  1. Speaking of... Spann doing a terrible job today. Kept mentioning numerous times that storm would miss Tuscaloosa by a long shot, when in reality it had been running parallel to I-20 for quite a while.
  2. 1.8” at ORD, 1.6” at MDW and 2.0” at RFD. .
  3. KORD 151951Z 09014G22KT 1 1/2SM -SN BR BKN009 OVC017 M01/M03 A3009 RMK AO2 PK WND 09026/1904 SLP195 SNINCR 1/2 P0006 T10111028 2” depth means at least 1.5” from this event at ORD. .
  4. KORD 151851Z 09017G23KT 1/2SM R10L/2400V5500FT SN FZFG VV007 M02/M03 A3015 RMK AO2 SLP215 SNINCR 1/1 P0008 T10171033 .
  5. A combo of pea size graupel and 1” flakes right now in this bright band. About 1/8SM vis and gusting to about 40MPH. .
  6. Event is already going to be ending within an hour or so around here. .
  7. There have been a few instances of TSSN out towards the Lee/DeKalb Co border the past hour or so. .
  8. Went from nothing to solid SN and white ground here within about 15 minutes. .
  9. Indeed. 2” soil temp still in the upper 30’s here, and probably a bit higher down there...So I’d imagine any accretion is on elevated/colder surfaces. .
  10. Can see CC quickly crashing east on KLOT and SE a bit on ILX. Probably all snow to near I-39 now, north of I-80. .
  11. I’ve been pretty much think 1-3” for the CWA along and north of I-80. However, I fully agree that there is much more upside potential. If thermals work out as the GFS/RAP and others show, definitely could see an axis of 3-6”+ into the CWA. .
  12. With colder air not filtering in until right before things are getting going, there isn’t going to be sufficient time for the already mild surfaces/ground to catch up. Add in that’s it’s noting going to get colder than the upper 20’s most likely either. Maybeee elevated surfaces towards the end, but that’s a stretch depending on how long precip actually lasts.
  13. I'd just about totally discount the FZRA threat, and I'm not big on the sleet potential either. Probably will be a mostly snow or rain event.
  14. Un-Warned tor north of Shallowater, TX a bit ago... .
  15. Looks like the question isn’t if it’s going to snow Sun night-Mon, but how much... .
  16. Parts of the area had 50-60MPH wind gusts last night. Peaks were 60MPH at UGN and 55MPH at ORD. .
  17. 69 at ORD. Tied the record high for the date (1974). .
