McHenrySnow

As I said, relative to those around us. Everything is relative. And yeah, having not yet hit 30", I'm going to stick with not our winter. The fact Rockford managed to sneak out more is the real kicker.

Looks like our forecasts weren't so bad, eh? I mean, I wanted so badly to be wrong, but this has clearly not been our winter (relative to those around us).

As long as the rain/snow line sets up around I-90, then we can both get what we want.

2.25" in McHenry. Rockford got more. smdh.

NAM continues SE shift.

I will consider it a win if and when it happens.

I would not count my chickens before they hatched.

And the weaker it ends up, the further east it will be as well.

To be fair, I'm only going by QPF which is much lighter across Iowa and W Illinois.

18z NAM is east. Let's see if it's the beginning of a cave.

While I'll admit I'm aggravated by missing thunderstorms in the summer, especially if we need the rain, i'd rather miss a thunderstorm any day of the week.

If it makes you feel any better, you've already got 2" more than I've got.

Family in WKY were in the bullseye and it's been pouring sleet there for the past few hours. There's certainly cause for concern.

Why are you the only competent snow measurer at ORD?

Do you mind posting?

Euro also continues to be east. Ukie maybe less so than it has been? Hard not to assume, at this point, the NAM is wrong, but I'll going to try and keep hope alive at least until this storm gets out of the way.

Hoping for 3" here. Need to get off the boards so I don't have to subject myself to the punishment.

Born and raised in Greenville. Good luck!

I am, seriously, very happy for a lot of you in Indiana and especially western Kentucky who have had absolute trash winters the past few seasons. My family looks to be in a great spot in Kentucky. They deserve it.

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
