Radar still looks pretty nice. I love it when it snows (at any intensity) all day long.
-
My 9.9” call is going to either be close to on the $$$ or bust low by an inch or so.
-
Me, after shoveling but seeing there’s more on the way:

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.
-
Likely overdone, but newest HRRR calling for 8 more inches of snow to fall at ORD between now & 4pm tomorrow.
-
Whoa. Already 7 inches down at ORD?
-

Currently in Harwood Heights. Went outside a little after 3 to grab something for work & nice to see it already snowing. Going to ride my 2 days ago call of 9.9” at ORD, but I think I’ll be a touch low.

Alek’s got some winter pot holes he’s looking forward to filling with all this cement coming.
-
Current GFS on top, GFS-Elect on bottom.
-
This ain’t no WxBell Kuchera map, neither.
-
GFS-Elect seems to also have the earlier precip onset that the HRRR had for N IL. Where forecasts have projected a close-to-6pm start time, this has almost 3 inches on the ground come 6pm.
-
Ah. Well then we’ve just got good Mets that work in our area.

I’m going to assume @RCNYILWX was part of the Q&A that the NWS Chicago Twitter page had tonight. Looking through, some good, fair, and well rounded answers for 240 characters. For anyone who wishes to read through:
-
Thank you; and come on...what’s wrong with letting people think they’ll get almost 2 feet of snow?
-
Anyone have the 18z Euro?
-
Yeah, my P&C just changed as well. Went from 6-10 Sat night to 4-8. Maybe they’ve got info we don’t?
-
The P&C for Elmwood Park is 6-10” for Saturday alone, with 90% snow listed for Sunday & 50% Sunday night. So 8-12” seems with what they’re kinda leaning towards outside of the warning text. I agree it is a bit of an oversight to be pushing two separate low-max levels.
-
P&C in for Elmwood Park where I will be over the weekend. Interesting they haven’t thrown any numbers onto the Sunday snow yet.
-
I’m supposed to work until 7pm Saturday. May be a tricky ride home if it’s going to be a wall of snow at onset.
-
12z HRRR likely doing it’s thing of overdoing lake-adjacent amounts. But would be incredible to see downtown Chicago rack up a foot of snow by 6am.
-
6z HRRR has this happening between 6pm Sat & Midnight Sat night/Sun:
-
06z NAM kinda drier in terms of snowfall amounts over N IL. It backed off 1 inch 18z to 00z, and now another inch or so from 00z to 6z. Here’s Chicago’s Kuchera (Pivotal) NAM snow amounts since 12z yesterday: 12z: 12.8 18z: 11.5 0z: 10.4 6z: 9.6
-
6pm seems to be locked as the start time in N/NE Illinois.
