The pocket of deeper waters over the Southern part of Lake Michigan bodes well for Chitown in terms of lake enhancement. I recall vividly in the depths of JAN and FEB 2014 when the lake had ice build up and somehow the lake still produced a good amount of lake effect post storm/clipper in FEB '14. I like the chances for NE IL to cash in on this system.

ORD recorded just shy of 1" (0.9") of fresh powda from the squalls last night that will add to winter feel. Not sure how the official depth is still at 1".

Looking good for 2-4 here. Glad we aren't whiffing on January here

Thanks it's exciting and I kinda have a good feeling about the weeks ahead as well. 2 weeks from now the Thanksgiving and December part of the pattern should return.
