  1. I was looking up stats on October snow for MLI. Since 1931, the combined October snowfall total at MLI is 13.3". 88 Octobers to achieve that total. Really puts the GFS in perspective.
  2. Have a feeling you might reel this one in. And even if you don't end up in the main band, it's still very early lol I will be in LaSalle county on Halloween... drive might be a little interesting.
  3. I was thinking, didn't the area around Madison have accumulating snow on April 27 or 28? If so, you could be talking about going barely 6 months between legit accumulating snows. It is pretty impressive to have that short of a gap between measurable snows of any amount let alone more significant snow. Edit: went back and checked and it looks like the heavier amounts were more toward the IL/WI border.
  4. Also... in case this bleeds over into November 1. From 1990 onward, only 2 Novembers have produced measurable snow in the first 7 days of the month... 1993 (0.1"), 1997 (0.3"). So to summarize... from 1990 onward, there have been 5 different years with measurable snow at ORD between October 1 and November 7. 1992, 1993, 1997, 2006, 2014. But only 3 years when restricting to October -- 1992, 2006, 2014.
  5. So the last time that Chicago had 0.5" of snow in the month of October? Have to go back to 1989, which had 6.3". Only 3 Octobers since then have produced any measurable snow -- 1992 (0.3"), 2006 (0.3"), 2014 (0.1")
  6. 12z Euro looks decent for CID-MSN-GRB. It's sort of easy to forget in light of the previous runs but even a 3-6" type deal for that corridor would be pretty noteworthy at this time of year.
  7. Yeah, the lake is the bully you have to fight at this time of year before it tends to become more friendly lol. I think a situation that would work for southern Michigan to keep the warm shadow more limited would be if we had a positively tilted trough and weak surface low scooting by to the south, which would keep the low level flow on the weak side even after it backed onshore. But it doesn't appear to be the case with this setup.
  8. Fairly widespread 40-50 mph gusts in Indiana now. 52 mph at Muncie. Imagine if this had deepened to some of the more extreme runs (low-mid 980s).
  9. 992 at Mattoon but not sure if that was lowest.
  10. Would add that areas near the lake may have precip type problems due to onshore flow (albeit fairly light). But this one may be able to snow a little bit farther south than the 28th-29th wave.
  11. Report of over 4" now in the LOT cwa.
  12. Midway COOP just reported 2.50". Some other amounts near 2" being reported. LOT radar is really underestimating totals.
  13. Actually encountered several inches of water flowing across one road. About to get into the dry slot though.
  14. Surface low is between Mattoon and Decatur and down to about 991 mb as of 23z.
  15. Really dumping outside. Some streets have a lot of standing water for the amount of rain that has fallen. Think the sewers might be blocked with leaves.
  16. Narrow area of snow in IL on Wednesday before WAA flips to rain?
  17. Western edge of precip with Sandy ended up around Chicago. The winds/waves on Lake Michigan were tremendous.
  18. Now there are severe thunderstorm warnings for it in southern IN. Nobody probably knows what to do with it. From a duration perspective, the situation is more in line with severe thunderstorms... in and out. Usually wind advisories/high wind warnings are issued for something that lasts at least a bit longer.
  19. 12z Canadian, which seemed to come in late today, was south.
