HRRR is driving rain pretty far north.

In the "how could that happen" category, a lung transplant recipient died after receiving covid-infected lungs. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/organ-transplant-patient-dies-after-receiving-covid-infected-lungs-n1258388

I think you found someone more bullish than Angry.

Delta T may not be great but the inversion around 700 mb on the BUF sounding is fairly respectable. Still, it's impressive to see with so much ice on the lake.
-
I'm assuming the lake effect parameters must be pretty good to be able to overcome so much frozen water?
-
Noticed that too. Some models don't really get it going until around 6 pm here. Given the bias with these types of events, would not be surprised at a little earlier start time. Assuming it stays snow for long enough, think I may be in a decent spot here. Should at least get in on some of those heavier rates.
-
I think it depends who you are talking about. For unvaccinated people, there is not much pointing toward the variants being milder, and if anything they may be worse.
-
They are running like 750% of average snow to date That 20.3" is easily the record for so much snow in such a short timeframe. The old record snow in 4 days was 13.1"

Agree. This entire pandemic has seen varying regulations across the states so there's no reason to think every state will end the mask mandates at the same time.
-
Yeah what a debacle down there. I have a cousin in the Houston metro area who lost power but fortunately not for very long. As for this system, definitely seeing the potential for good rates. At least a few inches looks like a good bet.
-
Fairly strong signal for March being wetter than average in much of the region. Southern areas will obviously thaw more quickly than farther north. Right now I'd say that thawing looks somewhat gradual with northward extent at least in the shorter term (like not suddenly blasting into the 50s/60s) but all in all, certainly potential for issues down the road.
-
At the current pace, we are a few weeks away from 10% of Indiana having tested positive. Obviously there were tremendous numbers of cases being missed early on due to testing shortages, with less cases being missed as the months went by. Hard to get a firm handle on it but if only 1 in 4 cases have been detected since March 2020, it would mean nearly 40% of Indiana has had covid.
-
The turnaround has been absolutely remarkable. This would be an elite stretch in any winter, but the contrast with how it started out is amazing. Just trying to soak it in because who knows how long it will be until we see something like this again.
-
Not a whole lot of time for heights to rebound after the system later this week. Looks like decent dynamics to work with and I'd say that I-80 northward is pretty safe to stay all snow... maybe even down to I-70 mostly snow.
-
The worst. I actually shoveled the street next to the curb to try to prevent this, but it doesn't look like anyone else did. So if the plows come through on a final run, probably gonna get screwed.
-
40.7" of that has occurred since January 1. It is the 6th highest January 1-February 16 snow total on record (would be even more impressive at Midway). None of these other winters had as slow of a start as this one. Most snow from Jan 1-Feb 16: 1) 50.4" -- 1978 2) 47.8" -- 2014 3) 47.3" -- 1918 4) 45.5" -- 1979 5) 43.0" -- 1967 6) 40.7" -- 2021

I think I figured out the formula for success imby. Last 2 storm threads I started both dropped double digits.
-
That one looks pretty good for a front end thump in northern IL/IN at minimum.
-
Getting flakes from the lake again.
-
Trying to imagine what it would've been like around here had some of the earlier model runs worked out, specifically the GFS. Depths would have been absolute insanity. Anyway, not looking for much out of this here. NAM remains most bullish. Perhaps we could pull an inch or two but not real confident overall.

28" depth reported in Evanston.

Been outside much of the morning cleaning up and just taking it all in. What can I say. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Just an incredible sight to see so much snow on the ground. Took some depth measurements and averaged out right around 24". It is sort of hard to believe that I am here and not somewhere else like a snowbelt.
-
Just got up and looked out the window and it is pouring snow in this lake enhanced band.
-
I'm basically in the same situation. Hope to wake up to an overperformer! Nice convergence zone between GYY and IGQ.
