Anyone have any snowfall prediction maps?

Still drawing one with my black sharpie.

There is still time to tick this back to something significant, but it’s 3rd and 25 from our own 10 yard line.

This thing is so robust that it jumped that far west & ORD still gets 10 inches in the end.

Another 50 miles west and ORD is gonna get 2" of rain.

 It would be nice if I could come on this forum and go a one full day without somebody bringing up damn ghd2 lol.

GHD is quickly going into the same dumpster as "Katrina" in my mind. Tired of hearing about them.

The depth is 3 to 4" but you have to realize the water content in it is a lot.  I took this picture on Saturday after the last thaw but before the fresh snow on Sunday. The frost depth is about 2 feet so the ground is frozen solid.  Huge water Laden ice snowbanks everywhere too. There's really no water where for the water to run off.

And it can get bad (from March '07)

It’s only 2/8. Do people want summer to be over by 8/8?

No, I want summer to go from 3/1 to 10/31 and autumn from 11/1 to 2/28. That's why I'm moving south.

Really. I'd rather have a torch and spend Valentine's Day with that special someone at a candlelight dinner in our designated tornado shelter.

Bring the Spring!

Waiting at school to pick up my son, about 6-7 miles south of home. The gradient is absolutely amazing. Maybe 2" at home, but close to 6" at school.

I'm in Elgin IL (Northern Kane around I-90) and *right* on the borderline of the snow line ending on radar (as of 12:20 PM) and the flakes are best of the event right now in my area. 

Looks like something may be trying to build up again around I-39 and I could squeeze an inch or two more out of this on the razors edge. 

 

 

I'm just to the east of your red rectangle, and there's nothing falling from the sky under those returns.

So its a Chicago thing then?

 

I would say so.

I see the moniker given to past Ground Hogs day events that were quite significant as GHD I, II for the southern area of this sub forum. In what years did they happen?

2: Regardless of the waving tail effect of the model runs, this looks to be one of those events. I don't see any major back down of QPF in whatever form. So would you like me to change the title now to GHD III?

GHD I and II were very much centered around northern Illinois and Chicago.

It feels like as this time last night Clipper #2 was trending up, but Clipper #3 is becoming a dud...

It's raining in Bismarck ND. In January.

Not that it can't score a win. But it has always seemed to me the HRRR is the model for those not in the game to lean on at gametime to give hope only to be left in the ditch. I've done it repeatedly. Weenie take. Good news for me in this instance it doesn't matter much.

Just like Bears quarterbacks?

16 straight hours in the high 30's is gonna take out the minimal snow there is here.
