  1. Cary and I don't live in Cook or Lake. lol
  2. This snow today isn't going to add up to much of anything. At least we've had more snow than Fairbanks, Alaska, this month, I guess.
  3. We can't even get slop at this point. I can't believe I moved out here for this! lol
  4. As I figured, those high ratios did not pan out here. Often, there was more graupel than snow falling. Getting actually flakes now, of course, probably not more than 1/2" left to fall. Quick measurement on my patio showed 2.75". Need to shovel the drive later and will take a few measurements to see if that is representative, but I can guarantee there isn't 5-8" out there.
  5. Yep, probably until morning per Twitter. Never fails.
  6. Your day shift went big for Eastern McHenry and Lake too
  7. Wind definitely starting to pick up. I think I'm in the minority, but I hate blowing and drifting. I like heavy snow in calm wind.
  8. The candy canes that line our driveway are still mostly buried in the glacier as well.
  9. Models have been increasing totals there for sure. Looks like widespread 6" in those counties possible.
  10. The 18z NAM came in...........wetter! across N IL at least.
  11. Remember when I moved to the far NW suburbs to get more snow? hahahahahahahaha
  12. 18z HRRR a real kick in the teeth for McHenry County. Sadly looking like my 4" call will be right (if not a bit high).
  13. And I think they average around 33" or so? They've been blessed, that's for sure.
  14. No. I said the low was shearing out and less snow as you go east, but the lake would counteract that for lakeshore counties leaving the counties in the middle with lower accums. That's the same reasoning I see NWS mentioning. It's been evident for a while that this would occur. My only hope is that higher ratios further north pan out, but depending on ratios is a fool's errand.
