Freezing line a bit further north, but going to be another solid/big run

Lots of drivers in ditches locally. I think there was a lot of complacency as no snow was falling, but the roads were very slick with blowing and drifting

Calm down buzz killington. Obviously this was said in jest.

Plus it leaves us plenty of time to line up GHD III

Euro with a huge swath of 12+ at 10:1. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but this run will stoke the hype machine

Euro looks like it wants to play ball too. Should be a good N IL hit this run

GHD 2 was top notch. Every run leading into start time kept ticking the dial a bit higher, and it performed. Was real fun to track. Would love simply to have something to track without being worried about suppression or mixing.

Snowglobe style flakes. Nice mood setter

This is likely way overdone, but I do like the look for some rippage and a surprise overperformer

Pretty similar look here. Glacier is in full force.

Christ man, take a xanax and chill a bit.

Must be something in the water in McHenry/Lake counties breeding super weenies. We need to start you guys a support group.

Glacier holding strong here. Need a couple 50 degree days to break this one down.

His covid banter made it easy. Now he has just doubled down and gone “full wrong” in the weather threads too.

Fog building in densely again. If it’s going to be boring, at least it looks like winter with the fog and overcast preventing a big melt

Looking forward to more hoar frost. This stuff is baller and by far the most impressive I have seen in a long time

I spent 23 year living in that area, leaving in 2010. (Granted, only 10-12 of those was I old enough to understand or enjoy weather). From the time I started following closely, 2002-2003ish, I felt that the office was solid. Every office fumbles a storm once in awhile, be it missed couplets that don't get tornado warned, or a 10" snowstorm that doesn't get a headline until 6" are down and then gets just an advisory, things are bound to get missed. But, as I said, I have been in LOT territory for 10 years now, so things may have slipped in the last decade.

OT, but is anyone else having issues uploading photos? I get an "upload failed -200" error suddenly?

Top notch hoar frost this morning

I grew up downstate in the Argenta-Oreana area. Pretty wild to hear from folks down there with a full 4” difference over the 10 miles from Oreana to Cisco. Sounds like Cisco is the big winner with a 9.8” report

Yep. Just lifting my head high enough to look outside occasionally. Lots of melting, waiting on precip to restart

Full kitchen sink here. Bouncing between ZR, sleet, and snow. Seems to mostly be sleet so far

Looks like an ice storm warning coming for extreme southern LOT

Still probably .2” on many trees out here. Didn’t get warm enough long enough yesterday to lose much
