yeah. payback gonna be a bitch. And I'm old enough to know this shiat evens out.
-
in fairness the event was named that for the storm not where it would hit. And at the time numerous 20" totals were progged by models. But lets face it even those totals based on a baroclinic zone where waves run along it does not cut the mustard. And anyone that thinks GHD ll held a candle to l is loopy. Nothing I've ever seen compared to l. Nonstop, lightning,thunder and blinding snow for hours....Chicago> boooston. Is uncanny, the amount of Groundhog day storms that have occurred recently.

^ it's not far east enough yet. Can say snowfall in Downers Grove continues at a light/moderate clip.
-
^ last night's RAP making a run to verify
-
agreed nothing worse than watching a home floor loss in the Big 10.
-
still snowing at a decent clip. One of my best parts of a storm is post storm after I've booked the amounts on the ground and it just keeps flaking even at a light pace after days of model burn.

going to carry Alek to the finish line.

Nice job by you guys on this. Stood the course in a very tough gradient situation and looks like you will end up almost spot on in most zones. Not easy to do.
-
down in downers grove. Quite a bit more down here than in Glen Ellyn. I'd say 6" easy. GE probably 3".
-
I believe LOT's call was for 1-2" by daybreak for them. So spot on. Believe I'm outpacing that out this way. And I was to be 1-2 by daybreak. Not going to achieve some of the higher numbers that were showing up last night on the near term models, but not shut out either(which was a concern). Will take my 4-8"(hopefully higher end) and run.
-
one 20" storm in late February and your view changes.
-
. This guy aside. Good luck. Looks like a fun day.
-
2" down. Fine light snow falling. LOT holding onto a 4"-8" call for mby. Seems on target. Morning update with no real changes for majority of thier CWA. Checks radar: looks good.
-
any commentary on radar trends as it relates to some of these short term models and optimism for heavier snowfall further NW into LOT zones?
-
all about what falls from the sky at this point.
-
Gotcha. Really didn't pay attention as much to those models today. Thanks.
-
caved to what? Pretty much looks unchanged MBY. What did I miss?
-
surprised how hard it's raining here. Immediately thinks: "I'm losing my snow qpf to rain" or "models underestimated the moisture influx and the dry air will lose the battle in my back yard."
-
This is the stage of the storm where everyone on the edge of the main snow band exudes hope.
-
LOT really no changes except to incorporate Dupage and Kendall counties into main warning areas as opposed to separated out prior. Realize this all cosmetic and only matters to those in Chicago. Key message: no changes to thinking, i guess. Gonna be nip and tuck. If Alek pulls 10" out of his butt crack on this from 72 hours out it maybe an all timer.
-
LOT map seems fairly consistent to model consensus. We'll see of they tweek it after 12Z runs. Might be a tad NW. I'm not expecting 7-8" IMBY.
-
gorgeous morning out here. Hard to believe that we are on the cusp of a decent winter event
-
stop trolling me.
-
eh the model burnout is real. It'll be nice just to nowcast soon.
-
funny thing is for the majority a realignment matters little, but for those of us riding the fence. It's make or break.
