If I remember correctly, the snow season didn’t really start for ORD/N IL until right after Christmas last year either. I recall finally being able to take off my Christmas lawn inflatable sometime in March because it had been buried under snow & ice.

EDIT: Here it is, from Dec. 29th & 30th. ORD had only seen 0.9 inches up until this storm. I got around 6” at my house.

About 1 to 2 counties north of me reported a solid 2.5 to 3" from the overnight hit. I like it when GRR says "nothing to see here boys", then at very last minute pulls the headline trigger. All the Peeps getting up early for work would've been in bed by the time they did. They got on the commute and were like "where was this on the news last evening?"

Glad I had the day off. 2” of heavy wet snow.  Side and main roads were not great and I’m not shoveling this slop.

The 00z HRW FV3, on the other hand, which had been warmer with little if any snow down to Cedar Rapids, just upped it quite a bit, similar to the Euro.

The 00z NAM is ok, but the 3k NAM dropped totals way down.

NAM comes in even hotter over here with 8 hrs of snow falling and 3-5" potential. Looks way more robust then wave 1, yet DTX stuck beating the 1-2" drum no headline even mentioned.

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
