Chicago Storm

Forgot about this one from several days ago, dusted by WAA snows, with 0.5" at ORD... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 32.1" - ORD 24.0" - RFD Just shy of having the most snow in a season at ORD since 2021/22, and on pace to rank as the 3rd snowiest seasons since the back-to-back big snow seasons of 2013/14 and 2014/15.

the next window of opportunity is nearing for the sub-forum. we enter this window beginning mid-next week. some places are going to do really well in this pattern. who will it be? msp, grb, mke, ord, dtw?

don’t mind him. he only pops up when there’s going to be a torch.

*false spring.

counterpoint: it’s not.

nice knowing you, hoss.

Yep... Patience.

Dusted with the clipper this morning, with 0.3" at ORD... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 31.6" - ORD 24.0" - RFD

sounds like you should shack up with beavis up north.

Looks like there was TSSN downtown around 4:40AM.

The clipper diving through the region later tonight on into tomorrow looks interesting. Looking at soundings, snow should be convective, and I wouldn't rule out TSSN.

i’ve enjoyed it.

where’s the doom and gloom squad after the 0z runs?

there is no pessimism on this end.

still waiting on that to show up and work out for them. at least the carolinas cashed in.

ya’ll are fun to watch.

yea, that really inflates things now. i was looking back at ghd1 and ghd2 recently. neither had a single shift over 20 speci.

Aircraft induced snowfall stat-padding yesterday, with 0.1" at ORD... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 31.3" - ORD 24.0" - RFD

that dude/page is literally the worst thing out there, by far.

solid. that 27 by the swo a week or so ago is the highest anyone can recall for here.

billy madison accomplished that feat a week or so ago. i had 25 and the swo had 27.

it seems to be within the realm of possibility.

precision is the name of the game on this end. sadly, i’ve never eclipsed 3” of snow on a given shift.

an excerpt from this mornings lot afd. this is the same guy that went deep weenie the one shift prior to the nov les event. what he mentioned in the below afd is flat out dumb to say, especially since it’s simply not true. it seems very clear that she should not be in the position of work that he is in. in other words, not in an important nws roll. /rant “JUST HAVE TO NOTE... IF WE WEREN'T DEALING WITH DRY LOW-LEVEL AIR PROBLEMS THIS MORNING, THE AXIS OF 1 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE LIKE 6 TO 12 INCHES (IF NOT MORE) OF SNOW. THESE NARROW CONVECTIVE SNOW BAND EVENTS ARE THE WINTERTIME EQUIVALENT OF SUMMERTIME TRAINING THUNDERSTORM EVENTS, AND CAN JUST HAMMER THE SAME AREA ALL DAY/NIGHT LEADING TO VERY PRONOUNCED IMPACTS. SO, THANK YOU DRY AIR.”

ORD ended up with 2.6" of snow as a result of the LES event on Friday... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 31.2" - ORD 24.0" - RFD
