Didn’t they do well during the same time our Iowa buddies kept getting plastered?

I’ll keep note of your quality posts from here on out, bud. We easily have the least amount of snow in northern Illinois and yes, that’s frustrating. I’d love to get a good storm, but that’s not happening and I don’t need to pretend otherwise to make you happy. Cary routinely makes posts similar to mine yet no one bats an eye (no shade to Cary personally, we get along great). Enjoy your weather without trying to make other people feel like crap. You might not like that I’m not easily aboard the hype train but I don’t like the personal digs you make at me and others. To each their own I guess.

lol

Yes, the GFS has us around 2". The NAM was the model everyone was hyping earlier, when it was an obvious outlier. That's why I mentioned it. Not to mention the GFS literally just came out.

What's about to happen in the city is incredibly rare. It's just amusing to me it happens the first winter I leave and then I come out here and ruin Cary's snow chances to boot. I'd move to the north pole, but i'd hate to accelerate the melting of the arctic even more. I would also say our climo isn't much different from yours at all, aside from the lake influence. Lake County is literally 5 minutes away and has been doing fine.

18z NAM took about 5" of snow away with it in our neck of the woods. Now we've got to hope the RGEM is right. lol Yeah, we were right not to bite on the "nw trend" actually benefiting us. Remember when I moved up here, in part, to get out of the city so I could actually get some snow? hahahahahahahahaha

Lol, none of those models are as far west as the NAMs. The GEM/RGEM are somewhere in the middle, but the NAMs are, without a doubt, the furthest NW.

NAMs are obvious outliers.

Certainly no reason to expect better up here.

Or any range for that matter.

And November 2018.

You're blind. lol

Not at all.

Second run now. Not to mention it's the GFS. Not to mention the Ukie and Euro disagreed.

GFS trending east. Blah.

bad weenie!

I hate spring, but I can relate to being sick of the CAD.

0.75" - we had quality dendrites for maybe 20-30 minutes between 10 and 11 and the rest was dust. We can't win.

Woodward, Oklahoma closing strong. Solid winter for them.

I do honestly try to be optimistic, it's just not in my nature. That's REALLY optimistic, though!

I wouldn't be surprised if some of you who have continuously gotten snow this week do okay. I'm hoping for an inch. Have yet to see an inch from a single event this week, so it might be a fool's errand. Regardless, it's nice to have snow on the ground and I'm trying to just come to peace with the fact that that's as good as it's going to get this winter.

At this point I can either laugh or cry. I’m laughing maniacally.

We're in the same boat. So sick of everyone else getting snow. lol My snow envy knows no bounds and these boards don't help.

I hope this one is ours, after missing out on the others. I've been jealous of all the fluff further south piling up this week!

Away from the lake clouds it has warmed up big time. 18º already, 5º above forecast high. Mid-February sun means business. Excited for tonight. Yes, I'm excited for what will hopefully be at least an inch of fluff tonight.
