Toss.

It really is. This time next weekend we are officially 50% through met winter. Man I’m only 33 and time is just passing by in a flash.

mood flakes and edibles, doesn’t get much better.

Wasting peak winter as has been the trend the last years. 1.5” season total, with nothing on the horizon until at least middle January.

Alek ready 2 torch

Another December finished with less than 2”. Ready 2 torch next week

Be lucky to crack 2. Weak sauce

Sipping IPAs and watching the awesome conditions right now. Sign me up for this.

Winds really getting after it now. Heavy band of snow just off to my west, things should really get going here soon. Really hoping I can squeeze out 3.5”

We are on the board. Flakes have commenced 10 minutes ago.

Yeah I noticed one county north of me (Ford) upped their totals from 2-4 to 3-6. Champaign it looks like is sticking to 2-4.

What is it with January 31-February 2nd the last decade

I found this sub during the lead up to GHD I, a forecaster I used to follow (forgot his name) kept tweeting about a historic blizzard, with incredible model agreement for the Midwest, and it got my interest. Weather has been a fascination and hobby since I was a little kid, so I was stoked to find folks similar to me. Admittedly I don’t post a lot because I mainly read analysis from some of my favorite posters like RC and OHweather, and all the Mets here. Been through many heartbreaks here, including GHD I and GHD II.

Enjoy your storm!

Lowering total for a fourth time to DAB.

I’d say gusts to 55. Trying to remain positive, I guess 1-3” of snow whipped at 45-55mph will be fun to watch.

Gonna reduce my final call for a third time to 1.7”. Brutal lol.

Gonna have to bump my final call down to 2.3” here in the paign. Nothing but a glorified December 2012 the way things stand.

exactly. It’s very rare we get this kind of wind field. I’ll take 4-8” getting whipped by 55-65mph winds. Polar Vortex Blizzard dropped 8” with 45mph winds and it was a disaster. Not sure what Champaign will ultimately receive snowfall wise, it’s looking blizzard like regardless.

Wow. Just wow.

The giddiness these storms give never gets old, it always makes me feel like a kid again. Should things materialize like 12z GFS shows, this area could be looking at the biggest blizzard since February 13th, 2007. I sense lots of coffee and emotions over the next 72 hours.

Regardless if my heart gets broken by this beauty, the fact we finally get a blizz 2-3 days before Christmas has me giddy. If we could tap more gulf moisture, this could be historic. I do like my position right now.

If we finally get a cold pattern right before Christmas with bare ground and end the month with another T of snow, I’ll inject bleach into my brain stem.

Mid to upper 40s, wall to wall clouds, throw in some rain. That’s my next 9 days. Not a single day with sunshine. Well on our way to another clunker December. The trend is your friend.
