GFS through 69hrs:

Oh goodness! If this goes any further north I might get kissed again! The way storms have tracked this year it would almost make sense, but I hope it stays put! I’m having a few friends over for a wine night so we can get snowed in, it’d be a shame if it’s a miss again!

Hoping temps don’t ruin things here in the city! Would love for a good sized snowstorm. Any chance of this happening?! FullSizeRender.mov

Anyone else think this is the most boring winter ever? The seasonal depression is so real, especially during a pandemic! Ugh. My urge to move south is growing stronger every year.

Hoping we can somehow reel this one in here in Chicago. Feels like it’s been too long since we’ve had a snowfall over 3”.

I’m feeling pretty comfortable here in southeastern MN. This could still be nothing for all I know though! GFS definitely looks weaker too, which usually leads to a trend of weaker overall I feel like but who knows. This is still a ways away. I feel for my friends in Chicago though :(( there hasn’t been anything but flurries in the city so far this year it’s so sad!

Awww yayyy I’m happy for you!! If anyone deserves it it’s definitely you!

Still haven’t seen a flake in Chicago this year! How the turn tables. Happy for all of you in the snow dome around us :)) hopefully we get something soon, so overdue in this city.

Oh my, if only this was all snow

Y’all think the Omadome is bad, I promise you the Chicago dome is way worse. Even if this thing shifted south for us it wouldn’t stick here in the city anyways. Blows my mind how we get accumulating snow at all sometimes. Anyways, I’m rooting for all of you! I think a lot of you will get decent snow from this :))

Nothing is more depressing than all the leaves gone — brown, dead grass, cold, and it being dark by 4:30pm, Let alone during a god awful pandemic. Hope things come around soon, I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve had a white Christmas

Came to West Virginia last week and have been here since. I’ve been lucky to have a lot of time off with Covid. It’s easily the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Too bad the storm wiped most of the leaves but I was able to get glimpses of it atleast! IMG_0768.MP4 IMG_0779.MP4

Last day before the leaves officially fell. These were taken in Winnetka, about 3 minutes away from the home alone house. It’s so incredibly pretty there!

The lack of rain here is so depressing. Rain in the fall is always the best. Hope things change soon

Living for the fall weather got my first pumpkin spice latte of the year and it just hits different with these temps and cloudy/rainy skies!

Also! Forgot to mention we had debris fly over our building as the storm hit! There was lawn chair seats and a tarp that flew over head. Pretty crazy! I feel for you all in Iowa you guys got hit so hard. Hope you’re all okay!! My thoughts are with all of you who have to deal with cleanups, what a nightmare trim.EC19EC68-1DF3-454F-A7F8-B44DB658E9C7.MOV

My wind gauge clocked an 87 mph gust from this storm. My goal when I moved here was to hear the Chicago tornado sirens. It happened today! Woo! Also there’s a lot of damage — the tornado was reported a few blocks north of my location. Was the best storm ever. trim.CDCE58E4-6EE2-47BD-B6F8-2E3383C33F83.MOV

Call me crazy, but to me this seems like a bust. That or it’s just starting much later — the HRRR has very little development. Definitely potential with all the shear in place but I don’t know. Lack of instability might be the hindering factor of all of this.

I could not agree more. I just want thunderstorms and 70s for temps. I love waking up to subtle rumbles of thunder and rain on my window. The snow this year has been so tedious im just over all of winter and am beyond ready for warmth!

I’ve been in Austin Texas all month and seeing you guys in the negatives makes me not want to come back lmao. Sounds brutal. It stormed here the other morning and it just makes me want it to be spring and summer already!

All rain here

LOT is saying only 1-2” for Chicago. I see all these maps and am v confused. Is the warm air going to ruin things over here?

I’m so hungover. That storm was cool for like 2 hours but it wasn’t really anything to brag about, by any means. I know it’s January, but I’m going to be in Houston Texas for all of February, so I hope I can snag some severe wx while I’m down there and hopefully come back to Chicago and all of you guys under a foot of snow! I think we all deserve it this year
