Been using 93 the past few years (tuned Ecoboost F-150), but I took the tune out and will be using 87 until the prices come back down. Wouldn't have messed with it, but figured the prices will go up even more for awhile, unfortunately.
Wind advisory criteria looks possible over northern IL Sat evening ahead of the incoming CF. Many models show gusts over 40mph. 3km NAM has 50-60kts at the top of the mixed layer immediately behind the front over the DVN cwa later Sat evening, so 50mph gusts behind the front look possible as well.
Looking forward to some Iowa sloppy seconds Saturday night. New SPC day 5 has central IA outlooked for severe.
May make a run at 60 today, and should easily be in the 60s tomorrow. May make a run at 70 Saturday with more humidity.
Last night's 2.2" of snow made for the 3rd highest snow event of the season, and brought us up to an even 16" for the season. DVN/MLI are at 17.7/17.5 for the season. They're both a bit ahead of here because they benefited a bit more from that straight south moving/weird clipper earlier in the season.
How much snow have you had up there? Had about 14" here so far not counting what's coming from the current storm. Dubuque only at 15.5" or something. Looks like Rockford below 15" as well. Just a sad, sad winter lol.
Forgot to mention I saw two robins bouncing around in the backyard yesterday. Looked like they were hunting for worms, but with the ground frozen I'm guessing it was an exercise in futility.
Kind of wish we could go for futility records at this point, but unfortunately we've already exceeded them. Prob nickel and dime to a 15-20" pos'er lol.
