Just over an inch here. The drifts are actually quite impressive, 6-10” in spots which I was not expecting.

Just about to catch a flight to go skiing. I’ll be back in a week and expect only gains to this snowpack!

have a great trip. Here's to a Chicago blizzard delaying your return.:snowing:

nice gentle light snow falling.

BROAD MAINLY LIGHT SNOW STARTS OFF THE SATURDAY ACROSS NORTHERN  
ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. MORE FREQUENT MODERATE RATES ARE   
LIKELY BY LATER THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON AS STRONGER AND  
DEEPER FORCING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE MOVES OVERHEAD. A GREATER   
PROPENSITY FOR TEMPORARY SUB 1 1/2SM VISIBILITY IS SEEN IN   
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS UPSTREAM AND THE METEOROLOGICAL INGREDIENTS   
WE LOOK AT, SO CONFIDENCE WAS ENOUGH TO INTRODUCE A TEMPO FOR 1SM   
VISIBILITY AND 1,000 FT CEILINGS IN SNOW. LOWER ON BOTH CONDITIONS  
IS POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL FROM 12Z   
THROUGH 00Z TODAY OF 1 TO 2 INCHES IS PRESENTLY EXPECTED AT THE   
AIRPORTS.

some larger dendrites here now. LOT update:

SNOW INTENSITY WILL GRADUALLY WANE THIS MORNING GIVING ROAD CREWS AN   
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HEADWAY IN THEIR CLEARING EFFORTS. HOWEVER, A   
NEW AREA OF STEADY SNOW IS EXPECTED TO FLARE THIS AFTERNOON (LOOKING   
AT THE 1-4 PM WINDOW) AS A SECONDARY UPPER-LEVEL JET MAX PUSHES IN   
FROM THE WEST. WE ARE ALREADY SEEING SIGNS OF THE SECOND FLARE   
ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND CENTRAL IOWA - THAT WILL BE THE FEATURE   
TO TRACK AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. SNOW WILL THEN END FROM WEST TO EAST   
AFTER SUNSET

KLOT aviation update

A lull in the IFR visibility reducing snow for many areas, except
in NW IN and near the lake, has occurred this morning in wake of
a leading band overnight into the morning hours. There is a more
organized band of snow associated with a secondary upper level jet
stream will lead to an uptick in snow at least for a couple of
hours this afternoon across the northern IL terminals. Expect
ceilings, which have increased to MVFR or even low end VFR to dip
back into MVFR or a lower MVFR then currently. Vis may drop back
to 3/4SM in this snow with medium-high confidence. Snow rates of
3/4" to 1" per hour may be possible in this band of dry snow.
