Airport recorded .3" from the band last night, 2nd biggest snowfall of the year/season. 2.1" total.

3rd biggest snow of the season tonight. Might have gotten .1", also the 3rd measurable snowfall if so.

Bring on Spring mushrooms amd turkey

*insert eye roll and intense death glare* mad jelly. Hoping for a few more east shifts but not holding my breath. Ha 

Going with the cut off looks like ILX has you nearer the 4" mark than 1", on the higher end of the spectrum.

Normally I'd be rooting for the GFS, but have to hope for the Euro so I can get back to work Tuesday with running water.

Plumbers are coming Monday to put in a new water line. I'm hoping this snow will be somewhat fluffy so I can use a leaf blower to uncover all the locator markings they plotted today and tomorrow.

My luck sucks

Unfortunately probably. But I can dream right? 

Don't worry, just had the main waterline to the house bust. My bad luck will be your good luck, east it will come because I need it west now.

0.1” snowfall total on the season will do this to you. 

.2" here and think that was kind of a stretch, plus a trace in December. If we don't get anything by Valentines day I'll be ready to move onto Spring, which is when I'll get denied that wish and tormented with snows that last 3 days. I would take another Palm Sunday snow like the one several years ago. 17.5" and gone by Good Friday.

It wasn't me 

Latest ILX totals

Airport is going to have atleast .1" so record will stand here.

Some other totals in ILX CWA

Yea I thought we would see some nice dry fluffy stuff tonight as the system pulled away but that ended up way north. Feel sorry for you guys down south. Been a snow less winter for you so far. 

I'd rather have none than nickels for 4 months to reach a dollar. 

Mother Nature usually has a way of equallizing things, took until December for the severe to somewhat break even for the year. I just don't want winter in April and May 

Give me a couple half dollars or a silver dollar and in the end I'll be happy.

Big plot twist. Dry air was overmodeled on north side but undermodeled on south side. No models really showed snow ending here till after 06z. Had few periods this afternoon of drying but filled back in but now seems last band is pulling out. 

ILX posted this on FB a couple hours ago. Actually hoping they're wrong, would rather break the latest measurable snowfall record than a dusting.

Some banding regenersting but nothing really holding up, can't imagine it's going to fill in that greatly over the next 2 1/2 hours.

Sleet and ZR at KSPI. 

ILX likes the NW track. 

Surface cyclogenesis will
develop in SE Colorado Friday, with the low tracking to western
Missouri by 6 am on New Years Day/Saturday. A warm front ahead of
the low will advance into a cold Canadian high pressure in place
across the northern Midwest. The 12z model suite has kept the
general trend of ECMWF with the northerly track of the low and the
GFS the southerly track. GFS ensemble output is targeting central
IL (roughly the I-72 corridor) for some of the heavier snows from
that system. The ECMWF continues to target northern IL for heavier
snows, roughly north of Galesburg to south Chicago. The blended
extended guidance in our system is leaning toward the northerly
track, and keeping snow amounts down and mainly northwest of
Peoria. While freezing rain signals are present in the transition
zone soundings, it does not appear to be a good setup for an ice
storm in any of our counties, with a lack of persistent sub-
freezing dewpoint air feeding in from the northeast.

Still, there is potential of high impact to travel New Years Day,
so anyone with travel plans toward northern Illinois will need to
keep a close eye on updates to this winter storm system.

After the surface low passes on Saturday, much colder air will
arrive on gusty NW winds. Wind chills will likely drop into the
zero to -15F range by Sunday morning, which will be a rude
awakening after a warm December

It looks like SPI got screwed out of the No.1 latest last year due to a lousy 0.1" on New Year's Day, unless they picked up more on the 2nd or 3rd.

That it did, 1 amd 1.2" respectively.

16 days remain for KSPI and KPIA record for first measurable snow.

KSPI with a 59mph max gust yesterday

DVN and LSX keep letting the edge of their CWA's drop warnings in the middle as it moves into ILX CWA. Not sure what ILX will do with it. 70mph on DVN side and 60mph on LSX. Probably dry up before it gete here though.

Was just about to post that for here.

So far last 2 hourly uodates had gusts to 56mph. Just went outside and it's ripping out there.

Looks like the airport recorded a 56mph gust last hour here

Expanded the moderate and added hatching to the 10% area
