  1. Low temp of -10 at ORD this morning.
  2. Lake enhancement is doing work downtown. Looks like about SN 1/2SM on the EarthCam.
  3. I do think that it'll move further onshore. The main question more-so is how far onshore it'll move and how long it will take up residence in a particular area.
  4. Multiple meso-lows out over the over the lake. That southern one is potent.
  5. Lake enhancement is coming onshore in the immediate downtown area currently.
  6. the hrrr also says no snow till midnight or so. in reality, it's already about to start snowing, albeit light. it's struggling with the saturation progress.
  7. i'd prefer 97/75 and an evening bow echo, thanks.
  8. Low temp of -11 at ORD this morning. The daytime high temp was limited to -4, but the actual high for the day was 5 at midnight. The peak wind chill was -36.
  9. The whole thing is a shit show, quite honestly. I get what they are doing and why they are doing it. However, your new model system (RRFS/REFS) really should be much better than your old model system (NAM/SREF), which hasn't had an upgrade in many years.
  10. solid assessment, as always. are you still at cle?
  11. the run-to-run changes 'under the hood' aloft are fun to watch on any given model. see the nam 12z vs 18z, just as a recent example. really struggling to resolve things.
  12. that idea is already a bust, since all other guidance caved to the gfs.
  13. I've sat on this one for a while now, trying to decide. The only two options I could come up with were the blizzard of '99 and GHD1. The choice of GHD1 seems easy to me. I feel I'd be able to enjoy it more at this point in life, plus it was more significant in many aspects.
  14. didn't have you turning into beavis on my bingo card.
  15. where? there’s gonna be a foot of snow downstate. that’s not an east coast pattern.
  16. the show had been over up here, but surprised to see the gfs clean house to this degree.
  17. i have beach-front property to sell you in idaho. new/current home is in north aurora.
  18. even portions of the metro too. i'm closing in on 30" on the season at home. back at good ole ex-home, there's a few inches on the ground currently.
  19. it's more phased and put together out west (compared to all other guidance), as ejection of the southern wave occurs. likely classic nam shenanigans.
  20. ngl, it would be nice to have one last amped nam run verify, before it's decommissioned (likely in march). now is it's moment.
