Yes we received a coating overnight and then had mood flakes all day

Snow falling

Pitching shut outs for the month of December I think hurts NW burbs and RFD moreso than metro LOT and further SE. Most winters we generally jump out to a head start due to the warm lake being a negative influence for you. ORD catches up and surpasses RFD due to lake enhancement and LES as winter progresses. Also the fact we haven't had any classic amped up,negative tilt storms deepening as they track through Indy into lower MI that bring mixing up to southern LOT but heavy snow further NW has been somewhat unusual

A new low..We're getting punked by a respected LOT met

A young man's place to live. A significant percentage of your life during the winter is just dealing with the amount of snow that disrupts your daily life.

Getting the glazy look on trees but roads and walkways still just wet

Was 33F in the car dropping my kid off at school this morning

Only 8 weeks till spring. ^Have to admit the more he talks about how snowy the winters really are over the last decade the more it seems to verify in his backyard

Tstorm in progress

That looks like an active pattern that could ease some drought concerns over far N.IL

Bring it on. Have to go through the slugfest of pseudo spring anyways. Rockford has only 1.7" of snow for entire month of February.

Lake effect ZR

Rain over ice anytime

Expect downstate Peoria, Springfield areas may set or come close to Feb. monthly snow record with this system.

Remember when the Toronto people complained about getting the shaft.

Nice little jog of the heavier band almost due east to hit DTW and clip NW Ohio

Would be fitting to receive .5" ice on top of the 0.5" of snow we just received. Hoping for just rain next week as the redemption part of February absent here.

0.5" down in Cary and CL area.

Yeah remember listening as a kid to the NOAA weather station reading out heavy snow warnings and brief forecast discussions. A lot of times in the mid to late 70s those storms hit. Those winters left me nieve to the lackluster winters that would follow especially the 90s

SE trend like ice cream. Too much made him sick but he's not the only one who ate from that bowl.

This is awful. The whole thread is suffering from NW LOT syndrome

Will give him kudos for prediction of this current system taking similar path to GHDIII.

Actually receiving some decent rain currently

Definitely won this round. I thought the Euro hadn't been performing particularly well this winter though. Maybe it handles systems from the southern stream better leaving the clippers to the CMC and GFS

Seems contradictory to the above post
