  1. 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.
  2. Lakefront peeps like meet the new storm, same as the old storm.
  3. 1-3" on the lakefront, rising to 6-10" inland seems like a good bet.
  4. It'll be historic all right... a historic paste job.
  5. 12/26/09 is an event that comes to mind that had an extreme gradient through the Chicago metro.
  6. DVN is out to lunch. 18 inches on their graphic.
  7. Something that has been discussed in the past for different storms - could convection in the warm sector lead to a more suppressed solution? SPC has an enhanced risk for tomorrow.
  8. If I was in McHenry County I'd be feeling pretty good right now. In downtown Chicago not so much. Well, we can't say we haven't been through plenty of storms like that.
  9. By this logic we should do away with all headlines. Could you imagine GHD 1 with no headlines at all? Just "It's Chicago. It's Milwaukee. It's winter. It snows."
  10. Event starts in less than 12 hours. Then we'll see what happens.
  11. Isn't snow/blowing snow and cold wind chills just common winter weather though? You even said it wasn't as significant. Also, don't we have wind chill headlines for this kind of thing? Wouldn't that be easier for the public to understand? Advisory/warning for snow amounts and advisory/warning for wind chills. It's water under the bridge at this point. Just felt the need to state my opinion.
  12. And honestly, it was a typo but I have indeed "lived" in the AFD to an extent by reading it all the time. The headlines are based too heavily on feelings now, that's my complaint. It is called atmospheric science.
  13. Clearly that's the case, if a couple of inches of snow, cold wind, and Christmas hype results in a Winter Storm Warning.
  14. Not an expert by any means, just part of we the people... but I have lived in LOT my entire life and I think the office has done a terrible job with headlines this winter, well below their average. Lake, McHenry, and even Northern Cook should be under a Winter Storm Warning if you ask me. I bet we'll be seeing plenty of 6"+ reports out of this region Friday morning. Too much pessimism and not enough objectivity.
  15. Don't worry, our early May dusting is coming.
  16. Already have a dusting IMBY. HRRR isn't showing snow here until 2pm-3pm.
  17. I see what the models are really trying to say... Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!
  18. One could say we're living in some dtrying times.
  19. I lived through nearly three straight months of no precip last year. Wake me up when that happens again. Some oaks are struggling but hickories are fine this year. Fortunate we got good rains this past week.
  20. Just got smoked... guess the stock market's CAPE isn't the only thing that popped today.
