For anyone unable to get out there and "enjoy" this wind:

I hate wind.

Not too bad ourselves. Thinking burbs may score a 2-4” event 

IDK...Radar looks like a PIA surprise. LOL

Now if only the GFS can be believed which we all know is next to impossible.  Even Chicago would see something from this.  The Ohio Valley is left out, but if this happens their time may come. The positive thing from this is that it looks like cold air will finally make a return to at least parts of the subforum.

I'd say that has about the same odds as Nagy keeping his job.

Chicago's latest measurable record is so going down.  Twice in 10 years.  

What happened in Jan/Feb/Mar of 2013?

What even is this shape?

I dunno, doesn't look like a Ferrari or Lamborghini, so likely just EF1 damage being shown here.

Now I'm imagining Clarkson sitting in his Lambo when an ear of corn flies through his windshield.

I saw this recently posted on Reddit from a John Deere repair shop in Kentucky.

Interestingly, HRRR soundings show some SBCINH ahead of the line of convection as it crosses the Mississippi this evening...but it doesn't kill it off.

A case of frontal forcing/dynamics strong enough? Still, may be a limiting factor on gust intensity and tornado production.

Anything that limits the gust intensity is welcome.

You do know we live on a round planet, right?

Nobody remembers the southern hemisphere.

Yeah that's a heck of a lightning barrage out there by Dekalb.  Showing 8 strikes in 2 minutes.  

They were LOUD too.

Thunder Snow south of DKB!

Shit isn’t good out here in the stix. 19” base of powder that had plenty of time to dry out with -20 dews is blowing like crazy. 
 

Snagged this from a Facebook group, but it’s a fair representation of our east/west roads. 
 

My wife just informed me that apparently a train has become stuck in a snow drift south of DeKalb.

A TRAIN.

Four days of steady north wind with 10" of sugar means I have 6' tall drifts to deal with tomorrow when the wind dies down.

Old crusty snowcover doesnt do anything for me but y'all enjoy your yellow/black dirty snowcover.

Blinding white out here, nothing yellow, black, nor dirty about it.

we hit on these next couple, even modestly, and we're pushing top tier depths for our climo

Out here in corn country, I judge snow cover by how much corn stubble is still visible. In 25 years, I can't recall it being this deep for this long, ever. There is barely a corn stalk visible in any field.

Deep frost depth plus above average snowcover will be nasty once we get that first 40 degree Rainer

After traversing this lengthy period of very cold temps and things start to warm back up I think the feeling by most (especially the public) is that we really turned the page on deep winter.  Could be the first hint at spring fever for many if we suddenly get a few days in the 40s for example, after such a long period of cold.  Days are getting longer.  

I'm definitely enjoying these deep winter conditions; the deep snowpack, arctic temps, frequent snow events, etc.  I'll def enjoy whatever else ma nature throws at us going forward, but after this long stretch of deep winter I'll definitely start to think more and more about spring, and severe convective events, outside BBQs and the like.  

As long as it's in the 50's or 60's for Spring Break, I'm cool.

peeks of average to above average temps finally arriving around 2/17-2/19.  Guessing people will be getting tired of the cold by then

I'm already tired of it, and it hasn't arrived yet.

@Malacka11 No dysentery this time.
