Think we peaked yesterday (Tuesday). MDW compacted by 3” between Tuesday and Wednesday, and with warmer temps on the way (at last) and the late Feb sun, we’ll lose a few more. Regardless, what a month!
Sun emerged and the cloud deck cleared quickly behind the last band. Almost felt like a MCS clearing the area, except it was like 6 degrees and there’s a foot and a half of snow on the ground.
Anyone seen any snow reports from northern Cook north of Evanston? Based on this afternoon's radar and the update above I'd guess 3"-4".
Lake plume is finally beginning to shift north into Lake County. Let's see how transient it is. Yesterday's 3K NAM had a good read on the movement of the plume today.
Sounds reasonable. Lake band is looking a bit more impressive. Imagine the Winnetka/Wilmette area has picked up an inch or two.
Flurries have commenced here.
Thinking MSN to MKE is in a good spot for a few fluffy inches. Should be a decent refresher down here, hoping for a boost from the lake. Would like to see the lake band move overhead and beef up as returns move in this afternoon/evening.
12Z 3K NAM parks a decent looking band over northern Cook and Lake (IL) for several hours tomorrow. As always, hard to say if much will come out of it. Other hires models don't back it as far west.
