  1. It wouldn't be a real snowstorm threat without running the gamut of highest-quality models... I can't buy into this until the NAVGEM comes into alignment with the Korean and JMA
  2. Back in Chicago for the holidays, looking forward to the landcane
  3. Already flew home once for a storm & look how that turned out Can't go thru this again, rooting hard for a shift away from Chicago so I don't have to stare at these wild numbers lol
  4. Not sure I would even want to imagine half an inch of ice followed by 15" of snow in Chicago; city shutdown for dayz
  5. LOT updates WWA & WSW text at 8:00pm. Extended WWA north into Lake County.
  6. 00z HRRR also delivering some killer lake-effect snow to Cook County, spots of nearly 20" with the run not over yet. A true weenie's paradise.
  7. Sorry, posted wrong image the first time. 00z HRRR snows through early Thursday AM. Some lighter snows still ongoing.
  8. Valid. My straw-grasping tendencies are winning out...
  9. 00z HRRR will tick northwest again for Chicagoland folks...
  10. Will say the Canadian HP looks a couple millibars weaker & southeast HP looks a couple millibars stronger than what zero-hour RAP shows. Ultimate weenie comment, sure, but so it goes... https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=20
  11. I've already reached the acceptance stage of this storm, need the RAP & company to stop their shenanigans
  12. We may be in nowcasting territory but the 18z NAM has a fascinating band now in place Hours 18-24 across N. MO / S. IA -ish area that the 12z didn't have before. Could lend some credence to the higher amounts north of Chicago a la the HRRR/RAP/etc. Anyways...
  13. Looks like the rest of the day will be spent comparing the zero-hour observed SLP charts with the zero-hour 'forecast' charts from the RAP on the SPC mesoanalysis pages, latching on to every pixel looking for a northward trend... Horrendous (and yet somewhat fond) memories of doing this same thing years ago, only to find out (surprise surprise) the most-realistic weather models were right all along
  14. Didn't expect the band to start out this far north (I swear that isn't a straw-grab comment)
  15. This got me thinking & poring over a bit of data, only to find a fascinating quirk in the data. Per Environment Canada, the GFS is, by far, the worst performer of all models in the 24-hour timeframe - even worse than the JMA (monthly RMSE over North America, 500mb GPH). ... Which seems really strange, so here's the webpage for anyone who wants to spot-check https://weather.gc.ca/verification/index_e.html
  16. Already checked the other day, tough to find one that covers this sub.
  17. Waiting to hear those two magic words as the 18z ECMWF comes in... "bumped south"
  18. Desperate times call for desperate measures (in this case, a RAP/RGEM blend)
  19. I'll get an RGEM tattoo if it verifies
