Looking forward to my flurries storm tonight

12Z GEM still has a storm but trending weaker 12z 0Z

Things are not looking up 18z GFS total precip which includes my possible 1/2 of snow on monday

Rant!!! I remember a time when we would have a parade of clippers ( what happened to them) and when storms would phase and bring big storms (what happened to them). Outside of last weeks snow we have had nothing even to track and the next 10days to 2 weeks don’t offer much hope. It’s going to be almost the end of January and we will have snow one day this winter. Places in Kentucky and Tennessee will have twice as much snow!!!!

models are useless 12Z GEM 12Z GFS

12z Euro is very similar

Good for you enjoy!!! Looking forward to the polar vortex visiting at the end of the month with bare ground.

you r correct my bad !!!!

This is the 12z GFS 384 hr snow map (Are you kidding me)

Ricky Next item of note is the potential for a period of robust snow showers/squalls on the Arctic front late tonight-early Wednesday. including into Chicago. We wouldn`t be looking at much in the way of accumulation, though snow could fall heavily for a short period and coat paved surfaces, which would be problematic as temperatures plummet through Wednesday morning behind the front. Finally, have higher confidence in advisory criteria westerly winds (45+ mph gusts) for much of if not the entire area through early Wednesday afternoon. For the full forecast package issuance this afternoon, will be considering a Winter Weather Advisory expansion, as well as likely issuing a Wind Advisory for the remaining counties. Castro

Hopefully February will be rockin!!!!!

yep high and dry for the next 10 days we are heading to mid Jan with 1 snow event for entire season.

5 inches here in Buffalo Grove

U r under a winter storm warning for a duster!!!!!

snippets from KLOT Saturday morning, snow appears poised to spread quickly from south to north across much of northern Illinois and far northwestern Indiana and last through the remainder of the day. The steadiest snow looks to remain within a 10-12 hour period from roughly noon Saturday to midnight Sunday, with snow rates of 0.5"/hr prevailing. Heavier snow rates approaching 1"/hr may develop within transient frontogenetical bands as well as along the Illinois shoreline of Lake Michigan where sufficiently cool temperatures will make the marine airmass unstable within a favorable northeasterly wind trajectory. After midnight, snow will taper from west to east except along the Lake Michigan shore where lake enhancement will continue through daybreak Sunday. Snow ratios look to start near 10:1 Saturday afternoon and increase toward 18:1 Saturday night as the low-level temperature profile cools. The highest confidence area for hitting warning-level impacts (e.g. where travel would be discouraged entirely) is actually in Lake County (IL), eastern DuPage County, and all of Cook County where there appears to be an increasing chance that lake-enhanced snow rates of 1"/hr will overlap with blustery northeast winds, leading to low visibility.

Hopefully Ricky will stop by
