    I think I actually used the shovel once this season. Broom every other time.

    Not much happened here overnight. The fickle nature of lake effect.
  3. TheRegionRat
    I'm kinda just patiently waiting my turn.

    Here in EC, it looks better on radar than on the ground. Had a burst an hour ago, not much afterwards. Small flakes. I haven't shoveled, just swept the snow away. In places that it doesn't get swept away, I use a little curling technique with the broom.
  5. TheRegionRat
    I've swept away a couple of inches twice. Hoping that lake effect can get down the lake. Eventually it will, but it'll be swinging on through to its seasonal home well East of here.

    USA!!! USA!!!USA!!!

    A nice pixie dusting here.

    Well folks, when you're right 52% of the time....Smooth Jimmy Apollo. That bit cracked me up over 30 years ago and still gets me now.

    It's only -1 here in Hammond/East Chicago. I know what's coming.

    Going with 6" here. I'm wondering how that fresh snowpack will affect temperatures? I'm wondering if the forecasted lows are too high?

    Snowed really hard at work in Hammond. Started as a mix, dropped some sleet, then snow. Unsalted areas remain icy. The further south you went, the more snow. At home, I have less than inch. The US 30 corridor has 3 inches or so. While the squall moved through visibility was awful. It was tough going from around 8AM through 9:30 or so.

    Nice dusting here so far. Been snowing for over an hour. It was nice to get a good walk in while snow falls.
  13. TheRegionRat
    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.
  15. TheRegionRat
    Hoping to get the grass covered. Need three inches to get the job done.
  16. TheRegionRat
    I'm cautiously optimistic I'll see some lake effect. I doubt it's enough to cover the grass.
  17. TheRegionRat
    Thanks! Very much appreciated. I'm in East Chicago, just across the line, so I'm cautiously optimistic regarding the lake effect.
  18. 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?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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?
  23. TheRegionRat
    Snowing heavily here. Visibility is noticeably reduced.
  24. TheRegionRat
    I guess that's the follow up to my original question. Do the global models take into account the relatively warm lake waters?
  25. TheRegionRat
    After reading the KLOT AFD, are the Euro and 18Z GFS snow maps over-cooked?
