  1. Nothing legit till globals show it on Sunday
  2. Yeah saw Antioch had whitened up. We have a little snow falling now but that area will shift west of us to the areas you mentioned. This time Lake Michigan isn't the best climo
  3. Yeah the differences the last few winters are stark. I will look at RFD numbers also just to remove LES and enhancement totals that ORD and MDW receive. Gives a better idea about general synoptic snow activity across Northern IL in a given winter. Not a huge stats guy but have to guess there is a substantial difference in numbers over the years between DFW and RFD. As for Lake Michigan enhancement, synoptic snow systems have been in short supply here the last few years.
  4. The fact you have had only one winter in 29 yrs of snow records that was 25.5" or less is interesting. You either are getting lucky or your area receives some decent LES contributions. I looked up the Barrington snow records in the NW burbs which is pretty much devoid of LES and they have registered four winters with less than 25.5" since 2011. Should be about as far north as your locale. 2012(22.8"),2017(22.1"),2022(19.7"), 2023(21.5") Even 2016 barely cleared the threshold at 26.3"
  5. Could make a run at <25" seasonal snowfall for a third year in a row.
  6. Have to adapt. Nothing says Xmas like firepit, Xmas lights, and a Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned.
  7. Initial thread to RIP in 30hrs. But not close to one of the great model collapses.
  8. Figure our chance for a big winter slid by just to the NW last year. From ORD (20.2"),RFD(35.1"),MSN(71.8") to MSP(90"). Steep gradient with storm track favorable to Great Lakes during the windows of opportunity. This year think when wintry windows appear(Jan-Feb)it will come with a -NAO favoring a track from lower OV to mid Atlantic and up the coast. Will keep tabs on the dusters to see how they stack up.
  9. Grass duster part 3. Halloween, Nov.25th-26th and now today. Tis the stuff seasonal totals are made of.
  10. May help the forums and perhaps bring in more posters if we had a strong winter for this region. It's been awhile since 2013-14, 2007-08, GHD1 and 2. Too much thread the needle with no widespread arctic air to tap and lack of phased storms. Not to mention the recent Decembers.
  11. Let the 14 weeks of winter(for N IL) commence.
  12. No guarantee this verifies but a -EPO has increased our chances of seeing wintry weather.
  13. Let WAD with small intervals of CAD commence. Consider core of winter from Dec1st-March 10th for our area.
  14. Hoping warm weather would hold through Columbus Day weekend but recent runs showing first real cold push of the fall season. Will be in Door County and hoping for decent temps for golf and hiking.
