Let's hope we get a decent soaking tonight and into tomorrow. Spent some time in central IL, nice to get out of the drought.

Grateful for the rain here. Some of the drier areas in the N, NW burbs cashed in on the heavier amounts too.

Looks like quite a bit of rain in the medium range.

Wild to me that Chicago’s last 6”+ snowstorm was November 2018, and that at ORD. For the Loop, last 6” storm I can remember was Feb 2018. Has been a horrendous stretch and it is finally coming to an end.
It's been longer than that for me personally because of college.

After missing out another winter storm later this week, I’m in full punt mode on this winter. Im closing in on 6 years since my last 6”+ snowfall. I want an early spring, and a nice summer.
I laugh, and cry at the same time.

A haiku:
Where is the snow fall?
Winter is terrible dread.
Thirty-three and rain.

Rainer downtown, maybe an inch or two in the NW burbs.

Honestly you should be thankful Chicago gets as much snow and cold as they do considering they are not very far north. Chicago is closer to the equator than the North Pole. I imagine most cities close to Chicago's latitude across the world are warmer and less snowy.
Climate change has already taken places below 40° N out of the game in this subforum. The lower Great Lakes region is next.

I'm off work tomorrow, some OBS may be in my future.
