  1. There hasn't been a NW trend with the current storm system in a while.
  2. Trend has been for SLP to track SE of there now.
  3. I think you may be thinking of a direct one. 12/26/2009 was the surprise snowstorm. Cold temps and very high ratios were featured. .
  4. In this case for NE IL/metro I mean more-so due to the R/S line and lake influence combination. It's going to be really interesting to see how they both pan out.
  5. Yea, can’t envision above 10:1+ ratios panning out for much of the duration of the storm. Can’t rule it out on the tail end though, as a bit of colder air tries to filter in. It’s really interesting so see some of these offices go with amounts that either mirror or even exceed Kuchera based amounts on most guidance. .
  6. This is gonna be one of those situations where you don't really have a full/total handle on how it's going to go until we're deep into it, for the metro/NE IL that is.
  7. our resident wisconsin palm aficionado is tth now. .
  8. A lot of noise on guidance over the past 24 hours. Most 0z guidance shifted a bit NW, and now most 12z guidance shifted bit SE.
  9. They pretty much are forced into using the NBM.
  10. Two weekend waves have nearly doubled seasonal snowfall totals at ORD, from 3.9" to 7.4". Friday night-Saturday morning wave snowfall totals... ORD - 1.9" MDW - 1.6" RFD - 1.3" Saturday night wave snowfall totals... ORD - 1.6" MDW - 0.5" RFD - 0.5"
  11. I’ve been at the point for years now that the only things that excite/interest me snowfall wise are big dogs (or at least medium dogs), record/near record occurrences, and abnormal/significant conditions. This one will be none of the aforementioned most likely, so overall interest is low. However, looks like a solid 2-5”/4-7” kind of situation from SE to NW across the area, with lower amounts near the lake and downtown. .
  12. Forgot to mention it at the time, but while downtown for NYE/NYD I noticed some trees were budding.
  13. The snow for tonight sort of came back from the dead, as it was shown a few days ago, before vanishing. Looks like a 1-3" type of situation for tonight into Saturday morning across the area.
  14. It had a run similar to the 0z a day or so ago as well.
  15. i don't know why they still waste their time with these. they're always so bad.
  16. I'll probably become more interested come Saturday, but until then it's a bit too early. There are a few players to watch that will factor into the evolution of this one, including what exactly happens with the lead weekend storm system.
