Probably gonna lose a few inches due to melting and compacting here, still a fast start to winter, none the less! Love to see it

Let’s see if I can get 2 feet by December 1st

Here we go!

LOT hasn’t backed off the idea for rain/snow mix in my area for a time while WGN has been consistent with 8-10 for my area. I know our boy Tom isn’t behind the desk but I love when WGN weather doesn’t budge as the storm closes in.

Call looking decent, temps and light rates def gonna be an issue

I’d agree. If I could pull 6” on Thanksgiving Weekend would pretty much be a lifetimer for me. Note any other Chicago event you see for Turkey weekend turned to slop post event. That will not be the case this time. Real cold to follow allowing the snow to stick around. Big difference

This includes today’s lake effect but c’mon now.

Overdone? Still seems to be two camps with this one. Trends to me seem to indicate a pretty big event here but LOT and some posters here (guessing leaning into climo) are hedging their bet some.

Should be a fine lil event with bonus points for the holiday weekend Saturday timing. I think those with big dog on the brain might be bummed. Ull track not ideal

The high end of the range is way overdone. 11” here by Sunday morning is plausible if things go well. For the storm itself, things have been looking good for 6-10” for a while. NAM is juiced up but that’s typical at this point.

If we could get the H7 low 50 miles SE of current guidance we’ll over perform imho.

This would be nice
