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.
-
still agressive. but much more in line with other models. and seems to match LOT zones better. Good luck trying to peg the north cutoff anyways.
-
even I, an optimist, thjnks that number at ORD is a tad over exuberant.
-
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.
-
been a while since we had Chicago, Detroit, Michiana, St Louis, downstate IL, Indiana, Ohio inclusive event.
-
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.
