We need ALEK to start a thread only 345 hrs to go

 

Chicago gets to 40+ as the low moves NE. Can prob lock this in 

Was in downtown today for video purposes and it rained for 80% of the time, lol. Radar would make you think it was snowing, nope. 

Straight garbage in Westchester. Been trying to transition for a while now. Rain rain go away

Really tragic how the NAM is a rainer for half the event in NE IL. 

Ice is having a hard time here. Rates are pretty high

Widespread 3-7” of snow, then widespread 0.25-0.60” ice.

Now we wait for that last minute WSW

12z RGEM

 

i know models don’t matter at this point but I thought that RGEM would have backed off somewhat by now

 

 

Ride the HRRR for IL snow

The tread marks of SLPs over LOT's head is growing tiresome. 12Z suite shows no let up with this rain, zr pattern. Cold rain till mid March seems likely

Hopefully we continue with cold rain so we can immediately start spring in mid March.

Hasn't there been some guidance showing troughs in the west from mid March on?  Like Euro weeklies?  We can always hope for a more active storm season than we've had of late.

Yep. Late March --> April I believe. I'm ready for a nice severe season. :p

Everything is coated in ice here already. 

Both the 0z 12km NAM and 0z HRRR are pretty bigly on ice in the LOT area. 

Went from around 10" to just piles in parking lots these last couple days. Cold front coming through now. 

Precip is hauling ass. Not sure we're gonna get the big totals in extreme N IL. Guess we'll see. Seeing pixie dust reports too, bleh. 

Hopefully we can get a nice severe/tornado event so we can say we had a tornado outbreak at the beginning and end of winter. Lol

06z GFS ticked south as well. 

Edit: 6+ along i88 and north.

This run looks to still run along the IL/WI border.

Seems a tick south compared to previous runs. Nothing huge, though. 

Can't wait for the thaw during February. Even though N IL has gotten some good events, C Cook to the city have been screwed. My biggest snowfall of the year is 5". Zzz, I'm ready for 2/28/17 2.0

GFS and Euro have been consistently hitting on that stronger clipper this weekend/early next week. Fun times ahead

Big flakes and good rates in Oak Brook. Roads are back to being covered.
