Yes, heavy dusting at my office in Bloomingdale.


.

It’s been fun watching these bone dry clippers suddenly juice up and sneak up on us. You did tell me this is how things go down @michsnowfreak


.

Love this new optimistic Alek bro

Almost a foot near Lafayette, LA. Unreal.


.

Are we dusting in Chicago tomorrow?


.

Honestly, i dont mind them getting a snowstorm. It something they literally never get to see. Let em enjoy. itll be gone in 2 days. 

A once in 5 lifetimes event down there. Crazy.

Something has got to give and wash away all this salt.


.

Sure hope we get some Nina rains this spring. A nice stretch temperature-wise after the next couple of days although the bright sun and no snowcover really helped modify the cold.

Haha I was implying there's nothing worth tracking in the foreseeable future for any of us in the sub. And that's on top of going half the winter without anything either. It's just endless cold and occasional 1-3" clippers. 

U seem very sensitive idk why

Atlanta getting more synoptic snow then Chicago
What kind of hell winter is this 

Unfortunately these southern snows rarely come through as modeled. We tend to see a northwest trend 24 to 48 hours out. Sleet is also going to cut into these totals big time. Warm advection wins.

I’ve lived through a few of them (for the “we can tell you’re new here” crew )

If there’s energy spinning through here it seems to over perform. Dusters become an inch or two. We will have to take what we can get.

Snow is gone, lawn is bare and ready for pre-emergent.

lol of course theres a shot at a late winter snow. Your area can literally get snowstorms into April. But theres absolutely nothing in mid-January that is going to shed any light on whether or not you get a big storm the remainder of this winter.

can tell you are new to the region

I agreed completely, especially considering the upcoming cool down. But with the snowpack damage done  yesterday already, I can't let myself be a downer today

At the risk of sounding like a shitposter like the rest of yall, this warm spell kind of just ruined me because I realized I literally dgaf about getting snow momentarily. The warmth feels so nice

As Eastwood says in Unforgiven," Deserving's got nothing to do with it." We will get a snowstorm at some point but it may not be this winter.

Agree. I've always said it and the last many years have magnified it. I'll take our climate any day over the east. Way too feast or famine there. It's been nice to have the daily snow. Certainly have to think the pattern will change as shown. While it likely won't allow everyone to score big, it will certainly bring more winter storms to the region. 

Mixed bag on the GFS. Good to see Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin get a good snow. Also into northwestern Illinois. They’ve been nickel and dimed or had almost nothing at all. Historic period as we will potentially see 5+ inches along the eastern seaboard from South Georgia to Canada. Very cool. I’d expect Ohio valley to get in on the action again though this run missed them. Here in Chicago maybe some mood flakes for now.

Ain't no way this is happening.

Snow depth is now down to 0" at here at ORD.

So have most of the Great Lakes region. Some of us have 1-3" our way to 10"+ but weak clippers or lake effect snow don't count. But for those that haven't even experienced that, I truly feel for y'all.
