All Activity

There’s a report a bit further northeast from there of 5” in 90 min this morning, too.

I think Mark (Ellinwood) is still around just not as much. There are folks on here that used to (may still?) chat with him regularly.

Another nice weenie band with some better flake size kind of camped over the SE metro now as the system pivots. Went out around 10 am and it was getting harder to measure but averaged between 9-10” then.

NWS Green Bay mentioned that Wausau has 19.2” as of 10am. That’s in roughly 12 hours, wow.

I am in downtown Minneapolis. Yes I wish we got crushed but congrats to those further south of us that got under that nasty band. Its still snowing good now and the winds are howling. Many cars stuck on the roads as I walk around. Not sure why people travelling on the roads today ?

Yeah bit of a bust in the metro as the most intense banding ended up ~75 miles south where 20”+ totals are verifying. Still a really high quality storm here at least, we’ll see what the afternoon brings.

beautiful day outside i am going to miss the chill when it is gone..

Maybe for once this Chicago wind could actually be useful and blow over Rockford's snow to us to make us feel better

They have ?

Anyone else here into working out? Me and my fiance hit the gym 6 days a week and take what we eat seriously. Gym couple goals.

I moved to PA in 2006. I cannot recall a more favorable setup here than tomorrow for a QLCS packing 70-90 mph winds, hail and perhaps a tornado closer to the MD border. The fact it will be slower and later than it looked like a few days ago makes it even worse. It’s going to hit right after peak heating and soaring dews.

Yeah I mean it's literally his name

Not really. He’s basically saying still a lot of moving parts and not to trust anyone solution. Which is playing out in real time. Note the model shifts just in the last 12 hours. Which is why I complemented LOT. Issued a conservative call but with some flexibility if short term trends change. Looks like 2-4 still in play here in Dupage. I’ll take it and than gladly close the book.

Shouldn’t high risk, be high risk? Haha

Idk about using global models at short range, but interesting dual maxima of snow on GEFS in NW IL and NE IL. Who knows what happens.

Up to 66F at PIT. If we can hit 70F, that would be the fifth 70+ day of the year already, which would match 2025, 2000, 1946 & 1876 for most on record. Little bit of weather trivia there.

I nominate @high risk to replace Ellinwood

Measured 6”. What a complete joke after what the models showed for so long. I swear the north metro has a weather curse. .

A representative from every preceding rung must be on board to go to the next step. I know Ian and Ellinwood aren’t around as much now so it may be time to update the system—just like the SPC. It’s just worked so beautifully for the last what, decade?

Eskimo Joe has been in... so I think we are at the top rung lol

So mysterious

Seems quite unusual that CTP is strongly on board for this event. They are usually pretty conservative.

yep.

Tomorrow I'd just like to have a good thunderstorm consisting of good thunder and continuous lightning without wind over 25mph. But I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
