Chicago Storm

Final event snowfall total of 2.2" at ORD and 2.5" at home. ORD is up to 5.3" of snow on the season now.

Ended up with a decent little glaze at ORD. ASOS reported 0.05” of ice. Got home and had an hour-long burst of SN/+SN, which totaled 1”. Increased forcing and lake enhancement combo leading to solid returns around the MKE area currently. This should translate southward into the Chicago area for a few hour period this morning.

Brief burst of +SN here at ORD with this WAA wing of precip moving through, which produced a quick 0.5" of accumulation. It has since turned over to -FZRASN, with a light glaze of ice on colder objects.

many years ago, we’d have threads for some of the clippers/hybrids that some have already seen. like the one today/tomorrow, for example. so, it may very well be one of the latest for that sole reason.

Solid frontogentic snow band sliding southeastward across Northern Illinois and Eastern Iowa. 2.6” snowfall report northwest of RFD.

saw the lions mentioned in another thread... talk about bad luck.

some would say that it has been great.

the key here is, if neither i nor ohweather are talking up something interesting, there's nothing to see for our region. sure, there's thread the needle patterns here and there, but many of you want more than that.

never have seen so much BAM talk in a thread before for our parts.

you got it.

some of ya'll need to get a grip.

you really need to try harder with your trolling, otherwise you just look mentally challenged.

there have been plenty.

gonna be more than 12 hours to know that. the upcoming pattern is the epitome of a thread the needle type pattern for anything interesting.

tacked on another 0.2" last evening. ord is up to 3.1" on the season. no shot at any sort of futility track for a least a month.
