11/8-11/10 First Snow and Lake Effect Event

[TheNiño]

We’ve really cashed in the last couple seasons here in Kenosha. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 3in/hr right now visibility is basically zero. Pretty surprising I thought the main band would be well south of here but we’re getting hammered.

It is looking like downtown, ORD and MDW will miss out on the best of this one.

There are two areas of interest for maximum accumulation totals. Location #1 will be from the Gary-Valpo area down to the Kankakee area, where snowfall is maximized on the backside of the meso-low. Location #2 will be from around Kenosha down to around Lake Forest, where the main single band looks to have found it's spot to park for several hours.

Someone(s) in Lake, Porter, La Porte, St Joe counties will likely net 14-18” based on available reports and what is left with this event. 
 

Likely top tier lake driven event for Kankakee county and points southward as well. Less knowledgeable about their local history with LES but I have to imagine it’s limited on noteworthy events.
