1/24-1/25 Major Winter Storm - S. IL, IN, and OH

[Stevo6899]

2 feet for boston incoming. That's gotta be like 10 of those for them since 2000, 20+. Congrats to the chicago lake crew and indiana/ohio crew. Looks like detroit will be lucky to get 5.

Just realized its been snowing for a little over 24 hours now. Shame 75% of it was sand, but winter vibes are nonetheless high. One of the LES bands making into Kankakee county now.

In Chicago they plow the 606 before the roads.

And yes I saw 4 runners

Lake effect bands are def legit

Averaging around 8.75” snow depth. Probably reached 10” storm total if I measured and wiped clean every few hrs since this was such a long event.

Super cool https://x.com/i/status/2015442810598531536

Gonna end up between 4 and 6 inches here, will definitely take it. It's annoying to see the east coast win again but I'm glad our southern and central ohio peeps finally cashed in a big dog.

Starting to wind down as the LE rotates into southern Cook. I wasn’t here for the thanksgiving weekend storm so this is definitely a treat. Plus seeing the split band LE this side of the lake was a big highlight

Hanging onto nice flakes but this is about it, happy and surprised to bust low.

Polished a turd and lessens the sting of Boston getting another mega dog

Yawn.

Its fantastic outside. I lol when I hear something like "the east coast wins again". They've actually been in a historic multi year snow drought in many places so whether you believe it or not, they are long overdue for a storm like this. 

This powder is not high ratio so the depth will not settle much. Deep winter.

Glad the lake effect came through for the Chicago folks!

Hopefully LES totals didn't skew ORD official numbers too much

the game likely would have been moved, unfortunately.

ORD snowfall total was 3.5" at noon, but more was added.

Photos coming out of Oxford, MS are wild. So much ice.

Finished here in west Cincinnati with  8.5", some compacting.  Western sky clearing.

My thinking was set it to prime time tomorrow, with the extra week of rest for the winner. They may have also opted to move it elsewhere today.

What is happening in Toronto/vicinity right now is incredible. 3-4”/hr rates for hours as a heavy LES band is parked across the metro due to easterly flow from the main synoptic storm. Could break the all time record there in fairly short order.
