    Hey neighbor. I’ll take 10+ hours of that please & thanks.

    This kind of system can be our bread & butter up here. Hope it delivers. The fronto band can really dump, but often seems to drift further north than anticipated instead of sitting overhead. Fingers crossed.

    Yeah, I was gonna say... we had about 6 hours with no grass tips today. They're baaaaack. Didn't have to do the driveway though, it just about melted off by 3 PM. So I got that goin' for me which is nice.

    While the grass is (finally) covered for the first time this season, I'm debating if I should even clear my long-a$$ driveway. Between the relatively warm asphalt, a bit of solar energy, and melting it looks ma nature might just take care of it for me by the afternoon, leaving me just a few spots to clean up with a shovel. Perk of marginal temps & warm-ish ground temps.

    Per radar FWA and LFT look like the spot to be for the next hour or two. Enjoy the goods!

    Looks like the surface LP has crossed the Ohio River into southern IN. A lot of models had it riding south of the river through northern KY, so glad to see the system didn't crap the bed at the 11th hour. About 2" of wet stuff here so far... honestly it's more than I expected. Trees look nice with every branch caked in gloop. Hoping the upcoming pattern delivers some drier more mid-winter type snows.

    These marginal temps are a buzzkill. This system for the most part looks like a drippy slopfest. This thing would deliver if we had some cold air involved (the weekend potential has the goods to tap into... here's to hoping it materializes).

    This would’ve stuck to a frozen ground. Temps held below freezing up here today which is why it never melted from the trees. I can dig a hole no problem anywhere in my yard. It’s late January. That ain’t right. Solar energy did play a role, obviously. Some sheltered spots still have a bit of cover. But again, it’s late January, not April.

    Trees and anything elevated are still caked yet the ground is so warm it melted about 90% of the snow. Not sure I’ve seen that before.
  11. tuanis
    Maxed out at about a half inch accumulation around 8 AM. It’s been a pretty snowfall since, but melting quicker than it can accumulate.

    Ride the seasonal trend. Ready to call it up here… the “double duster”. A dusting tonight that melts tomorrow, and fringe flurry fest for the mid-week system. Can’t wait

    Maybe next year when we get rid of the Niña. The last couple years have been rough. Late Jan-mid Feb 2021 was the last solid wintry period we had in the north/northwest burbs. Things got deep.

    You'd hope that just once he'll drop this Annie Lennox video instead. Probably not this year.

    Update: grass blades out front are now 90% covered. Looking at Google Maps, roads just about everywhere are slow moving. I hope western LP Michigan gets absolutely walloped (but everyone takes precautions and makes it through just fine).
  16. tuanis
    They’ve been nice lookin flakes for sure. Well-formed dendrites clumping together.
  17. tuanis
    There are snowflakes. They are sticking a bit. Temp has started falling. Radar looks putrid. Seems inevitable that we end up with less than 2” of snow.
  18. tuanis
    With a map like this you'd think we'd be in for the storm of the decade
  19. tuanis
    I'm not seeing where those 7" totals will come from. Looks like a ~6 hour window of snowfall tomorrow afternoon into the early evening. Maybe we'll see inch an hour rates for a bit, but I doubt it stacks up to anything more than 4".
  20. tuanis
    Thinking the only 5” totals we’ll see in the metro are from some schmo measuring a drift against his neighbors fence on the northwest side of the city.
  21. tuanis
    Am I wrong in thinking that as most models now depict this event it's basically a 3-5 hour window of snow and wind as the arctic front blows in? I'm not seeing how we do much better than 2" or 3" at this point without a deformation band to pivot across the area.
  22. tuanis
    That was a kickass storm over here. Several positive surprises and no marginal temps or mixing. It kicked off that legendary deep and cold February. Most events since then have been kind of klunkers north and northwest of the city. Let’s hope this one has some happy surprises too. Sometimes an arctic airmass nearby can help make that happen.

    Then explodes > spins in SW Michigan > occludes. That's some sexy stuff.

    :: trying my hardest not to get pumped up or show any emotion but secretly pumped the f up for a potential pre-Christmas blizz :: 12z trends were pretty pretty pretty good
  25. tuanis
    Little bit of a front end mix, otherwise it’s been a drippy wet snow up here. Rates have been solid enough that it’s sticking to the road and driveway in a gloopy fashion.
