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.
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."
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's aviation discussion sums up our fate in a nutshell:
IT SEEMS EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE THAT THE
SNOW PARKS OVERHEAD OR REMAINS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS.
I don't think there has been much change overnight. Still going to bi sect our neck of the woods with a 1"-12" snowfall. Have to hope some of these short range models are sniffing out a slight north west shift. Which is not unusual to these fronto bands. Won't know until we see the whites of its eyes. Death or Glory.
past the days where these things could keep me up all night. Was suffering from model burn out anyway given that mby is literally the cut off between 2" and a foot. But if I was jonesing for a 20" might have been tougher. Going to be fun to watch unfold now that were on the door step.
starts to go check out overnight models and trends. See this: optimism FTW. It's a good thing. Maybe we can continue to tug some of this overunning a touch north. Board going to be lit next day or so. Best entertainment for the money.
