Just digging into some finer details, DGZ depth overall doesn't look particularly impressive...not one of those situations where we are dealing with something very thick.  So I think I'd go with average ratios in the ballpark of 10:1 to 12:1, with a possible exception being near Lake Michigan where they may be lower.

I still think it doesn't look too bad and actually pretty solid on some fcst soundings. Here is the 12z GFS for DPA. A good 100-150mb deep in the prime -12 to -18 deg C

Will be time to start digging into the November snowstorm records over the next couple days as the position of the snow band gets refined.  I posted the one for Chicago yesterday.  I checked Rockford and theirs is 9.5" on November 6-7, 1951.  Whether this ends up being a record breaker for some areas remains to be seen but we appear to be heading toward something pretty unusual at least.

Already started looking into it.
