I think the biggest parallel it has to GHD I is that (if I’m remembering correctly) it’s been showing a major (8+ inches) snow system over the region 7-8 days out from the start. Obviously, we have days to go before the consistency can be fully judged. But if so, would be like GHD I in a modeling perspective.

Downtown Chicago has numbers in double digits for every one of those runs. And ORD in all but one.

Snow continues to fly here in Poplar Grove. All the blowing & drifting makes it “fun” for me when taking my dogs outside. Some spots barely cover my shoes, while other areas are shin deep. Although my car that’s parked outside barely has any snow on it.

LOT’s updated take:
-
Heavy snow currently. Best of the event so far.
-
Just had my dogs out. I’d say snow is falling moderately, but the wind is a pain in the ass.
-
Been a very light mood snow falling in Boone county for about an hour. Hopefully it’ll pick up a bit shortly. The dry holes out west from an hour ago seem to be filling in.
-
Doesn’t look like I’ll break 3 inches out here. But I’m pulling for Cook to do well with LES.

Happy New Year to all. Here’s to hoping for an overperformer, but expecting lesser amounts!
-
NAM is coming in…*shakes dice* *Throws dice* Drier! 00z: 18z:
-
He’s waiting for Mark Giangreco & Janet Davies to ring in the New Year. I’ll be watching Cheryl Scott’s fine behind. Anywho, snow!
-
They may not always hit on their assessments, but LOT does a great job when it comes to informing everyone about how they think a storm will unfold.
-
Congrats @Hoosier! Much to my surprise, Boone County got one too. Doesn’t mean I’ll get more snow, but pink on the weather map always looks better than purple.
-
I wouldn’t immediately discredit the LES shown on the hi-res models. Different circumstances, but they did pretty well with the Chicago LES storm last February.
-
Ah, good to know my geographical neighbor. Thanks
-
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.

The Canadian model gives Alek almost a foot and a half in 24hrs

Strictly for viewing, not necessarily for believing.

Here comes the beginning of the 00z run parade
-
18z Euro should be interesting after the deflating balloon that was 12z.
-
Riding the RAP for major snowfall 42hrs out is not the position I want to be in. Yet here I am!
-
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?
