  1. Got a quick hit from a lake effect snow shower and it quickly dusted the area. Hope to get at least a few inches from the next 24 hours to whiten the area!
  2. HRRR keeps trending further NW and orienting it more SW-NE with the LE band for tonight. Now parking it closer to MKE. Edit: At least LE may be the only thing Wisconsin will win today...
  3. That makes sense. Im half kidding keeping false hope after being missed by synoptic snow and mostly missed by LE in Chicago downtown
  4. Ride the GEM. Looks to orient the band more N-S and focus LE closer to Evanston and the Chicago metro.
  5. Been lurking for a while, but my birthday is Jan 12th a good snowstorm would be a great birthday gift
  6. Wondering if the main bow near Oregon, IL will dive south of Chicago. Interesting that portion is warned for 70 while the parts N and S are warned for 80.
  7. Excited for some showers and a cold pool
  8. Im expecting the classic NE IL special today: QLCS weakens just before reaching here and also ruins chances for severe later in the day lol SPC seems pretty optimistic regarding this line per MD #927, I wouldn't mind being wrong.
  9. This is looking like the real deal for Chicago, of course after I just left town for the next week.
  10. 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.
  11. Just changed to mostly snow here in Deerfield.
  12. Wind driven rain in Deerfield. Curious to see what will fall under the heavy returns about to come overhead.
  13. 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).
  14. 1.2 miles here. Im gonna get all rain, arent I?
  15. 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
  16. 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).
  17. 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.
  18. Getting some light showers downtown lol
  19. It wasnt. Yeah this things gonna ride the instability gradient just to the south of Chicago. Kankakee special
  20. “Cool layer” I can barely breathe downtown Chicago right now its still 86/75
  21. Lots of clearing coming - I have a good feeling about today.
  22. At 6:23 saw the end of the Stickney cell https://imgur.com/a/fZAieiG
  23. Agreed, but I think its only a matter of when & where the storms interact with that warm front and instability that is heading northwards.
