December isn’t going to be wall to wall mild. Anyone with that idea might as well give up on it now. .

Get into contact with Brett Adair of Live Storms Media on Facebook, or I believe his number is on their website as well. He could set you up quickly temporarily. Everyone else is making $ off of video like that right now, so why not you too. .

nice opportunity to makes some $, so hopefully not. .

Some of the videos from the heart of the band are about as good as it gets. .

Snow showers/squalls in the area much of the afternoon/evening today, but much of it missed ORD and home. .

The goods are approaching the Buffalo area. A lot of convective snow right now over Lake Erie, with a lot of lightning.

Created a LES thread for the season...

So it isn't spread out between countless other threads.

Additional periods of -SN today, but it didn't amount to anything with temps in the mid 30's and poor rates. Final event total stands at 1.0" here at ORD.

As alluded to in my previous post, the final 1/3rd of November looks interesting to watch regarding how things evolve as a whole. We will see the current -EPO and NAO/AO flux pattern that is bringing the more widespread snow chances and consistent cold break down. The MJO is still expected to move through phases 5-6-7 to finish out the month, which would suggest a return to mild conditions. However, continued SPV relocation in the vicinity of portions of Northern Canada, Greenland and the Canadian Arctic suggests it likely shouldn't be wall to wall mild. This sort of pattern for the final 1/3rd of the month should continue to remain fairly active across the region and CONUS, with the potential for up/down mild/cool temperatures. While it's not a great snow pattern for a good portion of the sub-forum, I would watch the potential for a thread the needle type system during this period. Outside of that, the northern portion of the sub-forum will be most favored for any other snow chances.

IDOT traffic cams showing accumulation on all surfaces. Looks like at least 1" on some of the cams.

Event and day total of 1.0" here at ORD, so far at least. Snow started early this morning and accumulated efficiently until a bit after sunrise. After that, snow continued through the morning and into the midday, but as 'white rain'. The early morning snowfall accumulation on the ground melted by early afternoon. Much of the afternoon featured -RA, before transitioning to -RA/SN this evening, and now finally back to -SN.

Ah, that's a good one I missed. I'd say 9/12-15/2008, with the tropical remnants. Easily the worst flooding I had seen around home with that one. Kind of a situation where places flooded that you didn't think could flood, or at least couldn't to the extent that they did.

i'm still trying to figure out when we have been cold and dry so far.

I don’t know, I’d say everything has gone about as I expected at least… Dusting to 2” area wide, locally higher. ORD is around 1” for the event. .

LES potential continues to trend downward on a lot of guidance (Not including the HRRR mirage that faded). .
