At 8.2” here. Hit my call, anything over this is gravy now.

If you’re in NE Illinois or the metro, I would have concerns about a last minute shift north and that the front end thump was the main show…

Short term guidance is definitely giving that indication

I love short term guidance. HRRR has no fucking clue as to what going to happen as the low scoots by, so the backside snow changes rapidly from run to run. Nowcast time!

Definitely have some concern looking at short term guidance that we stay sleet/mix longer than I thought yesterday and really knock down accums

No sooner did I complain, Mother Nature made a mockery of me and switched back to snow. Small flake size but snow nonetheless

6.4” down with the first wave, now getting a snow/sleet mix 

For old times sake, gotta post at least one plume spread… 

Only hr 12 and the NAM appears south already. 

If the wraparound snow comes to fruition like the HRRR is suggesting, double digits easy damn near across all of LOT. 

00z HRRR going to be another hot one for the metro. Widespread 8”+ with the backside just starting to pivot around

I actually felt like it came nw. Has kind of a barrel double low then one takes over further east. Nam/rap/hrrr were hinting at this at times. Maybe they were right. The snow gradient across Peoria County is comical. 

Would be wild if it played out as progged on the GFS. Downtown and the riverfront get 2-3” while the north side of the metro has 8-12”

These GFS snow numbers are at basically an 8:1 ratio for almost the entire event. Storm does have great potential but would have one for the books if we had a cold air mass in place with 12 or 14:1 ratios.

You aren’t kidding. Would be widespread 20-24”+ totals. 

Well we have some consistency. Let’s get the ole king on board.

nope.. nope. not doing that.   that failed me last time 

You didn’t believe hard enough. This bunker runs on weenie dreams and NAM clown maps

Back to the bunker folks. 
 

FWIW, GFS seems a touch south and east 

Really enjoying back to back storms with daytime snow. Seems like the last few years the majority of the snow locally fell overnight

Sorry lakefront, you only get 8”

I’ll have what she’s having…

Jesus. Still snowing in N IL at hr 36.

The HRRR/RAP are both crushers for N IL. TSSN a possibility for sure. HRRR gives us 5-9" just during morning hours...

This run is going to be a thing of beauty for NE IL. Still absolutely ripping at hr 26
