I'm heading up to Milwaukee to play some golf.

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.

Hoping cold air shows up for Norgi ski jump event by end of the month. At least they can make snow.

Believe.....lol

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

No need to go to Europe for winter weather either.

For decent snow seasons you need consistent cold air and moisture. Our area has had neither. Those periods where they intersect seem to be trending briefer and less often with each passing year.

Will be down in Evanston for Northwestern game Wed evening. Maybe some flakes.

You have the hot hand this winter. Usually one area it wants to snow at in our subforum every year.

Played in a high school basketball tournament that holiday. Dad was periodically running out to start the car.

Disparity even greater between RFD at 5.6" for the season

Seems to me there are windows of opportunity each winter. Could argue as to whether the length and number of these windows is diminishing as we move forward. We had one in November and just about finished with this Decembers. Sometimes a pattern emerges as to certain areas being hit repeatedly. This year the upper Midwest with MSP and across Northern half of Wisconsin look favored so far. Probably will have another again latter half of January. So far this winter locally has been about 3 events each barely able to cover the grass.

We're great at <=1" totals

Will hope cold pattern reloads mid month for another window of wintry opportunity. Definitely this system another let down along with watching Illini basketball last night. One of the worst performances in 40 yrs of following them.

Chilly -10F here now. Was expecting to be underwhelmed and wasn't disappointed from a snowfall stand point.

Miss SW

Might cover the grass entirely with this. Tough accomplishment this winter so far.

Snowing here. Maybe 0.5" down

Standard LOT snow map layout in effect

Should copy and paste this for future reference.

The references to GHD 1 is like Bears fans recalling 1985. Too many pieces have to fall in place to get a storm of that magnitude here. And 98% of the time they don't.

LOT can convert WSW to wind chill advisories
