A wintry look at daybreak. Township plow off the road. Second unit just arrived.

Heavy snow. .

Dusted. Sleet/snow mix. .

Sleet mixing into the rain.

The trend is our friend. Ready for it between Woodstock and Hebron. .

Fields looking about cooked but we will see what daylight brings. Biggest tragedy, these 24-hour cheap shots. Mama Said https://youtu.be/yMGWQKn9Ers?si=de4RPur-3z1MyG5f

5 miles south and just under 5". Slightly denser. Ratios did their work.

Another Sunday morning waking up to the goods. 7" on the mark.

That incoming band was great to wake up to.

P cool structure on the inbound SVR.

A few strong punches in the last twenty minutes. Some peas mixed in. Maybe a few low-end severe gusts. Nice to have some daylight and bright sky staying put to the northwest for contrast in the sky. Maybe one or two more quick hits but nothing crazy here.

Meteors and northern lights tonight.

Just before the main line moved in to O'Hare, etc., it was interesting watching that outflow boundary push to the southwest through northern Cook County, extending southeast toward downtown, from the cells that had fired in the northern tier counties and moved out over the lake. Brother out by Des Plaines was in the backyard and commented how much cooler it felt just after that feature pushed through. We figured it would stabilize things some - perhaps the confluence points with the main line ended up being evident with that Bensenville/O'Hare spin up area, along with that rotation just west of downtown over 290. Interesting to think how things would have gone had that boundary not pushed inland - perhaps less/perhaps more effects say I-290 north. Separately, saw some scattered tree damage this morning a few blocks north of Bensenville but nothing too crazy.

Heavy precip parked just west for the past hour+

Gusts held off until rain moved over. A bit of pea size. Nice timing with sunrise.
