    8.7" here at home as of midnight.
  2. Chicago Storm
    8.4" at ORD as of midnight. 8.0" at RFD. This snowstorm is now tied for the 5th largest on record in November for Chicago.
  3. Chicago Storm
    Snowfall total is up to 8.4" here at home, with snow tapering to flurries. We'll see if the snow out west in the DVN CWA rotates east to tack on more or not.

    This is correct. The 6.9" of snow at ORD as of 6PM this evening means today has featured the largest calendar day snowfall since 7.0" fell on Nov 21st, 2015. ORD is beyond that 6.9" total now for today, which means whatever the final snowfall total is today, today will feature the greatest calendar day snowfall since 16.2" on Feb 1st, 2015 (GHD2).

    That map will change significantly. 6” report in BMI and 7.7” near PIA.
  6. Chicago Storm
    6.9” at ORD through 6PM. 6.0” at RFD.

    look west (if it survives)…

    A ton of convection across Central Illinois the past couple of hours, with a lot of lightning and TSSN. There have been several associated pockets of subsidence out and about across the area, one of which has been hanging on around here for a while now. Sitting 5.6" here at home thus far, and sniffing an under-performer.

    Lake enhancement showing up all along the WI shoreline. It might work in a negative way though, with surface temps running a bit higher and snowfall ratios likely a bit lower as well.
  12. Chicago Storm
    If things continue to pan out as they have thus far, ORD is on track to have a top 5 November snowstorm on record.

    3.4” storm total here at home thus far.
  16. Chicago Storm
    1"/hour snowfall rates here at home currently.
  17. Chicago Storm
    Already snowing here at home, with the ground dusted.
  18. Chicago Storm
    Has to do with placement/handling of heavier and more convective precip, not actual drying per-se.
  19. Chicago Storm
    I don't think it will be high end around our area (probably no widespread 12"+ totals that is, unless ratios surprise, which seems doubtful at this time). The metro region as a whole will likely see a general 6-10" overall (locally higher), though. Highest totals will likely be western areas, with the overall setup peaking west and slowly dampening out as it heads east.

    bah, let them play. snow football is the best football, and it definitely was as a kid.
  21. Chicago Storm
    understatement.
  22. Chicago Storm
    pretenders. signed, a lowly falcons fan.
  23. Chicago Storm
    this whole thing is essentially waa.
  24. Chicago Storm
    This is a very good and valid point.
  25. Chicago Storm
    Today’s trend has been to reverse yesterday’s trend. Yesterday’s we saw guidance come in less phased, less amped and flatter with the main wave…thus, weaker, south and drier. Today’s trend reversed all of that.
