11/24 - 11/26 Winter Storm

[bud2380]

I measured 7” in Iowa city near the airport.

[Tom]

My brother lives is in McHenry and said its been snowing for a couple hours already with 1.5" down so far...

[Sciascia]

Officially snowing here in Elmwood Park.

[Niko]

 

[Tony]

Tony, are you getting any frozen precip?

Sorry for late response but was outside. Been snowing since 1:30. Moderate snow at the moment

[Niko]

WWA for my area....I am expecting it to be upgraded to a WSW. Just one county south and I am included.

It won’t

You live on the north or south side of the city?

[james1976]

That much in Osceola??? Wow

[Niko]

I know we’ve moved onto hi-res models, but this 18z NAM run is glorious.

A tick more south and I am in the heavy zone.

[gimmesnow]

it's started here in SE wisconsin, going to chill for a little bit and go hit up the AV with my board and enjoy this fresh stuff. Need a couple inches first, probably some crappy ice base after the last torch.

[Tom]

You live on the north or south side of the city?

Just north of ORD...

[gabel23]

Just north of ORD...

You should do pretty good then, good luck! I ended up with 2” of wet snow, I’m just glad I got something out of this.

[earthandturf]

Moderate snow in Crystal Lake now, after a couple of hours of sleet/snow mix. The streets are slushy, even after being plowed and salted.

[westMJim]

No WSW for any part of west Michigan. GRR is guessing about 3 to here tonight and a chance of 2 to 3 tomorrow. Here is their reasoning for NOT issuing a winter storm warning. 

   ISSUED AT 316 PM EST SUN NOV 25 2018  

 
- NO BIG CHANGES TO THE GOING FORECAST.  
 
- THE SNOW WILL BE DISRUPTIVE, BUT NOT CRIPPLING, THUS WE KEPT THE  
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AND DID NOT UPGRADE TO A WINTER STORM  
WARNING.  
 
- MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE WILL BE MUCH SLOWER THAN NORMAL.  
 
- CONFIDENCE STILL HIGH ON A PLOWABLE SNOW.  
 
- HEAVIEST SNOW BETWEEN I-94 AND I-96 WHERE 5 TO 7 INCHES EXPECTED,  
LOCALLY HIGHER.  
 
- LAKE EFFECT SNOW EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH  
SOME ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE MAINLY WEST OF US-131.  
I have to say that makes sense to me.

[Clinton]

Hey just wanted to report from my house, we have a full on blizzard underway.  I am finally home and can just sit back and watch

[westMJim]

Just had a rain shower move in the temperature here is still 40°

[Niko]

Jaster....any snow warnings yet for your area. I am assuming you are under a WSW.

[Sciascia]

Back to mostly sleet/rain here after having snow. Could be a little while still before a definite changeover.

[Tom]

Good luck bud! I saw a video from Gary Lezak and it was puking snow in legit Blitz conditions.

[shakjen]

Still rain here in LaSalle

[Sciascia]

Blizzard Warning for Cook

[earthandturf]

The Weather Channel forecast for Crystal Lake is:

4:00 lt snow

5:00 cloudy

6:00 blizzard

7:00 thru 2:00 am blizzard

I don't think I've ever seen a forecast like that around here.

[East Dubzz]

Just taking a look at that cutoff is absolutely insane. Glad this started to shift south last night, because being on the potential northern edge and getting shutout today would have been pretty disappointing- but got that out of the way yesterday.

 

If I have learned one thing again, it’s to always trust the Euro when in doubt.

[snowman1]

Look outside here and it looks like a classic April rain storm with gusty winds.

 

We are anxiously anticipating the change over. Little sleet is starting to mix in.

[Clinton]

I'm going to enjoy this one!  Also eyeballing another good looking storm Dec 6th and 7th.

[james1976]

A couple 16" reports in southern IA and still snowing. Unbelievable.

[FV-Mike]

Radar looking intense and filling in.

[GDR]

7 miles from me got 14.5 and I got 3. Amazing cut offs

[Meichel]

Grass not covered yet in 60156, as we sit in a lull before the heaviest stuff gets here. Bearing down on Tom right now, and DuPage County looks to be the big winner around Chicago. We should do pretty well out here, in spite of the 1/2" of sleet that started this off this morning.

[jaster220]

You assume wrong, amigo

 

But, to read the heading on GRR's page..

 

 

Rain will change to snow tonight. Snow may become heavy at times overnight and early Monday, with strong winds creating whiteout conditions at times. Travel will become dangerous, including for the Monday morning commute. Power outages are possible.

 

We don't get words that perilous with an actual warned storm, lol

 

The whole headline thing's a joke. As posted elsewhere, they'll do the same thing they've done before, upgrade after the fact. Hopefully not after people on 94 have been killed in some massive pile-up

Yeah, that's awesome memorable stuff right there.

[Sciascia]

Still dry here in Elmwood Park

[Minny_Weather]

I'm back home. Flew the direct SAN -> OMA route today. Probably the worst descent I've ever had, at least into Omaha. 

 

It's almost as if Omaha didn't receive any snow. A dusting on the ground around the airport. In Lincoln, the grass is covered except for the typically bare areas. Wish we coulda gotten the amounts advertised this time yesterday. Oh well. The melting process begins tomorrow. Yet another snowfall going away the very next day-- Hooray! 25.5*F.

[jaster220]

Your every day WWA conditions per GRR

I think next weekend you will be happy.

[snowman1]

And here we go in Bureau County.

[shakjen]

LaSalle still a frozen mix

[Minny_Weather]

3.6" the final total at the airport. Surprising they recorded more than Southern Lincoln considering we got the better reflectivities and higher ratios here.

Usually, they wait until it really starts happening.......that unfortunately is a little too late, like you mentioned above in your statement
