    I'm a mail carrier. It's a great decision. Alas, I'm the only one in my office that has to work today...because they still want collections done. Going to be not fun.

    -21˚ on my home station. Fooking cold with these winds.
  6. Chicago WX
    Nope. I work for the US government...in none of those roles.

    Pretty much everything around here is closed. As it should be. I think I'm pretty prepared, have certainly worked in really cold weather before, but tomorrow (and Thursday AM) is a totally different animal...

    Due to upper management having no soul, I will be working tomorrow. Outside. All day. I'm actually a bit nervous.

    4.5” here. Puked snow here between 6:00 and 8:30 this morning. It was awesome.
  10. Chicago WX
    Try working in it. It is wicked outside right now. At least the temps are pretty nice, lol.
  11. Chicago WX
    LOT finally put IKK under a WWA. Pouring snow sideways here right now.
  12. Chicago WX
    0z RGEM total QPF. Nicer than the NAM twins...

    25 degree temp drop in an hour too...37˚ to 12˚ 5 minute obs for MOT here: https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/timeseries.php?sid=KMOT&wfo=fgz&num=72&hfmetars=1

    There's a few models that show that uptick right before the dry slot hits. I really think that 99% of the precip here will be snow. Relatively quick hitter, precip outruns the "warmth", sort of speak. Then over to drizzle for a few hours with temps getting above freezing. Then everything locks back up in the afternoon. As if there will be much, if any melting of this rock solid glacier.

    Honestly, I think 2-4” is doable for IKK. Even the worst model for here, at the moment...the Euro... gets us to 2. Hoping for an overachiever of course...
  16. Chicago WX
    Oh Canada...
  17. Chicago WX
    Bullseye, pretty much, on the 12z Euro.

    Was there ever any doubt? The guy is magic.

    What's up Mike? Good for you on the nice snowfall. I did well here with the back-to-backers, totally 5.3". Very happy, as I love the smaller events too. Just got in from shoveling in -6˚ temps, so that part maybe not so nice.
  20. Chicago WX
    Did well yesterday. Hoping to do better today/tonight. And we’re snowing...
  21. Chicago WX
    Hopefully they cancel my work. Not counting on it though.
  22. Chicago WX
    -13 at IKK. Well below what was forecasted by LOT.
  23. Chicago WX
    Yeah, nice little uptick on reliable guidance for today/tonight. Ended up with 2.5" of pure fluff from yesterday's action. I'd take a repeat. Consolation prizes for missing out on Monday's event.
  24. Chicago WX
    Yeah, looks like it. Hopefully your hot steak keeps going. Need a little December 2010 magic. And I was 31 for V Day 2007. LAF with 17.0”. Coupled with the Feb 6 clipper that dropped 6” and one that had 2.5” a couple days after the blizzard, just over 2 feet of snow in a 10 day span. Those were the days...

    It would be an embarrassment. GFS is a trash model. Alas, even a blind squirrel...
