  1. Thoughts on "less slop, more snow"? Hard to really tell, but looks like precip/dynamics may be shutting down by the time the arctic air gets pulled into the system and profiles cool. Could this be another repeat of Mon-Tue when even Rockford was plagued by marginal temps, inefficient accumulation, mixed precip and lousy snowfall for 3/4 of the storm?
  2. My only wish for this one: less slop; more snow. So much potential for some of us with that airmass getting pulled into it.
  3. Note to future self: WAA snows in a marginal antecedent airmass close to a warm lake will always suck regardless of what the models say. Finally starting to crank out there and sticking too. Looking for 2" or bust.
  4. Rockford's closing that gap and will take the lead in no time: https://www.mystateline.com/skytrack-rockford/ It's kind of snowing here now... big gloopy flakes coming straight down that look like raindrops in the puddles. Nothing like that webcam.
  5. Updated timeline per LOT. Forecast says I flip to all snow by 11 while this graphic says a period of heavy snow starting shortly after 1. White rain at the moment and not feeling too optimistic about stacking much more than an inch this afternoon. In-laws in Lake Zurich said it's been mostly rain there so far as well.
  6. The term is actually gung ho and your post made me look up where it came from. Kind of hilarious, actually: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gung_ho Still rain here, not expecting much today even when the defo pulls through here. Don’t want to lose Friday!
  7. Woke up to a little white in the grass and a light rain falling.
  8. I really think the LOT has the right idea here. Except there will prob be some liquid up here too.
  9. You’re 15 or so miles from the lake vs. my 5. You’ll do much better than I.
  10. Still think it’ll be a rainy mixy slop that doesn’t amount to much with tomorrow’s batch even if model trends have been positive. 20+ miles west it’ll be another story.
  11. Looks pretty sloppy with the marginal temps. Like where I sit but don’t think it’ll amount to too much unless that defo band can really rip. Hoping for 5.1” but that can bust in a big way. If it delivers imagine I’ll be knocking wet slop off the young trees in the yard with a broom.
  12. Happy Halloween, good to be back in the game. Hopefully these aren’t the best rates of the winter
  13. Can’t tell if this stuff will crap out this evening or not. I’m not feeling as optimistic as you even though it’s not far off at all. Just want a light show.
  14. By far the heaviest rain of this system right now. This little cell is really putting out.
  15. The hybrid maples that are crossed with Silver Maple are changing around here a bit already. I have two big multi-trunk Freeman Maples in the backyard that a couple sections typically turn a deep red almost maroon in August while the rest of the tree is still green.
  16. It looks like things are finally starting to turn progressive. I was pretty nervous about a flash flood situation there for a bit. Hope it continues trending progressive.
  17. Power’s flashing here, we had some good wind for awhile, but probably not over 40 mph or so. Still…
  18. People were lined up outside the building when I passed by at 8:45 this morning and the line was still out the door when I walked by at lunch. My coworkers gave it a unanimous "meh".
  19. Grand opening of Shaq’s Big Chicken in Rosemont with some lake enhanced boundary clouds in the background. No Shaq in sight unfortunately.
  20. While it favors south, thinking we pull some decent rains out of this pattern, even up here. Fingers crossed.
  21. Looks pretty overcast over much of Texas today too
  22. Solid boomers, nice CTG stuff to ooh and aah at. The humidity bump today was noticeable, felt good.
  23. Pea size hail, heavy heavy downpour, zero minimal wind
