Nov 28-30th Post Turkey Day Winter Storm

Still churning out pixie dust at a decent rate. It’s been a 14-1 snow/liquid ratio at the airport.

This is comical. Guess who is in middle of that big dropout in totals? Me. Largely missed a lot of the banding and convective snow south and up north got into the waa snow more than here last night. This is better than anything last winter but when your expectations are for bigger totals, color me disappointed with this one.

At 2” here.

6-8” is the forecast. Gonna need some serious rates to finish this.

 In my email exchange with NWS DLH, they said they have 18:1 there. This stuff is very light, and coming heavy still.

That map will change significantly.

6” report in BMI and 7.7” near PIA.

It has compacted so much here hard to tell. I'm right by Alta and saw a 6in report there. I did just notice that cutoff for that was just before 5. We still had some more snow after then. Not much but some. Definitely curious to see an updated map once more totals come in. But still guessing there will be lower totals in this area. We didn't get much from overnight and snow this morning was not of good quality. Wasn't till banding moved in and finally got some bigger flakes.

6.9” at ORD through 6PM.

6.0” at RFD.

Did I read correctly that this is ORD’s biggest single-day snowfall measurement since 11/21 of 2015?!

I measured 7.3" by me, first time measuring all day though so there was definitely compaction. I don't have great places to measure since I have a big tree out front and also in back of my house. The Naperville 2.5 ESE CoCoRaHS is probably only a little over a mile from me so I'll see what they come up with in the morning.

8.8” here. Still snowing lightly but about wrapped up. Memorable storm for sure. It’s a winter wonderland outside.

It’s been a good day.

Little cherry on top in SE WI. Nice touch.

Measured on a table behind my house fairly shielded from wind and no trees. That said I’m sure we’ll find lots of variability.

Done here in Toledo with just over 3".   Not gonna buy the fake radar returns/virga that vanish before impact.  Just couldn't overcome the dry air for a major bust and underachiever.

This sounds about right

The radar looks kind of showery now, so I don't know what to expect

I wouldn’t be shocked if another inch comes out of this. Looks like 5” out towards Napoleon & Wauseon. It must have been pretty nasty out by the border, they’ve shut down the roads in Williams County
