  1. horrid decision making. that makes all too much sense.
  2. Cold front passed through the area earlier this afternoon, with (convective) rain showers accompanying it, which helped to transport higher winds down to the surface. Peak wind gusts of 48MPH at ORD, 52MPH at MDW, and 41MPH at RFD.
  3. Solid sunset a short time ago at ORD…
  4. yes, you have proven your criteria and expectations are outlandish.
  5. 6-9” is a big snow, statistically speaking. whatever parallel universe you and beavis live in must be one hell of a place. -2 for using hoss twice.
  6. we don’t? you may want to inform central illinois that their 6-9” on saturday was a mirage.
  7. we thank you for participating in this 2.5 week stretch of winter. we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
  8. Low temperatures last night/this morning... -6 RFD -2 ORD -1 MDW Peak wind chills last night/this morning... -23 RFD -21 ORD -21 MDW
  9. I officially brought the snow depth down to 0" this evening at ORD (Really its a T, but we don't report that). We've been barely hanging on to 1" for a day or two now, but there's just too much grass showing all-around to keep that fantasy going any longer.
  10. they will, cause right now they’re not enthused.
  11. I’m not saying that it will happen, but there is a way for the weekend clipper to end up north, even with the current clipper ending up well south.
  12. ORD picked up 0.1" of snow from the weak duster clipper on Monday night and then another 0.1" of snow this morning with the back-wash from most recent hybrid-clipper the past two days. Picked up 0.1" of snow at home with each as well.…2025/26 Season Snowfall...18.0" - RFD17.3" - ORD16.4" - Home
  13. the cams ended up caving, as did the globals. in the end a split scenario was what occurred. (not to say that will be the case this go-around, though)
  14. "mild" ground temps + dp's above 32 + temps above 32 + windy + rain = rapid melt. also, if one has been looking at the pattern ahead, they would know a white christmas was never a guarantee.
  15. we saw this exact scenario with the event last weekend.
  16. poor take, they definitelywere not dusters.
  17. Sort of a chain reaction effect, with short term changes with the current trough in part leading to the changes for the clippers.
  18. Squall potential faded away about a day ago, and the associated winds as well. Very poor handling in the short term by guidance.
  19. The WI and MI crew should thread up that Tues/Wed clipper. It’s worthy, I’d say.
  20. I have to check the exact number, but Winthrop Harbor is already at ~35" of snow on the season.
