ok, doc.

It wasn’t off based, and did the best within 18-24 hours. Sniffed out the south trend and latched on to it.

due south of you, but well south, along i-88.

Flipped fully over to snow now, with about a 1/2" down.

Flipping between snow and ice pellets since then.

Flipped to ice pellets here a bit ago. Probably 0.1” of accumulation or so.

Looks like guidance finally has a handle on things, as confirmed by how radar is shaping up. Kudos for the Euro leading the way over the past 18-24hrs. There’s going to be one heck of a snowfall gradient from NW-SE across the heart of the LOT CWA.

Just had a very close CG hit here at home. Shook the house, and rearranged pictures on the wall.

essentially this. just take a look at ens guidance currently, and the range that still exists at this time. some ens have a non-event south of the wi/il border, some favor cycloneville for, others favor the mchenry area crew, and there are numerous that favor the metro.

yep.

i shared the stats not too long ago. this is our best season in terms of both snow and cold in several years.

fun to watch the shift in guidance today… much of 12z guidance shifted north, except the euro, which shifted south. now, much of 18z guidance is shifting south, and the euro has doubled down to shift even more south. zero surprise over any of this.

lol, no.
