Nov 28-30th Post Turkey Day Winter Storm

[RogueWaves]

Dust in the wind for 3 hrs has whitened everything. Streets, rooftops, and lake ice. 

[michsnowfreak]

Pixie dust light snow for a while has dusted the ground. Temp 28. Thinking 4-5" is a good call for here. Should be a bit of compaction in the early morning as temps rise above freezing, but still a solid winter wonderland expected.

KCMI just reported its third straight hour with 0.25/mile visibility. Absolutely ripping right now. Stay blessed friends 

[Chicago Storm]

Thanks dude! Haven’t been out to measure yet, but I’ll let you know! Judging from radar, a heavy band is knocking on my doorstep.

[Sciascia]

May be a little dry-hole coming over the Poplar Grove area around 6pm. We’ll see if it fills in.

There was about 3-4 on the ground when I shoveled earlier. Looking similar out my window right now. So my uneducated, unsubstantiated guess would be 7 inches so far in the area.

Nice heavy band making its way into Adrian MI. The start of the heavier snow for SEMI

We don't name storms here.

Starting to come down heavy here in Hillsdale, grass is finally covered nicely 

[Harry Perry]

Has been slow to accumulate over here, finally up to an inch. Might be an under-performer. Will see if rates make up for it as we go through the evening.

[KeenerWx]

On the doorstep of 7”. Another slug of heavier stuff about to move in, though, so we should still get to 8. 

[hawkeye_wx]

The nice, fluffy flakes from the recent heavy pocket boosted my total to 10.2 inches.  Unfortunately, that was it for the good snow, so once again I will not get a 12" storm.

[Brian D]

LES band developed here this aftrn. Light snow along the North Shore. Heavier down towards Duluth/Superior.

[mimillman]

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.

[ILSNOW]

Measured 8 inches here in Buffalo grove

[cyclone77]

9.3 here as of 5pm.  Nice dendrites now with southeast winds starting to lighten up.

And folks say you don’t have a heart

[homedis]

Just about 7.5” here in Lake Forest, some of the best dendrites all day right now.

[DocATL]

Dry slot life in Naperville. Probably mostly done but a solid event. 6+
