sadly true and i agree when will our first all snow system be this winter?

Same here as well.

Noticed the same. You can tell when a snow shower went past quite easily by looking at the temperature graph.

Radar looks pretty cool.

Pouring graupel.

These snow showers briefly dump and then the sun comes out and melts everything that just fell. It's painful. Only real chance for accums is tonight, most models indicate about an inch is possible. I'll take it. Though looks warm tomorrow too.

Gotten two heavy showers thus far this morning with flurries in between. Maybe .2" out there, nothing to write home about. Slightly above freezing. The good part is at least it sticks to the glacier.

Hoping to get a decent burst before the dry slot arrives. Returns to my south around Aurora look good, hope it translate north.

Precip lightened up and went back to rain.

Snow and 33º.

I like what the 18z HRRR is showing for tomorrow night across NE IL.

Yeah, this is a bust. Not a forecast bust, necessarily, just a bust in general. I don't expect anything worthwhile until tomorrow night, as you say and I won't hold my breath for that. Thankfully, I didn't expect much from this - regardless of what the 15z RAP showed yesterday.

Temperatures are really going to preclude good accumulation here. I was hoping for an inch, but I doubt it.

for those of you fond of the RAP

huh?

Nothing. This doesn't even warrant a WWA. I mean, if the squalls materialize maybe a squall warning or a WWA for the possibility, but they're pretty conservative with watches/warnings imo so I don't expect anything.

I had a crappy morning and the piling on wasn't helpful. And you say it's just snow, but snow is literally one of my favorite things in the world. Yes, I can't control it, but it doesn't mean I don't get disappointed when I wake up and see NAM and Canadian models trended much further NW with the heavier snow. Who would have imagined saying that was a bad trend would end up causing so much nonsense? Regardless, I'm done with it. There's no use trying to engage with some posters and that's fine, I know better now.

Not a single one of those runs had occurred when I posted. I thought y'all liked looking at trends at not hugging single model runs, but it appears to be otherwise. Enjoy your dusting that melts the next day. There's also a big difference between 2-3" and 7-10", but, of course, you know that.

Literally no one is melting down. Some people are just a**holes.

Yep, you got me, the 15z RAP is definitely not a complete outlier whatsoever. I better get my shovel ready. I really don't get some of you, other than you're just jerks.

I'd rather expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised than the other way around.
