    That burst at 6AM did stick on grass and resulted in slush on streets. I think I'm a bit too close to the lake. In this neck of the woods, around US 30 looks to be the sweet spot.

    I'm just really hoping that between now and Saturday night, my grass is solidly covered in snow.
  3. TheRegionRat
    Hoping to get the grass covered. Need three inches to get the job done.
  4. TheRegionRat
    I'm cautiously optimistic I'll see some lake effect. I doubt it's enough to cover the grass.
  5. TheRegionRat
    Thanks! Very much appreciated. I'm in East Chicago, just across the line, so I'm cautiously optimistic regarding the lake effect.
  6. TheRegionRat
    Are there any reliable CAMS that can be used to forecast the lake effect on Friday? It seems like all of the American suite are poorly regarded. It's two days out, so this is probably far too early to get into those specifics.

    When did O'Hare dip below zero, Saturday night or Sunday morning? I think the record is 100 consecutive hours below zero? I think that's safe. If it doesn't get above zero there today, is 60 hours reasonable?
  8. TheRegionRat
    Drizzling here now. I'm at work, in Hammond, around three miles south of home. That aside, it looks like the party is over in these parts, until the snow ramps up again this afternoon/evening. Easily four inches on the ground, perhaps a bit more.
  9. TheRegionRat
    My only resource for the changeover is the somewhat maligned HRRR. The latest run indicates several hours of snow before the rain moves in. Do other CAMs indicate differently? The scenario currently unfolding looks to be more than a nuisance.
  10. TheRegionRat
    Any chance the rain\snow line remains south of Route 30? Or the rain only lasts a couple of hours as opposed to four or more hours as modeled?
  11. TheRegionRat
    Snowing heavily here. Visibility is noticeably reduced.
  12. TheRegionRat
    I guess that's the follow up to my original question. Do the global models take into account the relatively warm lake waters?
  13. TheRegionRat
    After reading the KLOT AFD, are the Euro and 18Z GFS snow maps over-cooked?
  14. TheRegionRat
    Nope. The grass wasn't covered. I'm hoping the warm lake effects are quickly overcome by cold and snow this time around.
  15. TheRegionRat
    I don't recall my lawn being snow-covered last winter, and it's yet to happen this winter. I'll start there. Snow enough to cover the grass.
  16. TheRegionRat
    Only snow I received yesterday was the early AM burst. Nothing after that.
  17. TheRegionRat
    Still raining here.
  18. TheRegionRat
    Meanwhile, here in the Banana Belt on the southern tip of the lake, the is unabated.
  19. TheRegionRat
    Slush on the sidewalks. A little snow on the grass. Raining now.
  20. TheRegionRat
    Well, my expectations have been low, and at least I won't be disappointed. Maybe I'll see the high end, and get enough snow to briefly cover the grass, before the rain washes it away. Maye the backside snows cover some of the grass???
  21. TheRegionRat
    Rockford is probably close to normal snowfall for the season.
  22. TheRegionRat
    Thanks. Not as unusual as I thought.
  23. TheRegionRat
    Had ORD reached 60 degrees this month? If it hasn't and doesn't, how unusual would that be?
  24. TheRegionRat
    Snowing in Hammond, Indiana. Not sticking yet.
  25. TheRegionRat
    I've been waiting for your patented, "south, weaker, drier" statement that deflates the mood..lol...
