Today's high of 76 in South Bend obliterated the daily record high of 71 set back in 1973.

FWIW, Branch Co. Sheriff's Office says three dead, 12 injured. Of those 12, three are in the hospital. Cass County Sheriff confirms one dead, several injured. We are hearing it was a child, but that is unconfirmed. Devastating day for SW Michigan. Saw this on Michigan Native Photography:

It's police scanner traffic so take it with a grain of salt, but a house may have just been hit with a tornado (or downburst) in Cass Co. MI.

Good deep rumbles from the storm just to my north. Spring is trying its hardest.

Very foggy again tonight. Visibility was about 1/5 of a mile during my dinner break.

Decent look for NE IL and N IN, too, for tomorrow evening on the HRRR.

It's hard to get a good March lake-effect event down here, but I think we could pull it off.

Miss west

Time is just a construct of man.

75” of snow that started in mid-November. Constant LES. Tundra-like feel at times. No ice storms. A well-timed torch in February with thunderstorms before more snow. Solid A. Would be A+ if we had one more good synoptic event.

55 Friday, 40 Saturday, 32 Sunday, with a snowstorm in Central IL/IN/OH. Tough miss. Bring on Spring and the mud.

South Bend picked up 9.2" from Sunday/Monday's lake effect snow event. That brings the seasonal total to 91.1". It is the 11th snowiest winter in South Bend history.

Congrats to me.

Seems on fair that winter would be bookended by two big snowstorms with CAD in between. (Save the LE areas obviously)

@Chicago Stormstarted the post-Thanksgiving thread, and it was a success. I think only he should start the one for the potential Sunday-Monday storm.

Sun is out now. 4.8” on the ground.

A reminder of what rippage looks like for y’all.

Tough look for my previous comments.

Just got home from a weekend out of town. Approaching 3” of lake effect in the backyard. The advance Travelers Advisory (might as well get used to it) meant the roads were pretreated and made for an easy drive from the Chicago burbs. It’s those 1-2” snows that are the worst.

Euro stinks. GFS is king.

GFS on an island last I checked but definitely the one I’m pulling for.

Advisory level lake event Sunday-Monday here. Final call: 3”

Whoa, optimistic!

To your point, lots of moving parts. Pretty active pattern, and as you've been saying, potential is there. Just need things to line up.

12z GFS says hold up, wait a minute.
