Cruelty helps me cope with the pain of watching them let that loss beat them 10 straight (soon to be 11) weeks in a row. Anywho, here’s the Euro’s snow band placement over the last 24 hours.

And as we’ve seen this football season, Chicago can’t stop a Hail Mary from being successful.

2024 Short/Medium Range Severe Weather Discussion
Sciascia replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
These increases in potential storm severity and potential tornado chances always make me nervous now that I live out in the middle of nowhere. I felt invincible living in Chicago based on the old “tall buildings” myth; but out here? Nerves are real having had a tornado touch down as close as 3 miles away last year. -
Heavy snow wording in the P&C in late March happens rare enough to be enjoyable, even though the idea of shoveling is less so.
-
Snowing pretty good here in Woodstock. It feels like forever since we’ve seen snow falling.
-
Hanging onto snow here. It had looked like another dry swing was coming through, but it’s been refilling with snow.
-
RAP as well.
-
Newest HRRR has another 5.5 - 6 inches or so for the Rockford/Boone County area thru 3am Saturday. ORD 2 inches.

Dry slot filling in. The longest drought in the history of…today’s storm is over. Let us continue jumping around like a bunch of delirious 10-year-olds. (That’s a Pat Hughes World Series winning radio call reference for those not in the know.)
-
Officially in dry slot. A shame seeing as NWS Chicago’s belief was that this was a prime time for 1in/hr in the Rockford area until 11am or so. Hope it fills in in relatively short order.

I’ve somehow forgotten: Was that big dry spot forecast on models?
-
I have the power to un-crunch & separate.
-
P&C total snow forecast is 2-4” overnight, 4-8” tomorrow, and 3-5” tomorrow night. If all of that verifies + the arctic air that follows, I’m pretty sure my husky will never come inside again.

EURO is telling the dreamers to dream.

First day?

The changes these storms make late in the modeling game is unfortunate. Hopefully the NW cheddar curtain areas have a chance for double digits. Don’t think I’ve had that since I moved out here from Chicago in early 2020.

You forgot option #3: Non Hi-res NAM:

06z EURO QPF map. In Januarys gone by, 2+ inches of precip at ORD in early January would be setting records. Sadly not the case anymore. Granted, it would still be like 16-17 inches of snow if it verifies. But wouldn’t break top 3 snowstorms.
-
Now I know. And knowing is half the battle.
-
Captain Obvious-level statement: Part of the “bad luck” with the ratios is the timing of it being yet another daylight storm. If this would strike overnight, we could probably actually use 10:1 maps.

This one’s hitting the shore tomorrow?
