Wonderful reminiscing about storms of the past. Hard to imagine they ever came to fruition given the tenuous timing and pieces that all need to fall in place to produce snow in this region.
Would it be better if LOT'S official site for measuring snow was more representative of the entire metro area? (ie under less lake influence) Keep MDW as the site for LES enhanced snows but move snow measuring out further west.
Just NW of ORD toward RFD and MKE and a lot of southern WI did poorly snowfall wise last year. Chicago and just SE over towards DTW did well in a relatively short period of time. Some of it LES bail out for Chicago
