  1. Just took my dogs outside. It is nasty out there. The wind’s blowing in such a way where the deck door was almost snowed in; and the gusts are whipping up little brief “snownados” all over. Good luck to anyone measuring & traveling out here. I’m typically a big snow guy, but this on March 16th may be a little…more than I need?
  2. Sleet/snow combo falling now. Mainly sleet, as my deck is fairly slick.
  3. A blizzard warning in March is certainly noteworthy, even moreso with actual quantities of snow being forecast to accumulate.
  4. Although we’re basically in nowcast territory, here’s the newest GFS:
  5. Big thunderstorm ongoing here. Our cat has made her scurry behind the couch for protection.
  6. 12z HRRR hot off the presses
  7. Once again, a tricky forecast to try nailing for LOT when models continue to shift areas of warning criteria snow in the NW areas. Although, selfishly, the most recent Euro would be insane for my area.
  8. New hi-res NAM really sucking any fun out of Illinois for the event in terms of high amounts. Even furthest western parts of the state.
  9. New hi-res NAM expectedly cutting back on the double digit totals from 12z for NW IL
  10. NAM Hi-res. Maybe not a big hitter for Chicago, but a good lolz run for me in Boone County.
  11. Emeril Lagasse’s cooking up some forecasts now.
  12. Maybe I’m saying this because my dogs got me up at 4:45am to go outside, but my backyard is a little ridiculous right now. In some spots, the snow height is almost reaching the top of my calves. And my dogs’ legs aren’t really visible. Perhaps I’ll feel better with a little more sleep I’m thankful & grateful for the bountiful start of snow season.
  13. Did I read correctly that this is ORD’s biggest single-day snowfall measurement since 11/21 of 2015?!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 00z GFS nearly a carbon copy of 18z in terms of snow amounts
  19. 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.
