4.1” on total here. May make a run at 5 before it’s all done 

Often times i am not a huge fan of the long duration/low intensity type storms. But all day snows, on a Saturday, with football on tv? Can’t beat that. 

Still ripping at a pretty good clip, even under lighter returns 

Solid light snow continues to fall. Around an inch on the ground. 

My second kiddo is scheduled to be delivered by induction on Monday morning. Hoping he holds off, as I am not real thrilled with the idea of us (plus all the other moving parts) having to be out and about today. 

Real nice uptick in projected accums in mby. Going to be a sharp cutoff as you get closer to the WI border, snow is having trouble making northward progression. 

Its also nice to have a daytime long duration snow storm. Been awhile since I haven’t had to watch the snow by streetlight

Nah, it’s held up by the strength of our 11 World Series trophies. 

But in all seriousness, super jealous. It’s rip city in STL

Ditto. Thanks cyclone

This is going to be a long awaited crush job for you guys, 6-8” looks like a lock.

It hasn’t been often in the past few years that I am jealous of my parents in Decatur regarding a winter storm.

What is its track record like with past winter storms?

It sniffed out higher totals in that November storm before other models started catching on, but placement was off.

It bombed with the Nov 25th storm.  Was adamant about heavy snows much further northwest than all other guidance until at the last minute.  Other than that I'm not sure how well it's done.

Yeah it was straight garbage until snow was falling. Was consistent in being 75-100 miles NW with the snowfall axis. Bit on the far NW solution and went down with that ship.

It ended up being fairly close with respect to totals within the heaviest axis, but was laughably bad with placement.

Geeez.. 0z Nam has <3" for Cincy and 15" for St. Louis..

Rare bird coming for STL. They are going to get popped good.

Tough call here as we'll be pretty close to the northern edge.  Looks like a 1-2" type event.  Enough to make it look wintry again.  

Yep. Thinking an 1” here. Nice to see the south area which missed the earlier blizzard get a solid plastering

I think the precip onset was delayed too... more time to warm.

yeah, safely over freezing at onset.

Can't quite compete with Bo and Will's scenes, but last night's heavy duster made it look more like winter at least lol.  

 

Yep, and another turd duster ongoing right now. Whitest it’s been since the blizzard 

Had it not been for the early season storm, Hoosier would be firing up the futility thread right now.

Yep, a stark contrast to November.  Look to finish Dec with 0.2" here.  Normally I'd be lighting up the complaint thread by this point, but the November storm made the whole winter for me.  FWIW the new Euro still shows the system around the early part of the new year.  

Half the board would be on weenie suicide watch without that big one to start. Lack of snow on Christmas always sucks, but hopefully January will be rocking

Very sad to read this earlier today especially this time of year.

Unfortunately, suicides tend to spike during this time of the years (holidays and seeing others "happy" exacerbates many problems).

Can never spread this enough, reach out for help if you need it.

Light snow cover from yesterday in Central IL/IN/OH and still a bit of old snowcover hanging on NW of the IL river. 

ZZZZZZZZ

...yawn

That's only natural though.  Not everybody is the same but in general, the more you see something, the less noteworthy it becomes.  

I still get excited for the first snow of the season but after that occurs, the bar to get me excited typically gets higher.

True. You give me an earthquake, I am going to freak out. Native Californian, not so much. 

Taylorville had a 41 minute lead time between warning and the tornado hitting. That’s incredible and most certainly saved lives. Real nice work by the NWS

Had a tiny (like 2 pixel) couplet for a scan or two. I wrote it off as noise. Let me see if I have the screengrab 

Found it on archive mode. Pretty much went right over a buddy’s house out there in the farmland.

Looks like their was one that was briefly on the ground near Maroa at 630 according to ILX those pics I posted on Saturday night were around the 630-635 timeframe....here was the radar shot I got just before it occurred at 627

Standard warning for language 

The Taylorville storm fell off the radar for a bit, now has some nice rotation up near Leroy 

Not great things from Taylorville.
