You can definitely see the first hint of spring fever already hitting. Lots of people out today on walks, car washes jam packed, and people just outside to be outside. Snow is quickly melting here and should be completely gone be tomorrow. MLI up to 45 making a run at 50. EDIT: MLI did end up hitting 50.

lol @ Omaha -
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 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.
-
We've gone over to mostly light freezing rain. Didn't expect that this far north.
-
hey that's my line
-
Reports of over 3" only about 20 miles north, oh so close lol. Right at an inch here with light snow falling again.
-
Has completely shut off here for first time. At 0.9" so far.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Large flakes and nice snow globe action here lately with these enhanced bands redeveloping nearly overhead.
-
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.
-
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.
