  1. Hoping it can at least maintain itself to get me to 2". Currently around 1.4" or so. Though no doubt at least 2" of snow fell, but it's been melting and compacting as fast as it's been falling. Still above freezing here as well.
  2. Pouring graupel, but can't complain, it's actually sticking to the driveway! lol
  3. Another lightning strike down toward Princeton, Illinois. Just measured 0.75" here so far.
  4. Temp is stuck at 32.7º which means my blacktop driveway that faces south is wet. street is covered though. kind of bummed b/c i love shoveling.
  5. This is glorious. Easily hardest snow I've seen in at least a few years.
  6. Light snow has commenced. Didn't have rain or sleet, so that's a plus. 36.5º.
  7. I'm not worried, I'm just being a smart ass. Hoping for 2", 3" seems high, but possibly attainable.
  8. Because I was told yesterday that it was not going to get so much higher than forecast as it did yesterday.
  9. 34.7º here this morning. I'm thinking 2" max here at this point. I can definitely see some areas overachieving and others underachieving. Anxious to see just how robust some of these bands can get this afternoon.
  10. At the end of the day, I agree more with an impact-based system, just not sure those counties will experience anything drastically different from the rest of N IL. The general public doesn't know and doesn't care about "criteria" anyhow.
  11. Quite interesting. Definitely wouldn't have thought they'd do that. Haven't really seen anything that would meet the requirements.
  12. Andrew Pritchard tweeted this, he's based in Champaign.
  13. My call for McHenry as well, though may be a bit high.
  14. I think that's a good call for your area. I'm assuming LOT's watch will also end up an advisory and the rest of N IL north of 1-80 gets one as well.
  15. I can assure you there is no urban heat island significantly affecting temps in McHenry or Lake Zurich. The snow on the ground is keeping us this cool, if the ground were bare, we would likely be into the 40s. Different story in the heart of the city, certainly. And that will likely be a big player into the accums in the city with such marginal temps as is.
  16. That's what happens when you play with pigs. You both get dirty, but they like it.
  17. It's fine, I know you're just being an asshole.
  18. Didn't say otherwise. Yeah, tomorrow we'll have clouds, but also actual warm air advection.
  19. I don't live in the immediate metro and I'm sitting at 36º.
