Chicago Storm

events up north need threads more often.

send the crippling ice storm this way.

horrid decision making. that makes all too much sense.

Cold front passed through the area earlier this afternoon, with (convective) rain showers accompanying it, which helped to transport higher winds down to the surface. Peak wind gusts of 48MPH at ORD, 52MPH at MDW, and 41MPH at RFD.

Solid sunset a short time ago at ORD…

yes, you have proven your criteria and expectations are outlandish.

6-9” is a big snow, statistically speaking. whatever parallel universe you and beavis live in must be one hell of a place. -2 for using hoss twice.

bad placement. take a break, hoss.

we don’t? you may want to inform central illinois that their 6-9” on saturday was a mirage.

wut.

we thank you for participating in this 2.5 week stretch of winter. we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Low temperatures last night/this morning... -6 RFD -2 ORD -1 MDW Peak wind chills last night/this morning... -23 RFD -21 ORD -21 MDW

I officially brought the snow depth down to 0" this evening at ORD (Really its a T, but we don't report that). We've been barely hanging on to 1" for a day or two now, but there's just too much grass showing all-around to keep that fantasy going any longer.

they will, cause right now they’re not enthused.

I’m not saying that it will happen, but there is a way for the weekend clipper to end up north, even with the current clipper ending up well south.
