    I don't think you quite grasp how things work. Think it's time you move up with Bo.

    You realize thaws happen pretty much every winter, right? Combo of historic cold, Nov blizzard, Feb ice storm, Feb high wind event and several headline snows...makes this an easy A winter.
  3. Chicago Storm
    It's still a guaranteed rainer for IL, minus backside flurries.
  4. Chicago Storm
    0.2" of snow at ORD and 0.1" here this morning.
  5. Chicago Storm
    Pretty sure this is for the second system (weekend), which is a rainer for all but far NW sub-forum. .
  6. Chicago Storm
    ORD had a peak gust of 61mph around 3:30.
  7. Chicago Storm
    Widespread reports and pics coming in of tree and structural damage across the area. This is pretty much on the level of a moderate to strong tropical storm...Given sustained winds and gusts, duration, and damage. .

    Widespread gusts of 55-65mph across C. Illinois. .
  11. Chicago Storm
    SPI recently gusted to 61mph. .

    Luckily SPC adjusted back north again, though still not far enough north. They honestly have been lost ever since the SPC-WRF was discontinued, which they clearly heavily relied on. .

    I wouldn't say unrealistic. What they are showing is really no different than what you see in a bombing East Coast storm.
  14. Chicago Storm
    0.2” snow at ORD. 0.3” snow and a glaze of ice here. .
  15. Chicago Storm
    Gonna cut this back to a DAB to 2" area wide.
  16. Chicago Storm
    Looks like a 1-3" event for much of the LOT CWA.
  17. Chicago Storm
    Based on CoCoRaHs reports, looks I like ended up with 5-6” at home with this event. ORD finished with 4.3” .
  18. Chicago Storm
    I haven’t been home for this event, but guessing somewhere between 2-4” down so far, based on surrounding reports. Looks like it has been mostly a -SN event, but with bursts of SN to nearly + SN at times this morning and then again this evening. .
  19. Chicago Storm
    Looking more likely a 2-5” event across the area now. Lake enhancement likely as well. .
  20. Chicago Storm
    Looking like a 1-4" event across the area.

    Light trolling can't be taken by some. Noted. Some must have forgotten how it was in the forum glory days. I honestly can't recall the last time I started a thread, so I looked it up... July 2017.

    The OP FV3 will be run 4 times a day, exactly like the current OP GFS. The main change is that the OP FV3 will be run at 13km for the entire 384hr run, where the current OP GFS is 13km to 240hr and then 27km from 240-384hr. The FV3 will also have a 3km nest run at 0z/12z out to 120hrs, which will replace the NAM eventually.
  23. Chicago Storm
    Feb. 1st is always that point for me.
  24. Chicago Storm
    Correct. The FV3 will become OP and replace the current GFS on that March 20th date, as long as it passes the upcoming 30 day final testing period.
  25. Chicago Storm
    FV operational launch set for March 20th, pending a successful 30 day test period. Cross your fingers the test fails. .
