Yeah, SPC could have done without the NW bump of the slight to along the IL river here. Storm that did pass through was easily covered by the marginal, HRRR did well with it staying to my south I'm severe weather starved here

Wasn't even yawn worthy. Same old song and dance, storm skirts by, showers stabilize things, anything behind will weaken as it approaches. I did hear some thunder though....

ILX

Took awhile to clear out here, not sure it'll pan out IMBY. Give me some thunder and I'll be happy.

Kept it marginal with little or bo change to delineation, possible upgrade at 20Z Text posted above

Marginal introduced ...MO...IA...IL... Early day rain and storms should quickly shift east across MO and AR along the low-level jet axis. Although the surface low will be slowly filling, daytime heating will produce a plume of steep low-level lapse rates across much of central MO and extending into southwest IA. With 50s F dewpoints and cold air aloft, the result will be an uncapped and sufficiently unstable air mass to support low-topped cells, including a few supercells. A broken arc of storms is expected to form after 18Z over western MO, moving northeastward toward southern IA and western IL by 00Z. Veering winds with height as well as favorable low-level buoyancy may support a brief tornado, along with marginal hail.

Got my first dose of Pfizer yesterday, go back April 2nd for the second. Sore where the needle went in but no issues, hopefully the same way on 2nd shot.

Scratch that, jumped 3 degrees past hour,make that 64 Fair 64°F 18°C

Currently 61 degrees, first 60 degree day since Dec. 23rd. Makes it hard to wish for snow/cold anymore. Bring on Spring

Doesn't make sense to me, 5.8" on .56" QPF when it was 3 degrees or colder and snow depth is 3".

Did you miss out on GHD 2011?

Guessing by visual depth and shoveling earlier KSPI will end up in the 6.5 - 7.5" range. i don't know how you accurately measure with todays conditions. Drove by the airport on the way home and it's an expansive flatland with little wind block as one could imagine, but the road was bare and wind blown snow whisking across it.

Snowing here still, can't say what is falling vs what is blowing though.

I honestly don't know what to call it here, I'd say 5" is a safe bet. Looks to be winding down pretty quick, way quicker than the midnight hault mentioned in the AFD. 4:30pm climo report had .2 QPF and no data for snowfall. Got home from work and had 14"drifts behind the gate and towards backyard, shoveled a path for the dog to do its thing and had to run to the store. Windshield flash froze in about 10 minutes, glazed over again while in the store. Got back and started shoveling the drive and shovel broke. Tried to fire up the 4 wheeler and it wouldn't start, so i had a half shoveled drive and walk way which is not drifted back over. I don't know why I root these things on as pissed as I was getting earlier

Looks like a Dab+

Not sure what was wind blown vs what has fallen but truck had about 2" on it since 11am. Leave work in 8 minutes, only have a normally 17 minute drive. Have a feeling it's going to be a tad longer tonight.

ILX AFD, they don't seem as worried as I am

Finally pouring flakes here, took forever for the better banding to get here. Hopefully this is the start of the onslaught and no more lulls.

They bumped this area of their warning up as well.

My guess is they are heavily weighted to WPC guidance. WPC doesn't give anywhere in IL aside from Chicago area of exceeding 8". I thought it would be a it higher probs than that in at least eastern and south eastern IL. They have the better snows well east compared to modeling, same with the next system.

ILX AFD update

Not used to this, usually when we get a couple inches of snow and it starts blowing around in the single digits that was it. Can't remember the last time it was this cold before a big snow, my guess would be in the 80's but could have been more recent.

Down to flurries here

Curious as to what the ratios have been here. Going by the airport tally of .06" liquid we'd have 1.2" at 20:1. Definitely have more than that.

No clue how much snow has fallen here, wind is blowing it pretty good.If I had to guesstimate would say 2 - 2 1/2" been coming down at a decent rate for a bit now. Sitting at 0 degrees to boot
