    Models playing the “lets all shift north at 48 hrs out” game. Hoping to see a correction south as we have with the other storms. Should have some sampling tonight correct? NAM takes the low wayyy north, track it over MSN. Not putting stock into it, but another piece for the north trend overnight.

    Hahaha, all reporting sites considered, RPJ is going to set the bar. -30 or bust.

    Taking the low right over DKB

    This high ratio stuff is always fun, simply because it looks awesome. Classic winter as those puffballs are falling. Just the couple hours of flurries/-sn was great for the winter lovers mood today. As RC mentioned, any light snow is going to accumulate effectively. A burst of moderate snow over the metro during the rush will be enough to paralyze traffic. A lot of the country roads out here are already snow covered due to blowing/drifting.

    Considering we are still a good ways out and within an envelope of 100ish miles, that’s a good signal. I would be cautiously optimistic if you are sitting north of I-80 to the WI border in IL. The real question is can this storm tap its full potential. Do we have a high end hybrid clipper, or one we can add to the “top storms” list.
  6. SchaumburgStormer
    Yep, and have hit the point where even nusciance snow makes the roads go to hell in a hurry

    That’s “glacier flattening the land” cold.

    Interesting to note, we definitely flipped to rain/drizzle sometime overnight. On my “big board” (aka the one I don’t clear), I have about 1.5-1.6”, icy crust, then another 2.5-2.6”

    ...Camera pans, man sitting next to roaring fireplace smoking a pipe, peering over his snow covered yard... “We had a few rough years, but that’s in the past now.” (Cyclone pats the snow magnet he secured during a dangerous trek to Mt Geos) “Snow depth record, here we come” (cranks magnet to 11)

    Underestimated my “eyeball” guess by quite a bit. Measured 4.4” IMBY, still snowing lightly. Nice little suprise considering Hi-Res runs from 24 hours ago had the rain/snow line slamming north of me.

    Haven’t made it outside to measure yet, but it appears we stayed mostly snow. Nice refresher.
  12. SchaumburgStormer
    Rain currently under light returns. Have been flipping back to snow under better returns.
  13. SchaumburgStormer
    Pound town under these heavier returns

    00z HRRR pretty much keeps DKB and NW all snow. A good look for the NW burbs too. Still snowing at hr 15.
  15. SchaumburgStormer
    HRRR only depicting a 2-3 hour changeover to rain, but boy is it close.
  16. SchaumburgStormer
    Flipped to snow in DKB

    Total crapshoot for mby. Slight adjustments in track and/or WWA will make huge differences in sensible weather at ground level. Expecting ice to snow to rain for a short period, back to snow.

    Somewhat strange, but based on radar, it appears the windmills SW of Dekalb perked up the returns that have no propogated NE towards hampshire.

    Days like today are when I am happy to be home with my newborn son, and NOT at work.
  20. SchaumburgStormer
    Numerous accidents and DIDs already being reported
  21. SchaumburgStormer
    Can’t say I blame you. Short term model performance has been abysmal. You seem to be jackpotting on these storms 24 hrs out, only to have all hell break loose.
  22. SchaumburgStormer
  23. SchaumburgStormer
    Yep, and well south. Low tracks over Bloomington on the 3KM.
  24. SchaumburgStormer
    12z HRRR keeps the freezing line wavering over mby for hours. Going to be quite the nail biter, as minor temp flux’s either way will drastically change local effects
  25. SchaumburgStormer
    6.2” thus far, moderate snow still falling
