Agreed. Rather have this then a four hour snow blitz.

Somehow the Lake Michigan water temps are almost unchanged from yesterday morning. The southern lake buoy dropped by 1 degree, but the Chicago shore and crib (which is just offshore) are still showing 33 and 40 degrees respectively... not quite sure I believe it though, haha. But if something close to these temps can hold into tomorrow, then delta t's will be in the upper teens to around 20C particularly if using the crib and southern buoy water temps. Certainly respectable in that regard even though the inversion heights are fairly limited.

water no ICE, please

My guess is a homeless camp that got a little carried away with staying warm.
