Dusted with 0.2" at ORD on Saturday evening...
…2025/26 Season Snowfall...
32.3" - ORD
24.0" - RFD -
most likely
I could imagine a hypothetical multi-prong, long duration event (overrunning/fgen, main slp/defo, and LES) that could get us into the upper 20s, each of those in isolation can hit 10 and stringing them together happens. Plus the atmosphere is only getting more juiced. 30+ almost certainly impossible tho
but in that setup, you likely would lose the big wind factor. -
been fortunate to go over 20 here a couple times as an adult here on the northside but it's rare air
30+ with 80 mph is tough and hard to imagine
realistically, ghd1 was pretty much the max for our region.-

Feels like it’s been the case for us in the western GL’s. Meanwhile, southern snows and coastal miller B’s are showing up at hour 300 and locking in.

there has been plenty of false signal all around, as there always is.-

Still a top 10 least snowy Feb…we’ll see if the Thursday system doesn’t go south.

We’re out of the top 10 now. -
Will take us until mid January 2027 to nickel and dime our way to these totals

Feel like that one gives off 0 or 6" of heavy wet snow vibes.

stop paying attention to run-to-run op guidance.
struggling hard in this pattern, so it’s useless.-

12z Euro has a potent snow event for a few Thursday night. I could see some flakes if it tracks far enough southeast.
Don't write this thing off for something more just yet...
Complex evolution overall.

Avoid the Euro weeklies if you like winter. The fat lady may be testing out her pipes.
actually, it's the opposite.
if you want winter to continue into spring, the euro weeklies are your friend.
