  1. From LOT AFD: Also have to point out a growing signal for a southwest-flow synoptic scale cyclone somewhere east of the Rocky Mountains in the February 11-14 timeframe, with both the GEFS/EPS already favoring our area being on the warm side. Should a cyclone actually develop and we end up on the warm side, could easily envision forecast focus trending toward hydrology concerns considering the frost depth of just deeper than 13 inches at our office isn`t going to vanish anytime soon.
  2. RFD had 4.7" ORD 11.1" Jan.totals Average January ORD monthly totals 11.1" Difference mostly LES. MBY somewhere between those so would give the month a C-. Mostly swiped by dusters and flakes in the air from distant LES. Trough position too far east with us sitting on backside. If pattern resets ideally trough digs back further west if not could be repeat of January.
  3. Was in Northbrook most of the day. It was ripping at times. Sad to head back to dust town
  4. Hopefully. This weekend is approximately duster event #9 for my area. At about 26-27" on the season. RFD lagging a bit at 23.9"
  5. That's nice. No chance for blowing and drifting on the way back and forth to Iowa City
  6. Hopefully LES totals didn't skew ORD official numbers too much
  7. Definitely. Will ease this weekends swing and miss out here.
  8. I tend to follow certain markers. If it's snowing hard in Evansville it's not snowing much here. If the SLP track is taking the little Egypt route I'm in business. Chicago seems more in play with these southern systems since you'll get this LES signal to show up fluffing up totals. Sometimes comes to fruition; a lot of times doesn't. I always figure qpf is overdone on the margins and will erode away as event nears provided there's no consensual shift of the models NW
  9. -11F this morning Edit:-12F currently
  10. Snowmobiling Edit: Helps with north facing yard also
  11. One last jolt from the paddles before last rites read
  12. Seemed to remember endless dry qpf EMCF maps last year. At some point in February figure trough lifts out of the east and we get another wet cutter as ridge out west sloshes east ala mid December.Trough probably redigs in same location at some point later
  13. Thx. Remember the near misses more than the hits
  14. Would think it's a step back. Especially compared to 0Z ECMF run
  15. Would expect qpf numbers to dry up a bit and models usually are overdone at this range.
  16. GEM looks good for downstate, central Indiana, Ohio folks possibly DTW.
