midwest buildit

Im screwed again. I know it. Lol. Im calling an inch for here. That will be about it, i know it.

No point in arguing. Mother nature will do what she wants no matter what the models say. Lol. I say the low tracks some where between florida and canada.

Getting me all excited about snow again. Lol

Lol. It was epic.

Here's what I got. Probably about done here. Just enough to turn the grass and trees white.

Looks like the outer line of the snow band is starting to move east now.

Hour and a half later. Snow has let up some. Still looks the same as my previous pictures.

after 3 hours of sowing. finally starting to stick a little.

Calling a BUST...willing to bet it never snows hard enough to accumulate here... lol

this one.....

thats what im afraid of. lol 

why do they always do this stuff during snow season...

i want to go to the advanced severe weather seminar. its march 13. but i also plow snow. is only $40, but non refundable after the 24th. lol

i know its a ways out. but hows that weekend looking. lol. i hate to register and not show up.

LOT must be very patiently/frantically waiting.

forecast says

up to an inch tomorrow with gusts to 35

less than an inch tomorrow night with gusts to 35

what to believe. what to believe....  rpm/skilling looks good for about 5-6. noa graphic looks good for about 2-3.. point forcast says 1.5. other models suggest 1-10.

trends have been more northwest for the deformation band on the larger storms.

told you guys not to get me excited about this one dam it... lol

If ORD manages to squeeze 2"+, it'll bring the snowfall for the season to about average.

maybe for the airport. but im only sitting at about 18-19" here currently.

well with any luck, this might get me past 20" for the season. lol

didnt the last couple of larger storms in the area end up with the snow expanding further northwest of the low. and the last couple of storms ended up tracking more north didnt they?

please dont get me excited about another possible storm. lol. its been such a rough winter already. kinda ready for spring. took the spotter class last week. but either way i would love to get some more snow. money has been slow this winter.

You only had 40" for the winter of 2007-2008! That doesn't seem right. I think all areas north of I-80 had at least 50" that winter.

this is only set  to current date today, not whole season. so as of this point in the season 07/08 we had 40"

Ya, Euro seems to be the weakest link with this one.  NAM is also sorta trend weaker.  06z GFS looks pretty healthy but I'm not expecting more than 2-4" with the first wave.

 

As I write this, 12z GFS coming in similar to the 12z NAM.

 

I think parts of SD/S MN/IA will end up getting the best totals from this system.  Certainly weakens as it heads east but still enough to produce some advisory snows over here which would be a top 2 snowfall for the city of Chicago this winter.  That is saying something for how this Winter has been in the city proper.

yes it would be nice. this is my total for the year so far. arboretum is 2 min from me.

well i was excited for this clipper. looks like another non event here again though.

1.01 inches of rain so far today.

Same here...heavy rain/sleet combo...

girlfriend works in des plaines. She keeps saying there is some sleet mixed in too. Not here. Just strait rain.

been thunder and pouring rain here for over an hour.

18h rap mode

that image doesnt help. Im under the top part of that green finger of rain.lol
