McHenrySnow

At this point I'm just hoping I can manage an inch to make up for the snowmelt tomorrow. Astonishingly awful season here.

Meh, peace out. 

I wish I were even remotely surprised. Good things don't happen for us. 

GFS definitely brightened my morning after the run last night and the jealousy of missing out on lake effect and then a blizzard! Far too early to get excited, but overall great support for a storm on the ensembles with details ironed out of the next coming days. Fingers crossed we get a legit snowstorm. 

Gonna need to lock in that 18z GFS snowmap......could you imagine how much fun that would be?

Clipper 1: Trace

Clipper 2: 3.00"

Clipper 3: 1.50"

Total: 4.5"

If it keeps snowing this lightly Cedar Rapids will only end up with 4-5 inches of snow.

oh no!

Yeah been like a white mist the past hour.  Still a T.  Euro shows best surge of precip arriving this eve so we'll see lol.

Spitting snow in McHenry now.

Icy layer on top of the snow from the freezing rain this past weekend may be helping to slow the melt?

Helping here, but I've got nowhere near 3". Front yard likely to be largely bare outside of piles. The wind prior to the freezing drizzle really caused a lot of blowing and drifting, so it's pretty sporadic. Models sure have been depressing and reality even moreso.

Interesting I didn't see much from Naperville(maybe 1") up to Cary (2.5")on my drive back. Maybe isolated pockets of heavier snows

3.75" in McHenry. I was surprised we managed that much. Still waiting for a big one.

In Naperville today but doesn't look like more than 1.5-2". Not sure about Cary. 3.5" call not looking too bad

may be high.

highest amounts in Mchenry easy toss. 4-8 envelope seems unchanged. And 00Z NAM less than 24 hrs from storm initiation is known for  huge hiccups this is barely a breath. 

agreed

Given the WWA’s immediately to my north in Wisconsin’s border counties, I’m expecting to lose my “storm watch” status for an advisory. But hopefully anyone here in “Chicagoland” does well.

I figure Winnebago and Boone are probably WWA for sure, McHenry is quite possible as well. 

2.5" here.

Just imagine if the 4/27/2011 surveys were done with the same degree of conservatism that is applied today. There’d be nothing higher than EF4….

Pretty much my point. Clearly should have spelled this out for some people. 

And I wasn't taking credit for shit - it was said in a sarcastic way, but y'all are too busy being assholes to notice or engage like decent humans.

Then why didn't you post that sometime in the past few days?  

You literally had no comment on the rating until now.  Not even a quick drive by post.  So your thoughts after the fact don't mean much.

I rarely post on here because everyone is an asshole.

For anyone following the information Tim Marshall has been providing the past few days, a non-EF-5 rating should not come as a surprise.


.

I knew they'd never go EF-5.

Mainstream media will start its usual white Xmas concern for a few days next week.

I had about a tenth back in November during the only remotely wintry weather we've had. I don't expect snow before January anymore.

Big-time overachiever here today.  Picked up almost an inch of badly needed rain.  Had several rounds of thunder as well.  

We shockingly got 2.97" of rain. A rare overachiever for this year!

You mean Kentucky? 

He means Clarksville, TN which is just south of Fort Campbell, KY.

Shot of tornado near Bremen, KY earlier. From friend on Facebook. 

Definitely moving into Muhlenberg County - which is where I'm from. 

Listening to Evansville mets while on the phone with my parents who live 20 minutes from the tornado. Thankfully not in the path.

Mayfield has no ambulances because the hospital was directly hit - or at least where the keep the ambulances.
