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???
RC wrote the LOT update around 11AM CST. Quoting here:
We`ll see if the
ECMWF suite rolling out around the top of the hour can help bring
some clarity.
Pleasantly surprised to see that LOT had 1-3 overnight and another 1-3 during the day. Overnight was definitely a lot closer to the one inch total than the three inches. We'll see how the day turns out. If the grass is solidly covered, I'll be happy.
Thanks. I remember that 1983 spell quite well. It followed the El Nino driven Christmas of 1982. Every Christmas Eve we'd walk a few houses down for Wigilia(Polish Christmas Eve dinner). First time I can recall being flash frozen. I was 14.
I agree with this. This past set looked great on paper for a few hours. In retrospect a bit more snow would have been nice, but getting buried would have been even colder.
A question for the sharpies. It was below zero all day December 23. How often does that happen at O'Hare? Seems somewhat rare.
