Solid SN the past two hours, with +SN more recently here. .

3.1” here so far. .

1.5” ORD and 4.2” MDW as of 6AM. .

1.3” here as of 15min ago. .

Barely any returns over DPA area right now. Very sharp cutoff between there and ORD right now.

the special ohio thread sounds right up your alley.

Widespread 1-3" reports in NE MO and W IL so far.

Snow has started here at home and at ORD.

Likely will mostly miss south of here, unless there's some drastic changes. Along/south of I-80 in the LOT CWA still has some potential, though.

Things are still blossoming in MO. So likely will have a handle on that within the next few hours.

The HRRR LES is unrealistic.

Surprising, given as of now it doesn't appear as though the criteria will be met.

wet and warm ground, gonna munch the first 10".

Big bump NW in line with some of the other guidance.

Near-term Euro cave job for the overrunning event with the 18z run.

WEA were triggered for this, which is comical.

you'll survive either way.

i think he meant me making the thread. when i made part 2, things faded up here. obviously many other events have had plenty of part # threads.

we've been doing that around here since the olden days.

everything has always gone in one around here.
