Pouring graupel. 

It’s all big fatty flakes over here. Sun’s about to pop out.

It's really been coming down the past 25 minutes or so. Not amounting to much with the warm-ish temps, but lake effect does look sweet when it's falling.

It's too bad these bands are typically so transient on this side of the lake.

Some legit lake-effect in southeast WI this morning. Remnants should eventually make it to Chicago, but I imagine it won't be quite as intense. 

Driveway coated here already. Intensity comes and goes but at times it ain’t bad at all.

Radar filling in, switching over to snow. Hoping for a couple inches to freshen up the slop sandwich out there.

Still stuck in an area of subsidence south of the NE-SW oriented band. Not doing anything. If this were a solid snow event I wouldn’t be happy about that, but eh. More focused on nursing my NYE hangover anyways

Not doing much of anything here yet. Band set up a couple miles to my north. Expecting the kitchen sink then an inch or two of snow as the low pulls east. Remember when the models had the surface low lifting into Iowa?

About 2.5”. Queue the sleetfest early. It’s a dry snow.

Low visibility, stacking flakes. It’s been awhile.

29ª up here near the Wisconsin border.

Dewpoint still at 20*

Already almost an inch on the ground and still coming down pretty good here in Nauvoo, IL (right across the Mississippi from the southeast corner of Iowa) even though the NWS point and click now says only an inch total for the whole day. My girlfriend and I are here in a cabin on the river for a little vacation away from Chicago, so this is my first real snow of the season  

Pretty sweet looking band moved over your head during the past hour per radar. Hope that translates well to the east.

Radar really filling in nicely down that way over the past few scans.

DVN seems to be having a tough time with saturation, but looks like that should change within the hour - pretty much on schedule with HRRR depiction.

It's 100% on its own. I think we can toss it

I'll happily toss it... depending on how the radar and upstream obs look this afternoon.

NAM continues to depict a quick inch or two of snow/sleet slop for the northern tier of counties and even into southern WI before a flip to freezing rain and rain. Are we just discounting that solution? Certainly not unprecedented.

Everything continues to cave south...

Bring it. The kids are begging for a snowstorm. Get us out of this damn house! Tuned up the blower today - was starting to feel like I wouldn't get to use it this winter.

Sun’s out after a rainy morning

hydro issues on the table across northern tier if things play out right

Luckily June has been pretty dry, but these types of orientations always get me worried.

About 4” here. First overachiever of the season

That first 60 degree dew point of the spring is always a shock. You forget what that feels like.

Ok, this might be the coolest thing this "winter" even though it's not in our region. A super narrow corridor of snow accumulating up to 2"-4" per hour for a total of 8"-13" in the swath. No idea how to link Skilling's facebook post here, but here's the link from the post for those with Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/umscheid300/posts/10156965717932196

Storm of the century!

Shutout cancel. Got less than an inch. Need Geos to move back up here.

Are we taking guesses for highest snowfall report in the sub from this most recent strung out garbage “event”? Not sure anyone will have more than 5” OTG when it’s all over.

Rooting for a complete shutout here. Bring it!

Gonna get sloppy. Marginal temps, warm ground, loads of moisture, heavy rates. Imagine I’ll be out there knocking wet snow off sensitive trees... again. I love a good storm, but early/late season paste jobs have become the norm. Not complaining... I know plenty of you would like to be in the crosshairs of this one.

Same 2019-2020 trash, slightly improved
