    Wow, wind chill is down to -106 now. That's crazy

    As of yesterday MLI is now 12.0" inches below normal snowfall for the season. Last year at this time they were 8.4" below.

    Mine still has the tarp on it from the warm season lol

    At this point I kind of wish we could just lock in goose eggs the rest of the way so MLI could get that all-time snowfall futility. Less than 4 weeks till March.

    They system around the 10th looks like a nice road salt washer.

    4 years ago today hit -27 here, MLI hit -33 for their new all time low. Now that was some cold.
  7. cyclone77
    -7 here this morning. Have about 2" on the ground capped with a shiny layer of glaze from the 3-4hrs of freezing rain.

    IIRC MLI least snowiest season is 11.1". They're at 10.7" currently, so there's still technically a chance at a new all time least snowiest season lol. I'm sure they'll nickel and dime up into the 15-19" range eventually though.

    MLI/DVN finished with 0.4"/0.5".

    I'd prob go F+ at this point, the + being for the legit bitter cold/1" snow depth ground blizzard before Christmas. Our last snowstorm with cajones was way back in Nov 2018 when we got 12.8". Been paying for that one ever since, as we've only cracked the 6" mark once (6.3") in January 2021. That storm in Nov '18 was awesome though. I'd almost be willing to do another 4-season stretch of mostly sub 6"ers to experience another one like that one.

    We've been exclusively freezing rain for over 2 hours now. The glazing has capped off the blowing snow potential DVN was concerned about earlier. Looks like our snow total will finish with 1.0", which brings us to 12.0" for the season. We'll see what the last half of Feb and March does, but it's looking like it's gonna be another sub 20" season if trends continue.

    I like how they have a giant range in snow amounts but give an exact temp for the whole night.
  13. cyclone77
    We've gone over to mostly light freezing rain. Didn't expect that this far north.
  14. cyclone77
    hey that's my line
  15. cyclone77
    Reports of over 3" only about 20 miles north, oh so close lol. Right at an inch here with light snow falling again.
  16. cyclone77
    Has completely shut off here for first time. At 0.9" so far.
  17. cyclone77
    Nice baroclinic zone with this. It's 19 in Rockford with heavy snow falling, and sunny and 52 in Springfield. Two whole different worlds of weather there.
  18. cyclone77
    We're only at about an inch here, but it's been interesting enough it's not been too much of a letdown accum wise. Still hoping for another inch or so if late afternoon/evening can keep producing like many models show. Gotta enjoy it now, looks very benign again after this event.

    Ran down to Geneseo for some chinese and hit a nice period of snow pellets. Definitely a convective aspect to these bands.
  20. cyclone77
    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.
  21. cyclone77
    Large flakes and nice snow globe action here lately with these enhanced bands redeveloping nearly overhead.
  22. cyclone77
    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.
  23. cyclone77
    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.
  24. cyclone77
    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.
