Did I read correctly that this is ORD’s biggest single-day snowfall measurement since 11/21 of 2015?!

May be a little dry-hole coming over the Poplar Grove area around 6pm. We’ll see if it fills in. There was about 3-4 on the ground when I shoveled earlier. Looking similar out my window right now. So my uneducated, unsubstantiated guess would be 7 inches so far in the area.

Yeah. I typically don’t run with them for forecasts; but I just wanted to check for gits & shiggles. Even the most aggressive maps have painted 13.5 at most in these parts.

I’m not sure where Accuweather pulls out their probability percentages. But I would say throwing a 30% chance on a 15 inch minimum outcome seems a little extreme/careless.

Happy Black Friday to those that celebrate with their wallets! Here’s just a brief run-down of Kuch maps from recent model runs: 12z HRRR, 12z 4K NAM, and 6z Euro.

00z GFS nearly a carbon copy of 18z in terms of snow amounts

Operational NAM cooking up another weenie run, especially for E IA/NW IL/SW WI. Hi-res NAM still high but a couple inches lesser.

Let’s behold it together (thru noon Saturday)

You don’t say…

84hr NAM (lol) but sharing as it’s reaching range. Run ends when snow is continuing to fall.

I’ve been sidelined from work since November 6th dealing with a lower back injury. Things are looking good that I’ll be cleared tomorrow to go back to work on 12/1. So, of course, a potential winter storm may dump a foot right before I go back & my 20 year old Explorer is immediately put to the test.

Flakes in Poplar Grove. I won’t be in on the lake effect fun, but the first snow of the season is always enjoyable.

Looks like the lull period will include the Bears game, which is a shame.
