could it be I'll need my roof snow rake for the first time in 3 years?

Cary's call in deep jeopardy. Headed towards average,

the script can flip in a hurry. The following Wednesday you'll have flooding concerns.

5" here looks about right.

I'll check back when it gets in NAM range. Miss the DGEX.

This is how to handle lake effect snow forecasting: INCLUDING THE CITIES OF CHICAGO, CICERO, OAK LAWN, OAK PARK, AND LA GRANGE 314 PM CST TUE JAN 26 2021 TONIGHT CLOUDY WITH NUMEROUS LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS. SNOW ACCUMULATION UP TO 1 INCH. LOWS 17 TO 21 IN THE SUBURBS...BUT IN THE LOWER 20S DOWNTOWN. NORTH WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. NEAR THE LAKE, GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH IN THE EVENING. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 60 PERCENT. WEDNESDAY MOSTLY CLOUDY. NUMEROUS LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MORNING, THEN SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON. SNOW ACCUMULATION UP TO 1 INCH. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION UP TO 4 INCHES. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 20S. NORTH WINDS 10 TO 20 MPH. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 60 PERCENT. Brilliant.

block won't be denied.

really starting to come down here again. Nice size flakes and some decent blowing. WSW going to verify at ORD it seems at least accumulation wise.

euro with a madison special.

yep. starting up again with noticeable difference in flake type.

This. Seen this occur often at the tail end of events here. Holding of on RE- snowblowing the driveway for now.

dam block. Bet through all 3 ongoing threads no one ever said "madison special". we never learn.

probably got another inch of synoptic snow to go based on radar trends which should put me past the 5" mark.

walk through arboretum will be prime.

Visibility was down to about 5 blocks in heavy snow for awhile. 1-2" accumulated from 8 am until now. Clealry past 4 " now. Back to light snow. I smell a rally for Chicago peeps.

steady as she goes.....probably headed past 4 " at this point.

starting to spit here again. I'm going to say we get a pleasant surprise over the next 24 hours to make this a win.

I guess the block was denied. Don't radar obsess these days. Any chance we get into the backlash snow as wave passes to the east today?

snow day. If I can put down several down several more inches and catch a couple dying lake bands over the next 24 hours I'll call it a win.

we meet again.

crazy amount totals?

surprised at the consistency of the snow as it is blowing quite easily for what was supposed to be such a wet snow. Nice winter evening with the whipping wind and snow btw.

good. toss. outlier. probably ingested some bad data out near needles, CA.

nice to hear something positive. I'll take two steps back from the ledge.
