I was expecting to wake up to more.

I just drove from Sycamore to home. That band was intense.

School just "cancelled" for tomorrow (e-learning day)

This one can just fuck right off. I have an 11am flight out of O'Hare on Sunday morning.

Called it

Now models are punting the chance of any real snow until mid February.  A few more punts are we'll be moving on to spring.

Kind of funny being under a flood watch on the last day of the month with <0.20" precip for the month till now lol.

0.19" so far for this event.  Heavy band starting to move in and stall.  Still looks like good shot at an inch plus.

EDIT:  Got excited, thought I heard thunder a sec ago, but looked out and realized it was just the garbage dude banging around out there lol.

The worst flooding I've ever had on my property was one of these mid-winter rains of only ~0.50". When those corn fields are frozen solid, there's nowhere for that rain to go and it accumulates FAST.

Prepare for a blizzard Feb 16-19. I am going to Tampa for work that week.

Has there ever been a sub zero HIGH with zero snow depth?

I'm struggling too believe me. But fr, we look good for at least the grass being covered for next week. And we also at least don't seem to be losing the signal for a shot or two later in the month

We got our first "Better head to the basement" storm of 2024 in February.

HRRR snow fall. Lol and the storm isnt even over in this run. 

LOL. 27.5" in Manhattan KS would be the end of the world.

Just spent 40 minutes in the basement...

Can anyone spot where the crude oil pipeline is? (sorry, phone had a hard time focusing due to a slight lack of contrast in the atmosphere today)

Maybe all the mosquitos will hatch early and then we get another cold snap to kill the bastards.

Man imagine if we were just a little over 30 days away from a Morch? Let’s go!

Nine days away from Firebruary.

Throw in the SWE and the temperature of the snowpack going into a thaw. At mid day today, our snowpack had unusually high SWE (1.6" on 6-7" SD at LOT) and in general the temperature across the heart of it was quite cold due to extended cold stretch. Those factors initially make it more resilient, with a warmer snowpack going in more prone to "ripening" faster.

There's going to be steady melt but it appears that temps and dew points up in the metro and points west should stay low enough to prevent a nuking of the snowpack over the next several days. That is unless dew points trend higher absent insolation, as it does appear we should stay cloudy through the period.

I was just outside walking the dog, and quite a bit of my snow has gone from the powder you would expect from the recent cold to packable and able to throw snowballs for the dog.

I had to clear the drifts from my driveway yesterday.

80.5hrs, you added a day lol.  Didn't go below zero till Sat eve the 13th.  Very impressive nonetheless!

Correct, thanks. I hate constantly converting between F and C.

104.5 hours at or below zero at my station.

A short video from my dash cam this afternoon as I drive around checking out the snowpack (I drive past @SchaumburgStormer old house @11:25).
