A day or two of 70's on the warm side of a spring cyclone followed by snow on the backside is far from unusual in these parts in early March. Please note: "Chicago had multiple days of 70°F or higher in March 2024, including a record-breaking number of days for so early in the season. " Cred. shot.

when are the 70's coming

the remarks of a beaten man...like many here.

remember it well. That was supposed to be well north and west and trended surprisngly south and east.

There is almost always a threat for a March event, and many years April. The good news, is it's usually gone shortly after. Heck, my son was born April 2 1993 and my wife April 14,1961 and it snowed on both dates. Though it was 56 on December 10,1990 when my other son was born. Amazing, how a weather nut can always know the weather on key dates in their life. Regardless, once March hits I'm ready to turn the page these days,

we got thunder

Classic subtle trolling at it's finest.

1925 i believe...the Tri State Tornado through Mo/IL/Ind may topit

my bad. I forgot there was a watch issued for that. age a bitch. False alarm climate changer.

Has Chicago even had Winter Storm Watch this season? Now that's a stat the Climate Changer needs to be on. I don't think I've experienced that.

or decade. I am ready for spring once we hit March.

how much you get overnight?

long duration couple of inches looking more likely...if lucky.

relying on the ukmet might not have been a winning strategy...in retrospect.

Fair assessment by LOT: WHILE FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS STILL VERY LOW FOR HOW THINGS WILL EVOLVE SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY, A FORECAST SOLUTION THAT APPEARED TO GARNER AN INCREASED AMOUNT OF SUPPORT AMONGST THE BROADER 00Z GUIDANCE SUITE IS ONE THAT INCLUDES A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING EARLIER AND DEEPENING AS IT TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD SOMEWHERE NEAR OR NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. IF A MORE "WOUND-UP" SOLUTION LIKE THIS WERE TO VERIFY, THEN A SWATH OF HEAVIER SNOWFALL COULD AFFECT A PORTION OF OUR FORECAST AREA, THOUGH THE LOCATION OF WHERE THIS HEAVIER SNOW OCCURS VARIES CONSIDERABLY AMONGST THE MODEL SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE IT. BUT AGAIN, THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS WEEKEND'S WEATHER PATTERN IS LEADING TO A GREATER DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY FOR OUR PRECIPITATION FORECAST THAN USUAL FOR A FORECAST THAT IS ONLY 24-48 HOURS OUT, AND GIVEN THE SHEER NUMBER OF POTENTIAL FAILURE MODES THAT EXIST FOR THIS HIGHER-END SNOWFALL OUTCOME, WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE CONSISTENT SUPPORT FOR THIS PARTICULAR SOLUTION BEFORE MESSAGING IT MORE PROMINENTLY.

4 am tomorrow he'll be the dream crusher. I've lived it.

or rumors of storms.

it'll happen when you least expect it.

as they say, frosting on a turd.

ban.

Imagine living through this alone. Thank goodness, for the creation of weather forums.

Saved. Snowblower wouldn't start. Stale gas from last time i used in it in 2015. I blame myself.

nowcast time

on a positive note, it's snowing in my backyard.
