Why not just WSW from noon to midnight in that county area for potential of 6” or greater?

The thought of it stings. But once it’s 50’s with thorms and the salt and slop has washed away not so much.

Salt shortages everywhere. Same as last season. Not sure why. Won’t be long rivers will freeze up and can’t get shipments down river.

I service 50 trucking Distribution sites for snow removal from Delaware up through Boston. And run operations for national snow removal firm. Very aware of who’s getting the goods and who’s not. Boston just took a big hit no doubt. Other areas pretty much a standard 6-10 across the board. But since it was east coast plenty of exaggeration. We move these type of snows here in Chicago like it’s nothing. They may get hit again. But can almost guarantee we will again as well.

BEYOND THIS, THE SIGNAL FOR AN EXPANSIVE UPPER TROUGH CUTTING SOUTH AND WESTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES CONTINUES TO GROW IN THE GUIDANCE SUITE TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. WITH THIS OCCURRING AS ANOTHER 1050S MB ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE NORTH-CENTRAL CONUS, THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW IS EVIDENT FROM ABOUT THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. WITH ICE COVER LIKELY TO EXPAND WITH TIME, IT'S A BIT UNCLEAR HOW THIS MIGHT IMPACT SURFACE FLUXES, ALTHOUGH LATEST GLERL ICE FORECASTS INDICATE ICE COVERAGE LIKELY WON'T EXTEND BEYOND 15-20 MILES, WITH A WIDE OPEN FETCH AVAILABLE ALONG THE LONG AXIS OF THE LAKE. WITH THE COLDER LAKE TEMPERATURES, THERMODYNAMICS ARE NOT OFF THE CHARTS, BUT CERTAINLY MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR INTENSE LAKE EFFECT WITH SURFACE-850 DELTA TS NEAR 20 C AND LAKE-INDUCED ELS JUST UNDER 9-10 KFT. WAY TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME RANGE TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BLENDED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS, BUT THIS WILL BE A PERIOD TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON.

They’ve really only had one storm to speak of. Boston been getting hit but other areas south of there been pretty tame until this event. Which even that probably similar to our Thanksgiving weekend storm.

Kicked back in here after an hour flurries. Maybe one last gasp. At least it’ll make the cold look better.

Anyone know if Pedricktown area went over to sleet?

I was told that didn’t happen in the western burbs.

Yeah. Kudos to them on this. I’ll probably end up with 2” of pixie dust. As forecasted. They were fairly consistent on this despite the razor thin cut off bi secting the metro.

Flakeage. 1” per 24 hour rates.

Going to need the lake moisture magnet.

First nowcast report. Snow shield looks further north on radar than modeled. Des Moines reporting light snow. Yes, I’m that guy.
