Looking at my records that go back to 2007, I had never even come close to getting double-digit snow in November, until this year.

There ya go!  I will argue now this is the best Thanksgiving event in my lifetime. The competition was 1975 when it hit the Wednesday before. But it was followed by warmth and gone and was essentially slop .

These long duration events are great. 12hrs+ of snow will end up yielding ~4” here.

I’ve crossed a parental rubicon tonight. My 4 year old was actually helpful shoveling the driveway.

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

Band drifted into the shore, and it is developing more heading right into my direction. Could be a decent hit here depending on how long this lasts. SN bordering +SN currently.

Flake size and totals signal underperformed so far in SW MI

Might luck out with the pivot and end up with a few more hours of light to moderate snow 

[Chicago Storm]

6.9” at ORD through 6PM.

6.0” at RFD.

Had to go to work so I’m a little out of the loop on how the storm is evolving but stepped outside to major rippage. About 7” on the ground (despite our competitor measuring 1.1” ). Looks like a batch of dry air moving in before the final wave in Illinois slides through. 9” seems plausible. Then we’ll see what bonus we get from the lake tomorrow.

Pretty spot on with your call, then. 
 

Where did your competitor measure? On the ball atop a flagpole? On a plowed road?

Barely a dusting here. Not even enough to cover the leftover leaves I didn’t pick up….

6-8” here seems extremely unlikely unless we get some crazy 1”/hr rates late tonight. We are hours from the heavy bands from what I can see on the radar. I hope I’m wrong!

It wasn't even supposed to start yet up there lol.

Rip city finally. Giant PacMan of dry Easterlies been eating every weenie band trying to get here to Kitchen Sink Canyon. Wiped 2.5in off the board at 1 and zero, nada, zilch until now. We'll see how long this lasts. Winds are finally getting a southerly component letting some moisture in. Think its gonna be too dry for any liquid at all if the temps do climb above 33 or 34 around midnight or later. Gonna have to buy in 3 or 4 inches on the next draw at this rate. Went 6 inches all in with a pair of Jacks in the hole lol. Loved all the pics from the bright side!

Filled in nicely again, maybe another 1 to locally 2". Gonna measure later for a storm total. Has to be over 6" here too.

Nice band right over where it should be.   Hope it lasts a while.

It aint a snowstorm until detroit gets dry slotted lol.

I saw 3PM….at least that’s when the WSW started.

That was 5 hours ago.

Maggie Daley Park about an hour ago.  

 

[Chicago WX]

Got home from work about 30 minutes ago, which was a blast BTW, and measured 8.0". Still snowing really well currently, but time is running out. Awesome event for November.  

[andyhb]

Looks like the advertised spread the wealth event is coming into fruition. Seems like N IN is doing pretty well compared to expectations, widespread 6-12" elsewhere.

We have to make sure everyone knows that Detroit is a notorious climatological snow desert

Right .  Even though they beat Chicago almost every year. This time, Chicago gets the headstart. 

All things aside, very winter like storm for november. We are getting snow from a low tracking to our west.
