Feels like it’s been 2-3 straight winter seasons of them overall. Storm on models for multiple days, showing 6+ as late as 24hrs before the event, and then only ends up being a 1-2 inch pixie duster.

Me, jumping on the forum for the first time in 4 hours looking for happy IL peeps: (Looking like a good one for Michigan)

The boom/bust potential being legit at both ends for the NE-IL area makes me not envy any of those mets.

I’m in the minority in Illinois but I’ve enjoyed the event so far from northern Boone county. 8:30-10am and currently are the heaviest it’s been, but the dry slot is creeping up. I don’t measure, so nothing official; but based solely on what I had to walk in with my dogs, seems like there’s more on the ground than what’s reported in Rockford.

Much like it was on the models, snow began in Poplar Grove around 8am.

When your parents popped into your room, you had to minimize that GFS page so fast!

Pfft, easy. Free, untimed field goal kick because our fair catch was interfered with. Then we recover the onside kick, and throw a touchdown to tie it. 0z NAM (standard model) precip & snow swath south of 18z.

Cruelty helps me cope with the pain of watching them let that loss beat them 10 straight (soon to be 11) weeks in a row. Anywho, here’s the Euro’s snow band placement over the last 24 hours.

And as we’ve seen this football season, Chicago can’t stop a Hail Mary from being successful.

2024 Short/Medium Range Severe Weather Discussion
Sciascia replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
These increases in potential storm severity and potential tornado chances always make me nervous now that I live out in the middle of nowhere. I felt invincible living in Chicago based on the old “tall buildings” myth; but out here? Nerves are real having had a tornado touch down as close as 3 miles away last year. -
Heavy snow wording in the P&C in late March happens rare enough to be enjoyable, even though the idea of shoveling is less so.
-
Snowing pretty good here in Woodstock. It feels like forever since we’ve seen snow falling.
-
Hanging onto snow here. It had looked like another dry swing was coming through, but it’s been refilling with snow.
-
RAP as well.

Newest HRRR has another 5.5 - 6 inches or so for the Rockford/Boone County area thru 3am Saturday. ORD 2 inches.

Dry slot filling in. The longest drought in the history of…today’s storm is over. Let us continue jumping around like a bunch of delirious 10-year-olds. (That’s a Pat Hughes World Series winning radio call reference for those not in the know.)
-
Officially in dry slot. A shame seeing as NWS Chicago’s belief was that this was a prime time for 1in/hr in the Rockford area until 11am or so. Hope it fills in in relatively short order.
-
I’ve somehow forgotten: Was that big dry spot forecast on models?
