Given the WWA’s immediately to my north in Wisconsin’s border counties, I’m expecting to lose my “storm watch” status for an advisory. But hopefully anyone here in “Chicagoland” does well.
Busting high on a prediction, in Price is Right terms, means you overbid. So if Alek gets 4 inches when he predicted 4.5, he busted high. If he gets 5 when he predicted 4.5, then he’ll bust low.
We’ll get you an 18” cylinder that sits in dry ice so that not a flake is lost in the measuring.
Seriously though, possibly super-obvious-answer question: What is the process for measuring snow at ORD? Is there a area specifically designated for it?
I’m currently at home in Poplar Grove, a little less than 10 miles east of I-39. If/when it starts ripping later, I’ll see what kind of pics I can grab.
It hasn’t been in the same area every time. But GFS has been spinning up something fierce for the 18th in the last few runs (not counting 12z currently).
EDIT: Basically neutered on the 12z. I shouldn’t have said anything.
A few days late & a dollar short, but after leaving my phone in an Uber on Monday evening (got it back today), I couldn’t post a handful more pictures that my family sent me from Monday & Tuesday.
