18z HRRR dropping 16-17 inches in lake county near lake michigan no way its right but can always dream. It was way to high for the last storm with additional lake enhancement/lake effect.
You want to remember what tracking a potential winter storm is like head over to the nyc forum where they are tracking a potential 15-30 inch storm. Very jealous hoping for a few mood flakes later.
IL just announced that there were systems issues with calculating the # of deaths during the past 24 hours and that todays # will be adjusted upward tomorrow.
