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

Pretty nuts if this pans out Tonight Snow showers, mainly after 9pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 28. Blustery, with a north wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 11 to 17 inches possible. Monday Snow showers likely, mainly before 9am. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Mostly sunny, with a high near 36. West northwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.

Think this is a little extreme in Cook. I could see the LOT AFD playing out over Lake and Porter counties in Indiana but overnight guidance seems to have swung the band further east.

Lol

Down to shatter 75 year futility over here

I think we’re on track for lowest seasonal snowfall total in at least 35 years? And if nothing much changes from here, Chicago will have a 3-year average annual snowfall of below 20”.

I’m here for work and can confirm it is cold

Maybe we shouldn’t defund the NWS?

I haven’t really been paying attention but this still seems like a solid 3-5” event for DTX

Next week New Orleans special, calling it.
