Which also means there's strings attached lol. Actually getting a few flakes here now.

@Hoosier Looks like my call came right away lol.

I can almost hear it tapping at the windows lol. Speaking of sleet, there's a report from just west of St. Louis of 1" of sleet.

Gonna remain flakeless here it seems. Would have been another nocturnal nickel and dimer anyway. Pass. On to the next.

Ahhh sweet, back up to 0.8" here. I'll take it.

FWIW the HRRR beyond 18hrs has had a tendency to be too dry in past seasons. Not sure if it will be the case again this time, but wouldn't surprise me.

Looking forward to tracking the next strung out pos later this week/weekend.

Looks like that's exactly how it went lol.

Lol @ today's trends. You gotta love it. Guess I'll change my 1-3" call to 1-3 flakes. Good luck to you peeps downstate, and over towards IN/OH/MI.

Haha, we are a jaded bunch of enthusiasts. Pleased to see a tick northwest on most of the guidance today. Still gonna ride my 1-3" call though.

Damn, that's substantially warmer than it got here, 40 degrees. Was enough to melt off some more snow though, and now down to 1-2" or so.

23.0", which is pretty decent considering how fickle these systems have been across the sub this winter. We've had a 5" storm, and a 4" storm (Halloween) so far.

New Euro is a dog turd duster for the DVN cwa, but a nice hit from Hoosier up towards Detroit/YYZ.

A complete miss southeast is possible, but I'm gonna ride my 1-3" call even if it goes down in flames

Quite a substantial difference remains between here and MLI, which is only about 25-30 miles. They hit at least 57, and we hit 46. Their 57 was only a degree from tying the old record. Upper 70s in southern MO, with even a few 80 degree readings just south of the MO border in far northern AR.

If models trend southeast hopefully this will be a nice hit for the downstate IL to Ohio crew. They are definitely due.

Yeah last winter was one of my all-time favorites. Everything seemed to over-perform, and of course we had the all-time record cold. Had a 6 week down period, but other than that it was fantastic. The winter before that we had that awesome late March event that dumped over 10" here, while areas a county to the north got squat. Unless the snow completely shuts off we should end up close to average this winter. The only frustrating thing about this winter is the lack of daytime snows, but that's just being a bit picky. Also, no warning criteria events, but it's hard to complain about that when folks off to the east are having a horrific winter.

It's only a matter of time until you get dumped on while we sit under an empty cirrostratus canopy lol.

Not too far away at MLI they're up to 51 already, but only 43 here. Still the warmest it's been in quite awhile and should continue to denature our snow pack. Very nice to see the sun after days upon days of gloom and frizzle.

Trying to narrow down the exact path of these multiple waves be like

FYP

I'll go with 1-3" for the first call for here/QC. Good chance that will be the final call. Nocturnal nickel and diming our way towards an avg winter. Def could be worse.

Mood flakes during the day are always a win at least lol.

Massive cotton balls falling from the sky a short while ago. Biggest flakes I've seen in awhile. Up to almost an inch of lumpy accumulation. I didn't even know it was supposed to snow tonight lol.

Nice snow globe effect going on at the moment. Large flakes, light wind. The paved areas have dusted up quickly even with temps still above freezing.
