  1. They may not always hit on their assessments, but LOT does a great job when it comes to informing everyone about how they think a storm will unfold.
  2. Congrats @Hoosier! Much to my surprise, Boone County got one too. Doesn’t mean I’ll get more snow, but pink on the weather map always looks better than purple.
  3. I wouldn’t immediately discredit the LES shown on the hi-res models. Different circumstances, but they did pretty well with the Chicago LES storm last February.
  4. Ah, good to know my geographical neighbor. Thanks
  5. Given the WWA’s immediately to my north in Wisconsin’s border counties, I’m expecting to lose my “storm watch” status for an advisory. But hopefully anyone here in “Chicagoland” does well.
  6. The Canadian model gives Alek almost a foot and a half in 24hrs
  7. Strictly for viewing, not necessarily for believing.
  8. Here comes the beginning of the 00z run parade
  9. 18z Euro should be interesting after the deflating balloon that was 12z.
  10. Riding the RAP for major snowfall 42hrs out is not the position I want to be in. Yet here I am!
  11. Busting high on a prediction, in Price is Right terms, means you overbid. So if Alek gets 4 inches when he predicted 4.5, he busted high. If he gets 5 when he predicted 4.5, then he’ll bust low.
  12. We’ll get you an 18” cylinder that sits in dry ice so that not a flake is lost in the measuring. Seriously though, possibly super-obvious-answer question: What is the process for measuring snow at ORD? Is there a area specifically designated for it?
  13. There’s not a watch issued yet, but heavy snow wording is already in the text forecast for New Year’s Day and night at ORD & downtown Chicago.
  14. Isobars looking like regular bars on St. Patrick’s Day: Pretty packed
  15. I see that little “low probability” yellow hairline bordering the entire lake. Sorry Alek.
  16. Been a while since the streets & sidewalk got all white before the grass.
  17. Flurries have commenced here in Poplar Grove
  18. Intensity has waned, but flake size is shifting in & out of being puffballs.
  19. Heavy stuff blowing hard around here. Dog is napping so I’m trying to get pics without opening doors.
  20. Radar saying it should be snowing here, but dry air continues to win out currently.
