Wrapping up with the first flakes of this event as some heavier echoes sit over the city.

All rain in Chicago. Lake is just too warm for us this early in the year.

12z GFS notable shift north, and CMC is back to a significant storm for northern Illinois. Sweet spot looks to be QC down towards Champaign right now. This is a real opportunity for the subform, not sure why some are discounting this as rain or missing to the south.

NAM at 84 hours is always amped and north. If it looks like this in 48 hours, then it's something to write home about. Still think someone in the sub forum will see something significant from this. Whether that's Chicago or Milwaukee or Indy or the QC is still up in the air, but I definitely do not believe this is just rain.

Tell that to the NYC crew 96 hours ago

Euro shifted the main band south. Someone in the sub form is going to see something from this, just have to give it time to sort out.

Euro continues to like this one

Detroit/northern Ohio special

Canadian looked similar to the Euro

ORD really recorded 30.7" this season? Perhaps a dumb question, but do you have a series of when these occurred, with comps to MDW? I just don't recall us getting that much this winter, particularly in the loopy heat island. True, there have been several terrible winters recently. I wasn't actually here last winter, but do remember 2015-2016 being abysmal as well. We did have a period of time with snow on the ground between Christmas and early Jan, but if I recall that was mostly from one storm on Christmas Eve that was ~3"...it was just so cold that nothing melted. The stretch in February was epic, but that was really the only thing that set us apart from the Indy crew. And that melted promptly the following week.

Only saving grace for Chicago this winter was that one week in February where we got some decent snow. Other than that, absolutely horrendous. One of the worst winters I’ve encountered in my 25 years. Granted, I’m spoiled having grown up on the east coast

Anywhere is better than Chicago

Montgomery county, PA recorded 4.5" in 90 minutes

Lake Shore Drive is completely covered
