29/19 here. 24 wet bulb. I cant see this beginning as anything other than snow out this way. 

This might be an easy 1-2” here. It’s cold out.

Good luck, not expecting anything here but cold rain. We did brine though

Down to 27° with some cirrus gathering in the southwest sky.  Temp fall should start to level off now.

My high was 45, and then dropped like a rock.

33/24, wet bulb 29. a lot colder than i thought to be honest.

Just checked all the mesos forecasts of 2m temp at valid 00z 12/2 (which is right now), and they are all too warm. The closest one is fv3  

Doesn’t mean anything about upstairs, but surface is colder than forecast.

The radiational cooling is putting in work right now. If someone put a super-soaker to my head and made me call 2hr delay or not at this hour, I'd call 2hr delay. When the clouds move back in we'll likely rebound. This doesn't change what is going on upstairs though. If anything this just means higher chance of FZRA to start.

Dew point is 18. This doesn’t feel like the typical warm bust when we were 50 the day before and sitting here with a dealing already in the upper 20s.

You're not going to like this, but he's at an all you can eat buffet.

34.4.  HRRR basically has it correct now, but the 18z was too high and the 18z NAM was way too high.

My comment on 2hr delay was for the broader N/W of I-95 region in general. Places that are already under a WWA essentially.

Mitch: Yes, and the snow crab is amazing

To be fair, it doesn't show on mobile unless you go into landscape mode.

Im on the tapatalk app… doesnt show peoples’ location.

Looking at the HRRR we just need a model bust of 1-2f colder at ~850 for a decent thump of snow in the immediate NW suburbs 

[Lucketts]

28 and clear after a high of 43

32/24, wet bulb 29. the temperature drop is starting to flatten out but it's still going down.

[clskinsfan]

This is a pretty decent slug of moisture heading our way. But it is really moving fast.

[Terpeast]

Temp drop is slowing down. 28.6/22.6.
