe cold never bothered me anyway Let it go, let it go…..

Imagine super Nino with blocking

High 76 low36. Precip 0.59”

Another death has been unfortunately found in a damaged home in Aroma Park from the Kankakee-area tornado.

super nino lfg...19 months to go?

Defintely If only the cutter didnt get strong. We all could of had a nice storm next week with the cold air in place.

Great. Though at this point, it's as likely to be a storm of lava as it is rain or snow. Maybe more likely.

Only 7 months to go..

From a pattern recognition/climo perspective, it's very difficult to get warning level snowfall into the heart of the Chicago metro with wraparound from a surface low that initially tracks so far NW. The various solutions that have shown a big hit demonstrate that those outcomes are certainly plausible. However, with needing to get the multiple moving parts right, there's plenty of failure modes (as shown by the solutions that keep the big snow out of the metro), and reason to be skeptical locally.

The cat was meowing so went to see where he was at. Found him sitting on the bathroom windowsill. And looked out and wow there are so many stars shining tonight. Guess he was telling me to come look.

I took my first walk outside in ~a week this evening due to the end of false summer. It was pleasant with near normal mid 50s, dewpoints near 40, and a nice steady breeze. Looking forward to nice walking wx over almost every one of the next 10 days. Spring has sprung. Actually it is a fallback to spring in this odd March!

AI GFS took a huge jump north and is more in line with the OP now. ICON and GEM are way north too.

lol Duke won their game against FSU 80-79, while UNC lost their game to Clemson 80-79 (after a ferocious near-comeback by Carolina). College basketball.

I just realized winter is basically gone and no more snow. Depressing.

beyond that it snows in October and May, but it's not winter...nothing close. I guess late March/April can be "winter-like" in the mountains, that aside it's done

To all the boxelder beetles that decided to come out and play when it hit 80 - RIP BOZOS GUESS YOU DIDNT PLAN ON THIRD WINTER

word

Quick edit from pontiac, also got a ton of shots from this storm with my film camera, which'll be neat to get developed

2001, 2007, 2020, 2024 averaged 35" after the equinox. Doesn't last nearly as long, but quite wintry. Add 1982 for the most "wintry" April storm for the Northeast in the past century or longer.

I'm up in Alberta and interior BC at the moment and have noticed how all the secondary roads have a ton of sand on them. Doesn't appear that much salt is applied. Reminds me of central Maine 40+ years ago in college when the roads were ice and snow covered a good portion of the winter. I hate salt and all that pre-treatment crap they throw down - can only imagine what it is doing to the water table.
