Great flakes, solid rates. Hope it keep up, love a sledding Sunday with the kids.

Pretty fun to watch the CC radar for this one, especially out in Iowa. Im back to sleet as the mix line just surged north through Lake County and looks to stay there for awhile. Still no raindrops. Madison through La Crosse looks to be in a good spot.

I believe it’s all rimed snowflakes up here, obviously not accumulating effectively, but probably an inch or so down. Definitely no ice to speak of and it’s not sleet anymore. It’s actually blowing and drifting a bit.

Can’t remember the last legit sleet event we had here. Not coming down too hard yet.

Watching the regional radar loop this thing looks like it'll zip through in three hours tops. It's truckin!

Coming down pretty good up here right now. At this rate we'll get a couple inches by this evening.

Somewhere around 4” and still coming down. That pushes us to around 30” for the season and counting. About 14” OTG. December was a dud, but November and January have delivered! TBD on February... will the trend continue?

Despite the great rates in this band, when I open the door I can hear a good amount of dripping from the roof which tells me we're flirting with popping above 32 up here in Lake County.

She's a beaut! The south edge of that band marks the rain/snow delineation right now. Pretty much where the HRRR has shown it.

Looks like the rain-snow line is down around I-80 at the moment. Will have to watch it dance around as the low lifts NE. Looks like it may go north of STL.

All snow now under the heavier returns as depicted by the hi-res models

I'd think based on the orientation of the setup Elgin and Libertyville would see similar amounts, no? I still don't think this will amount to much down here.

20z HRRR is teasing us border county folks with some legit snow. Puts the heaviest band from QCA > Rockford > Racine once things get going this evening.

Saw several accidents near ohare just now. Also multiple people driving with their heads out the driver side window. People need to know to use their defrosters.

Deep winter
