  1. Flake size pretty solid at the office in Rosemont. Looks like a legit snowfall outside for once instead of the varying intensity crap we’ve seen all season. Let’s overachieve and restore some faith in winter tonight.
  2. Agreed. Too bad that upstream cold can’t involved sooner and blow this thing up.
  3. Can we quit it with these pitiful looking snow swaths? For the love of all that is holy, it's February.
  4. Lookin like our first solid 4-8” decent ratio true winter snowfall with no mixing concerns. Bout time. Plenty of time for things to go wrong.
  5. Have been staying with my little dude about 6 miles south in Vernon Hills because my daughter has the flu. Just drove home to check on her/the wife. A bit more snow here. I’d guess... About 1.9”
  6. Looks great. Isn’t adding up for squat. Maybe Groundhog Day period will actual produce something other than slop.
  7. Got about an inch or so last night before it shut off. Temp stayed slightly above freezing the whole time, so it wasn’t stacking well, and some melted/compacted. Coming down good again now.
  8. Steady fatties finally. This stuff will stick.
  9. Not accumulating efficiently at all. Best of the band is already north of here.
  10. Look at Racine obs. They flipped to rain last night too. It was raining here in Lake County by midnight. Still don’t think tonight will work out.
  11. Radar doesn’t look half bad for once this event. ... Gotta say... as someone who lived in Lakeview for 8 years and then moved onto 2+ acres in the woods (in the burbs)... Lakeview is kind of like the suburbs of the city. Just sayin’.
  12. Edit: never mind, rates picked up, temp dropped, it’s sticking again for now
  13. Pathetic performance. Iffy thermals, but that dropped the R/S line from Duluth to southern Missouri.
  14. Big fluffy flakes up here. Really doubt tomorrow night comes together like some of the models are showing.
  15. So if you get 4” and it compacts/melts down to 2.5” by tomorrow AM... is that a win?
  16. It’s a tough walk to the front door.
  17. Just shoveled the walk out front. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to snow on top of a layer of liquid, but this is a pretty powdery dry snow. Definitely not the 8:1 ratios mentioned earlier in the thread. Sucks that it’ll rain on top of it.
  18. Closing in on 4”, blowing around pretty good, solid flake size. Forgot what this looks like.
  19. Kinda surprised at the amount of snow on the ground up here in Lake County vs what had accumulated down by O’Hare. Closing in on 3”. Granted my drive home took ages.
  20. Bit bigger than pixie at work in Rosemont. Will probably clear my driveway late tonight before the junk > flash freeze.
  21. I'm sure those "followers" would be more than happy to disagree with him, but Alek the Contrarian has made a realistic call on this one.
  22. Fully expecting 1.5" of snow/sleet followed by drizzle > into the freezer for the weekend. Tips of grass blades won't get covered. This forum will be a giddy place when we finally get a solid snow threat with no risk of mixing/garbage.
  23. We’ve had on and off flakes since I woke up (aka the kids woke me up) this morning. At times it has actually looked pretty legit. It’s still only accumulated about an inch on the grass. Whatever happens this evening, I’m just glad we didn’t get the ice.
