  1. Final even snowfall total of 2.9" at ORD. The seasonal snowfall total is up to 13.0".
  2. Cedar Rapids reports all between 7-9"... Hawkeye rejoice.
  3. This second round of forcing is moving through fairly quickly, but there is some nice banding. Currently +SN 1/4SM here at ORD.
  4. Event total of 1.5" here at ORD thus far.
  5. The issue is more-so aloft. Checking it out under the hood at 500mb tells the story, in which we are dealing with a strung out wave. As mentioned earlier, that is a good thing in this case. A fully consolidated and potent wave, which phases, would likely mean a rainer for most.
  6. It's pouring tiny flakes here at ORD.
  7. Quick look at WV imagery shows the next round will be getting going shortly, as better forcing and the main jet streak translate through.
  8. Kind of a badly worded graphic there by LOT. That is neither a dry slot nor dry air. There is a gap between better forcing. We've seen the first round of better forcing translate through over the past few hours, and we'll have another round later.
  9. It’s down until further notice. Big tech issues.
  10. with this one, you don’t want too many improvements at h5, otherwise it turns into a mostly rainer for most. strung out will be beneficial. you could overlap with a several inch lead thump, followed up by a several inch main hit.
  11. half of the time i just type and don’t even look before hitting send. so, who knows what I actually put to switch to that.
  12. autocorrect killed that one. it IS an inspiring look. some very obvious similarities to the current setup, but also some glaring differences as well.
  13. i'm always lurking in the shadows.
  14. it's a shame that this large-scale set-up is gonna go to waste. all of the pieces were in place, but smaller scale alignment of one or two things will be preventing the goods.
  15. Last 6”+ event: Jan 12-13th, 2024. (6.7”) Last 8”+ event: Jan 30-31st, 2021. (10.8”)
  16. definitely not. at least not yet…
  17. A glaze of ice accumulation and 0.1” of snowfall accumulation at ORD yesterday. That 0.1” of snow was enough to push the seasonal snowfall total up to 10.0”.
