I'd take it

Massive precip shield for a (check that) 1005 mb SLP. Yeah, right GFS

Good times, the 300+ hours are

Lock it in.  It's the 18Z 380hrs out.  It's as good as gold......

Especially since we celebrate Christmas on the 24th... I'd pay money for this to happen. 

Watching from up in Illinois  Best of luck to you all, may the snow be ever in your favor. 

Right now it looks like we'll have a pretty active end of the month, unless I'm mistaken.

The 13th-15th system looks interesting. Too bad it's still this far out

I know I'm really not one to talk with my all-things-considered good start to the season, but the only thing I hope for is that it doesn't rain for Christmas. Don't care if it isn't white outside (I'd appreciate it, but let's be real here) but as long as it doesn't pour all day or some garbage, I'm happy. Any other day is fine, just not on Christmas.

00z GFS sort of lost the 3rd-4th storm but the GEM has it.

I know people don't really like the ICON too much but it's also brought the track of said storm down into northern/central Illinois (but also weaker)

I have to admit, though I'd love another big storm to affect the area (keeping in mind Sunday's storm only dropped roughly half as much as predicted IMBY- not that I'm complaining, just saying there's still room for improvement in future storms) right now, what I'd love the most is a really active clipper pattern where we get an inch or two of light snow every other day for like a week straight. Last time we really had something like that going, if I recall correctly, was back in 2013-2014- at least for any extended period of time. 

Big blizzards are exciting to forecast, but there's something beautiful about a clipper pattern... It's so much more relaxed, so much more room for error.

It did load but it has no storm for the 4th or 5th.

Oof. Thanks

So... any luck with the Euro? If so, what does it have to say about the 4th (Just for fun, obviously this a while out still)?

Huh.

Looking outside, you can still see the outline of the sidewalk and all. We have at least four inches of snow on the ground, but I swear way more than that must have fallen already. Need to look around tomorrow, but I imagine it's drifting about quite a bit. 

My friend down the road lost power a little bit ago

About 3" here in Aurora, and it's going hard as ever. I think we can rake up a lot more at this rate

Aurora's daily snowfall records are: 11/25: 3.4", 2004; 11/26: 3.0", 1940. At least one of them should fall.

The biggest November snowfall is probably out of reach. On 11/5/1896 12.0" snow was measured.

Thanks for that ^

Ah well, can't hurt to aim big at this point

I think 9 inches is a reasonable total to hope for in Aurora. Exceeding that three-inch mark is proving easy

Got almost and inch in like twenty minutes. This is pretty crazy.

As if on cue, it starts snowing.

Hope you get snow soon, I am sure you will

Thanks for the cheerful words lol. I'm anxious but I've got nothing to fear, the changeover has been predicted to occur around now for hours. It's not like I'm behind schedule lol. It'll be a fun night once it gets going.

It looks like we're right on the line on radar, but it's just pouring rain out here man 

Waiting for the change over.... Any day now

About to start ripoing here in Aurora...

Snowing in Aurora very lightly

6 o'clock... I bide my time.
