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.

6” downtown chi

Not a model guy, but not seeing that. Showed a shade of blue over my house for about 10 hours same as last run.

Shit happens.

Looks like a thing of beauty forming on the radar

You always find a way

Just noticed I forgot to add the decimal point. .10 age is a bitch.

Thank you for a polite and cruel summary as to why I’m screwed. But do appreciate the solid analysis.

We have a reason #9 to discount a model run: 9. If all else fails pull the BAM weather lever.

Thank you for confirming my call. Your insight is appreciated

We found the problem.

No change.

Another blast from the ‘90’s and early 2000’s. He’s never right. Maps look like drawn by a kindigartner, but his ass chewings when he’s called out pure entertainment.

Like living the 90’s all over again.
