Overperformer here in my head, wasn't expecting a whole ton but we'll probably have well over half an inch by late afternoon

Papa Euro is just trying to get us ready for snowstorm season

Amazing discussion from LOT this afternoon

Pingers and an absolute deluge here right now

Now we just need to shit out an "acceptable climo" winter sometime

Warning back up to 80mph around Plainfield, where I am TN. Hoping for a show. Winds are already wild.

Quite the lightning show out there it's like near non stop

You guys see that hook?

What did I say about supercell-esque updraft that shit literally exploded overhead

I think I'm just baked but this little DuPage cell has some supercell-esque updraft presentation in person, I wish I could get a picture of the entire thing but I'm too close.

Walking the dog and watching this little Batavia cell organize. It's actually really neat to see in person and on radar

Honestly if I had people to do it with that I could actually trust I would do it. Sounds like a fucking stellar time.

One day I'll pay you to pick me up and chase while I glaze over in the passenger seat

I'm pretty sure Bob the family man who hasn't touched weed in a decade and a half and would probably get placeboed by Lawn Clippings OG would be more than satisfied with even the lower echelons of Michigan prerolls. Every time I go to the dunes I drop in because a big ass joint for $10-15 is really not all that bad for the convenience. It's Illinois where they fuck you in the ass

Looks like round one is barreling this way already

That's absolutely boss though. It was a little over seventy at Warren Dunes last week if I remember right. Gonna have to go again soon.

No way

Good one, added straight to the registry of oddly specific humourous phrases

Obv I know fuck all about how the atmosphere actually works but if I were a farmer in the 30s I would 100% be keeping an eye on the sky for later. Was sweating like a hooker in church out there today.

Line looking decent as it scuttles east? Dusk lightning show time?

Was not expecting clear blue skies today. Hopefully we can get some action before sunset

Yesterday was a very interesting impromptu chase for me. Expectations were very low of course since the last chase I went on I accidentally zero metered, and I had every intention of playing it cool. First I copied our esteemed homie @CheeselandSkiesand drove NW an hour to Davis Junction -to the complex that eventually produced the DuPage county naders. I bailed on it after 45 to head home/see if I could catch one of the southern storms (if more developed). The entire drive back on 88 I was moving parallel to initial target storm, and I kept fighting to ignore the feeling that it looked like it might start doing things soon. Then, just a few miles before my exit the Elgin area got warned. It was impressive how similar the velocity signature on that farther north storm looked to the one that I had been watching so, despite having to pee like a motherfucker, I blasted north on Kirk. I think I had just seen the remnants of the bigger tornado that people had filmed -including @CheeselandSkies- when I realized that a third area of sketchy velocity readings was developing directly NW of me. I pulled over and let it pass ahead and then tried to get behind it. Obviously traffic was dog shit so I couldn't actually keep up per se but I did manage a glimpse at what looked like a wall cloud with a little rotating rope off to the side. Called it after that because I simply couldn't keep up and my bladder was about to explode.

The fact that that's over my house while I'm 50 minutes NW is actually astounding

Just arrived. Thoughts?
