  1. Ran down to Geneseo for some chinese and hit a nice period of snow pellets. Definitely a convective aspect to these bands.
  2. I'm trying lol. Keeps on firing up overhead. Def not gonna get as much as just north but it's been pretty entertaining getting these brief moderate bursts. In between those it's been pretty light, but hasn't completely shut off yet.
  3. Large flakes and nice snow globe action here lately with these enhanced bands redeveloping nearly overhead.
  4. I usually just try to guess the ratio and calculate it on my own. I'm banking on 13:1 ratios, or perhaps better which should fluff our 0.2-0.25 of precip into the 2.5-3" range for snow. I'm guessing ratios in the main swath further north near the IL/WI border may be 15:1 or better.
  5. Ripping nicely under this enhanced band. Flake size is pretty nice as well. Gonna get pseudo dry slotted here in a bit, but like others have mentioned models redevelop snows all day over this general area. Gonna be in and out of it through the event but should gradually build up.
  6. Light snow just began here. The last few Euro runs have Geos in the jackpot zone with 6"+. Will see snow intensity ebb and flow here along the southern side of things, but should make a run at 3" I think.
  7. I literally have no clue what we'll get here. If I was putting out a forecast I'd prob just go 1-3", but wouldn't be surprised to be under or over that range lol.
  8. Had a few brief snow showers/flurries this morning, but don't think we had any accum here. If we did it melted before I got home lol. Sitting at 11.0" for the season after Wednesday's snow event. MLI at 10.3" for the season now.
  9. It's amazing how often we see these east/west oriented fronto snows end up along that route 20 corridor in Iowa, and southern WI to near IL border zone. What makes it more interesting is how pretty much every time the models show it setting up further south in the mid range. It's just poor modeling for this particular type of setup apparently.
  10. This evening's trends have been pretty disappointing for the I-80 crowd. I guess we'll try again in 2-3 weeks eh? What a pos winter lol.
  11. I can't see ALEK busting by over 5". Toss
  12. I'm hoping the trailing precip later Sat afternoon and evening overachieves. That would be our best hope to get 3"+ down here closer to I-80.
  13. RGEM came in smokin' hot for northern IL
  14. There was a decent amount of blowing and drifting late last night through parts of today out in the open country. Roads were surprisingly dicey on the trek into work this morning.
  15. Picked up another 0.4" bringing the storm total to 3.2". That's a major hit for this season lol.
  16. Looks like a route 20 in Iowa special, IL/WI border east of the Mississippi. Looks like a duster to perhaps an inch or two here if we can manage to hang onto the southern edge.
  17. Riding the southern side of it here. Not the place to be with any bumps north.
  18. 2.8" here, better than I thought a few days ago at least.
  19. Maybe a better poll would be if ORD or MLI will see a 3" snowfall event this season. I don't think ORD has even had a 2" event yet, I know MLI hasn't.
