  1. 84hr NAM (lol) but sharing as it’s reaching range. Run ends when snow is continuing to fall.
  2. I’ve been sidelined from work since November 6th dealing with a lower back injury. Things are looking good that I’ll be cleared tomorrow to go back to work on 12/1. So, of course, a potential winter storm may dump a foot right before I go back & my 20 year old Explorer is immediately put to the test.
  3. Flakes in Poplar Grove. I won’t be in on the lake effect fun, but the first snow of the season is always enjoyable.
  4. Looks like the lull period will include the Bears game, which is a shame.
  5. A trained spotter measured 4.5 inches in Capron, IL (super close to me) at 8:13am. I’m going to guess that easily jumped over 5, maybe even 6 if they can chime in again later. If it hit 6 inches, that would be the top event of the season.
  6. I am around 23 miles northeast of RFD, and 10 or so miles away from the IL/WI border. RFD, as of a little over an hour ago, picked up 3.1 inches from the snow band.
  7. Appreciated. It was 80 degrees here around 3pm Friday. To go from that to this in about 40 hours is that late 90s/early 00s climate I remember growing up with.
  8. I’m going to be on the road at 10pm Friday. That orange blob inching closer to the cheddar curtain hopefully stays back.
  9. Feels like it’s been 2-3 straight winter seasons of them overall. Storm on models for multiple days, showing 6+ as late as 24hrs before the event, and then only ends up being a 1-2 inch pixie duster.
  10. Me, jumping on the forum for the first time in 4 hours looking for happy IL peeps: (Looking like a good one for Michigan)
  11. The boom/bust potential being legit at both ends for the NE-IL area makes me not envy any of those mets.
  12. GFS painting 5-6” at the cheddar curtain on the 10:1 maps.
  13. I’m in the minority in Illinois but I’ve enjoyed the event so far from northern Boone county. 8:30-10am and currently are the heaviest it’s been, but the dry slot is creeping up. I don’t measure, so nothing official; but based solely on what I had to walk in with my dogs, seems like there’s more on the ground than what’s reported in Rockford.
  14. Much like it was on the models, snow began in Poplar Grove around 8am.
  15. When your parents popped into your room, you had to minimize that GFS page so fast!
  16. Pfft, easy. Free, untimed field goal kick because our fair catch was interfered with. Then we recover the onside kick, and throw a touchdown to tie it. 0z NAM (standard model) precip & snow swath south of 18z.
