Just dropped 12 degrees in the last 20mins! Wind feels almost cold. Here it comes

Eps has a transfer. Its a possibility but still early in the season.

Yeah, multiple Arctic Front's.

MRX keeps the higher snow chance tonight for my area but models seem to suggest tomorrow afternoon is the better shot. Either way, they chose to not expand any advisory to my area.

The purgatory of eventless seasons continues……

Agreed for the most part. But at some point that will change. We’ve had some decent autumn storms this fall, Hopefully those come again when we are at a climatologically colder time of year.

Wintry forecast this week. Chat with the head of the ski area this week, looks like they’ll try to open by the weekend weather permitting!

The entire year has been "quiet" so far...a remarkably dull year for weather..

Forget what I said about the Tempest station being a good unit. We had a good heavy rain here today, and every station around me recorded at least a half inch including the USGS gauge. The local readings ranged from .46" to .82" with one a block away from me reading .66" My station recorded only .21" Even the wind seems wonky. I'm learning that my location is just not going to see many gusts over 20 due to the nearby homes and mountains. Not sure how I got that 38 mph reading a couple months ago, but I don't think it actually happened. I think I'm going to go back to a traditional station, hopefully by the end of the year.

Makes more sense, Dec 1981 was a -4.3 for me here.

79 currently. Can't believe we will have a high of 40 tomorrow, with a low of 22. Nuts

A little ahead of schedule but we are rocking.

Not happening James! I like it quiet now…let the action start as we enter a colder time of the month.

Was fun while it lasted now starts the trend back to realistic totals:

How is that different than the last five years +? Another winter of it

12z gfs is zzz. Weeks and weeks

The NWS Central Region did a few years ago. The move was made to make simplify things and lower the number of headlines types overall. But at the same time, it's kind of of dumb, because this is clearly not a "winter storm". Gain simplicity, lose accuracy.

Same as a few other posters, moved further east to border of Oak Park and Austin this weekend. Liking my odds of getting in on some 6+ snowfall to welcome me into the new space :)

Something will break…, and if not, a good time for it to be quiet…bring the action around or after Thanksgiving.

GSP mentioned 25:1 ratios tomorrow afternoon and night along with convective snow dropping an inch an hour rates!

If formidable blocking is realized, it should be above average Snowfall. Had 2010-11 or 95-96 not had that ACE Snowfall would have undoubtedly been much less.

Drain those outdoor hoses

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