Maybe?

Climo wise, this time of year you'd expect these systems to cut hard and drop heavier snows across the Great Plains. I can't recall seeing a setup just like this in a long time with the antecedent trough over the Great Lakes.

Can't fathom what is happening, been burned too many times with LES.

The recent HRRR runs have the main band stationary over Lake County, IL. Gets O'Hare into the heavier totals.

As a snow weenie guess I'm just gonna have to move to Florida to get those big time snows. /s

As we have seen, the game isn't over until the clock hits 0.

Already has my dude, it's called the greenhouse effect.

GFS has been consistently showing a clipper signal 11/30-12/1. Hoping I can see some football in the snow that weekend.

Morning and evening sun with some gentle thunderstorms and small hail in the afternoon. Top shelf day.

Looking at the depth change map, it seems like areas farther north in Wisconsin get screwed more, possibly due to a longer fetch over the warm water. Temps in downtown Chicago when the 1st wave starts are still near/at freezing.

Lakefront peeps like meet the new storm, same as the old storm.

1-3" on the lakefront, rising to 6-10" inland seems like a good bet.

NAM north/amped.

It'll be historic all right... a historic paste job.

12/26/09 is an event that comes to mind that had an extreme gradient through the Chicago metro.
