What about February 5-6, 2008?  I swear we got a foot from that.

Man that was the ultimate nut storm around here.  Got about 18” at my house iirc 

I for one am proud of starting a thread for a storm that’s gonna drop 2” max

Wagons north

Yet another odd quirk of this Winter. Not counting today's snow at either place, Chicago has only seen 8.6" of snow this season but has had 21 days with 1"+ of snow on the ground (granted the peak death was 2"). Detroit has seen 16.3" of snow but has only had 14 days with 1" or more of snow on the ground.  As you head farther east of us the snowfall and snow cover days disparity widens even more. Your guys snow came right in time for the legendary Zzzz period. 

It hasn’t been a completely classic La Niña winter but this is a classic hallmark as you head further East 

lots of panicking here right now.  take a deep breath everyone.  Still a warning criteria snow for W of I39 and the lakeshore counties.

A little under 2” here overnight 

The v16 GFS (para) is performing much better overall than the current operational GFS so far this winter 

Snow started around 9 here.  A dusting on the ground already 

GFS continues to show a minor hit for the southern half of Indiana and Ohio 

Could see us flirting with 6” here(2” from tonight’s wave and 4” from the main low) if the N drift continues

Coldest temp of the season so far this morning here at zero.  DVN also bottomed out at zero, and MLI at 2 above.  Still awaiting that first subzero temp at all locations.

Got down to 0 here.  Just like last year, waiting a long time to get that first below zero temp

24 hour storm total on NAM ending Tuesday morning at 6.  Snow still going from about Chicago eastward

heads up that about 2" of that on the NAM from Dekalb to the west and north is from the wave overnight

who wants 60s on Feb 5.

Right on the heels of the early week system another shortwave looks to eject from the SW.  There are some hints this could be a notable storm as well, especially in the southern areas of the sub 

lead wave looks to drop a solid 3" or 4" here.  trending towards a narrow miss south with the main system.

How many people here work in meteorology? Just curious. Those that do not, why are you interested enough in this field to participate or lurk on this forum? 
 

For me I study plant diseases and I am always interested in the environment. 

Got a degree in meteorology but don’t currently work in the field 

Hmm, feel like I've seen that image before

torching up to 38 today with full sunshine

I'll get my 2" from the wave on Saturday night and I'll enjoy it.

Also Pivotal has Kuchera for the Euro now.

feeling pretty confident, as long as it doesn't slide just south

wind is blowing the snow from yesterday around very efficiently.  even a couple snownados out my window

I can't even remember what happened with that event I'm so jaded/exhausted from disappointment

MKX issued Winter Storm Watches and within 6 hours the models had half of the area getting no snow at all.  The NAM went from about 13" to 2" in 2 model runs.  Fun times

more power plant effect snow streaming SE from Portage

Thought I could contribute some AFDs to reminisce upon.  The first one is a heavy hitter,  MKX was on the hype train for GHD1 early on.  Also a fun fact, the day before GHD1 we got 4.4 inches from a mid level wave that moved through.  So the 3 day total ended up being 18.7 here.
