Euro with a wide swath of 6”+ from Chicago & points SE (majority 10 inch totals in Indiana). Oddly enough, is the first 0z run I’ve seen tonight without a strong western LM lake signal.
Or, I should say, no wacky weenie results.
Almost all 0z models so far highlighting a strong LE signal for western Lake Michigan. Not all heaviest amounts are onshore, though. So like all lake effect scenarios, a wait & see approach.
So what you’re saying is I’ll likely have to prepare for Metra delays coming from Boone County to Jefferson Park on Saturday evening?
The snow loving part of me is all reading those thoughts, though.
Nice to read (and hear from family) about the good snows around the city of Chicago. I’m home on vacation in Poplar Grove, where it’s been mostly smaller type flakes off & on.
Anyone know the current ORD snow total for Feb? Gotta already be one of the snowiest months in a few seasons, I would think.
I look forward to it! Still dancing between a light & a moderate. But winds have kicked up a lot.
Edit: Getting heavier. Visibility down Harlem Ave is dropping.
Either the warm tongue and/or Lake Michigan has screwed you around a bit for recent snow events from becoming great. So I’m happy that it’s worked out for you guys.
Thanks for the updates. Maybe HRRR wasn’t completely off it’s rocker this time for the lake effect potential. At least for SE WI; as NE IL yet to be fully realized.
