4.3" here as of an hour ago or so.  DVN with 5.8", MLI has 4.3" as of 12z.  Should see another 0.5-1" from the residual system snow.  Then the wild card is this afternoon/eve with some potential snow shower activity with the help of Lake Michigan.  Iowa side not looking quite as favorable to get in on that as it looked yesterday.  I'll be pretty pumped if we can get one of those LE showers here later.  Would be a rare treat lol.

2.2" at ORD as of 7AM.

Synoptic snows shutting down soon, and it looks like most of the CWA will finish in the 1-3" range, except near the lake where there was enhancement and more like 2-5" totals.

All in all not so great of a performance by guidance. This system had big similarities the the 2nd snow event in December... Small amount of dry air that could be overcome, but forcing was an issue was a big problem, leading to lower totals and a bad showing from guidance.

What a garbage way to snap the futility record

Too lazy to go out and measure..  Plenty of snow to tear the fields up on the snowmobile - anything more is bonus with this system.  Hoping to hit double digits

Nice!  Radar is looking pretty sweet up your way.  The COD loop really defines the LE snow bands well.

Thanks for the link, Cyclone.   I can't even remember (many yrs) the last time I've looked at a radar during a storm.  It's been a horendous last 3 winters and I don't need to drive my self anymore nuts staring at a radar.   So now I just enjoy it old school like I did before the internet many - many - yrs ago lol.    Looking outside the  sky  has the look of a  winding down mid-march system to the sky..     Now - I sit waiting impatiently for a miracle snow globe to ramp up again later.

Wishing NE IL could get in on some of the LE that SE Wisconsin is getting. MKE is getting pounded now


Hopefully in due time. There will likely be some totals approaching a foot in SE Wisconsin. My concern is if a single band converges tonight it may be too progressive to dump much in our backyards. We'll see.

Was hoping for 14" and that was my forecast to those who asked.   If the LES even half arse pans out I'll pull a foot.   If it goes to town I bet some area will fluff stick it up to 16"

 

I'm taking the stance that any snow beyond this is just bonus.  Gun to my head I would never have predicted 14" but I had a strong hunch the MKE Office would be making upward adjustments during the day.

That's another worry, hoping for a stationary band but we'll have to see if it goes through your area or mine :)

I didn't think this quiet, and uneventful winter was going to go away quietly, or uneventfully...... 

Caught the LE snow warning.  Going to be an interesting  24-36 hours.  However, for those wanting some Spring... Fear not!  Temps climb to the mid-50's a week from now.  I would imagine most of this snow will be gone by then, at least around here.
