This is looking like the real deal for Chicago, of course after I just left town for the next week.

This is some real nice SN, big flakes stacking up -- grass should be covered shortly. A little surprised how fast that transition to snow went being just 4 miles from the lake.

Just changed to mostly snow here in Deerfield.

Wind driven rain in Deerfield. Curious to see what will fall under the heavy returns about to come overhead.

Yeah its all rain and slush here in the loop area. About to make the drive to Deerfield, curious if they’re the same since it’s also a few miles from the lake (although a bit north of the city).

1.2 miles here. Im gonna get all rain, arent I?

See below post, good info for the mechanics of the rain to snow transition (for Urbana-Champaign but applicable to most areas): https://x.com/vortexjeff/status/1744480403405050115?s=46

Liking the trends so far, a slightly weaker low would produce a more spread the wealth situation in N IL it seems. As long as we can avoid rain here in Chicago, I'll be happy (famous last words).

Downtown chicago here… beating a dead horse but would much rather be on the northern fringe than the southern fringe of the defo axis for this one, especially with the warm lake. This one’s either gonna be nothing or a nice 5-6” imo.

Getting some light showers downtown lol

Gotta love to hate the lake

It wasnt. Yeah this things gonna ride the instability gradient just to the south of Chicago. Kankakee special

“Cool layer” I can barely breathe downtown Chicago right now its still 86/75

Lots of clearing coming - I have a good feeling about today.
