  1. little over an inch of rain last night with the heavy storms. Lots of lightning
  2. Flakes are flying. Grass is covered. NE wind. Nice to see winter again. Even if it is for a short time
  3. Final totals in Chicago area. O'hare almost to 7
  4. It has been a while since we had 13- 14 inches on the ground. I know the closer you get to the lake the less but in an El nino year this has been a good week
  5. Yep did alright. Finished with 7 . West and north burbs did well
  6. Had 30 mins of sleet mix. I am back to all snow
  7. already at 4 inches. CHI into Wisconsin should do very well today
  8. my Grid for Geneva shows 7-15. ORD even has 6-13
  9. Could someone post the 18Z GFS for points further East. Thanks!
  10. I think uiowa needs to cancel the men’s bball game tomorrow
  11. LOT sticking with global models. The forecast for this storm system continues to be handled best by the more consistent global forecast models and ensembles (especially the ECMWF and its ensemble members). We therefore continue to steer the forecast in this direction. Currently, many of the higher resolution models such as the HRRR, NAM and RAP continue to be northern and warm outliers with the system, and thus, their current iterations are not favored. Anyone have a good memory of the 12/15/87 that they are comparing this too? confidence continues to increase that this anomalously strong storm system (which bears a striking similarity to the heart attack snowstorm of Dec 15, 1987) will produce major impacts across much of northern IL into Saturday morning.
  12. yep very interesting. Extended south through I80 even down to Kankakee
  13. Got to think LOT will issue WSW this afternoon.
  14. LOT AFD Uncertainty has increased with the next winter storm to impact the area Friday into Saturday. Specifically, the operational runs of many of the models have shifted northwest with the track of the low and bring a considerable amount of rain into at least the southeast third of the cwa, with the potential for a mix possibly even into the southern Chicago Metro area. Interestingly, it appears that the GFS and ECMWF operational runs are the farthest northwest of just about all of their respective ensembles, suggesting there is more support for a more southeastern track of the low then the operational runs show. They note the NW trend but caution it may be too far
