Glad ill be gone for this whole period. Yawn

Been a minute since I’ve seen my outdoor furniture like this

Radar looks good

Those are some serious returns around Ames

Trend this evening has been to narrow the band of heavier precip but maintain it for longer through northern Illinois / southern WI. GFS is now showing the same

Individual SREF members are kind of all over the place

Very Severance weather

More mean cashing in a bit more on present pattern. Clippers are back

12z ECMWF says not so fast

Yep on edge of frontal passage. Doubt it amounts to much but Im loving the mood flakes on mood flakes vibe

We have to make sure everyone knows that Detroit is a notorious climatological snow desert

Looks like NW IL and NE IA will jackpot as the western edge starts to pivot. NE IL will probably get in on it too, expect much of Chicagoland to be 8-10” in the end. The ECMWF did a pretty good job in the end with this system.

Pretty big bust incoming for you

This looks like 1-2” max but should be a nice refresher and a very rare snow on snow for early December

Reflectivity looks great to the southwest of Chicago. Going to be a prolonged period of 0.5-1” per hour rates coming up

Buddy, it’s a joke. Pretty sure he knows it as I made the same joke about 3 years ago

We’re getting invaded by the New England forum

I recently moved to Bucktown / Logan Square area so I get to have the neighborhood/suburb feel but still be in the city. No black slush for me!

This looks like a solid 6-10” area wide with some 12” lollis probably favored over eastern Iowa or northwestern Illinois. I’m out of town this weekend so will miss this one unfortunately. Get back Sunday early evening so shouldn’t be an issue on the return and will get to enjoy the deep winter feel as we get into December. For what it’s worth, I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a November in proper Chicago (not ORD or the burbs) with this much snow. 2018 was great for the suburbs but downtown it was mostly slop and rain. Nice change of pace to start winter.

Not our climo. I’ll sacrifice it though for lake enhancement during the big dogs

2-3” across the metro id say

Last gasp of this event. Very heavy rates downtown, roads covered again

Fall scenes downtown

Ended up with just shy of 2” here. Did get a few rumbles of thunder which was cool. HRRR did pretty well with placement of the LE band near Kenosha. Handling of the initial push into cook county was poor.

Ground slowly starting to whiten here
