ILSNOW

Still waiting and hoping for our 7 days of winter in hopes that we can top New Orleans in snowfall.

Ricky giving us some hope Then as we move into the first week of February and beyond, a more La Nina-like pattern may finally unfold, bringing a more active (and more moisture laden) storm track. With pronounced mid-level ridging up to and north of Alaska shown on medium range ensemble guidance, the potentially more active pattern in early Feb should still have decent cold air in place across the north central US. If this holds, there may be opportunities at accumulating wintry precip events, hinted at by the last several cycles of ensemble member meteograms (member view and mean 24-hour QPF and snow).

18z NAM coming in hot

Nice to see the folks in the Florida Panhandle getting in on the snow.

When was the last time the models were this locked in 5 days in advance with little deviation. If this was a Chicago storm the models would be all over the place. best of luck to everyone south and east!!!

Hopefully get a 1/2 inch of lake effect sunday night to push us over 6 for the season!!!!!!

Dont give up we will have our traditional 5-7 days of winter sometime in late Jan/early Feb!!!!!!!

Chicago NWS UPDATE... Issued at 1127 AM CST Thu Nov 21 2024 Just a note on forecast expectations into this afternoon. Recent reports indicate up to 3" of snow in Lake and Cook Counties, with moderate to heavy snow continuing to fall, including 1/4 mile visibility at KMDW as of this writing. Also seeing less than 1/4 mile visibilty at KGYY and KIGQ. A look well upstream shows primarily snow hanging on up until central Wisconsin, where the transition to light rain and drizzle has taken place from a combination of warming temps and decreasing cloud ice. The overall trend is a slower rise in temps over the next couple hours and correspondingly the ptype transition taking a bit longer as well. Warming cloud tops punching south from southeast Wisconsin will steadily diminish snowfall rates into the Chicago metro, and then bring the anticipated changeover to light rain and drizzle in the 2-3pm timeframe. While snow will hang on a bit longer than earlier forecasts, little (up to a couple tenths) to no additional accumulation is expected after noon for most of the Chicago metro. Thus, not currently seeing any reason to change the advisory end time of 1pm.

I will take the RGEM for $1000 please

the 12z HRRR Alek snow

Is there any hope for us here in the midwest or more of the same to be expected? This is from the snowmonger Joe Bastardi!!!! Monster stratwarm going on right now Lets see what that means for March 10-April 10 ( target response period)

Looking forward to the late March snowstorm where we get 3-6 inches that melts away in less than 24 hours. This winter (take away 7-10 days in Jan) has been horrific and I truly can’t remember the last time we had a during the day.

here is the 1st one nice 1017 low moving thru IL
