  1. Looking like a mixed bag around here.
  2. I'm not as concerned about that as I would be to see deep cold penetration into the south. Let's be honest. While areas north of I-80 can get severe weather in March/April, it is sort of bonus territory that far north with plenty of years having little.
  3. Only a light dusting here so far. Models show some redevelopment later and still looks like a rather prolonged lake snow setup (even though rates may never be that heavy), but it could remain more on the IL side for quite a while. So all in all, may still get a couple inches in an ultimate grinder event.
  4. Side note... this system is going to clinch an above average snowfall season at ORD (the whole snow season, not necessarily DJF).
  5. I don't really see a Spring like pattern anytime soon (sure, there will be some warmups) but I'm getting the itch. Going to keep expectations low. Just be less wintry than last April. You wouldn't think that would be hard to do. Any thoughts?
  6. Looking like 2-3" here. Maybe higher end if lake component is robust enough.
  7. With it being mid February, I have made the transition to "go big or go home" mode.
  8. Nothing to "refresh" around here, except maybe the big parking lot piles lol
  9. The winter has certainly been better not too far to the north and west. Haven't really had a "big" storm as shown by the fact that my max snow depth has not gotten above 7". The lousy December is a big knock on the winter. The end of January cold and this ice storm props the running grade up for me by a partial to whole grade compared to if those things had not occurred, so locally I'd give it a C at this point.
  10. Flake size has picked up with this 30 dbz overhead.
  11. Went from nothing to dumping small flakes in short order. Better returns to the southwest.
  12. Record for IND is 1048.4 on 2/12/1981
  13. I actually had a bloody nose earlier. Coincidence?
  14. Looks like ORD peaked at 1047.4"
  15. Looks like a decent snow on the way for Seattle.
  16. Confirmed tornado now southeast of Vincennes. As usual in setups at this time of year, instability is on the low side but shear isn't.
  17. Should have at least 2 or 3 systems to watch over the next 10 days. Details tbd of course.
  18. Then again, we have the ICON showing this. Imagine if we had a high like this last Thursday morning.
  19. That is a strong high being progged to move through the Lakes this weekend. It's a bit more common to see one of that intensity farther west or north. The all-time high pressure reading for Chicago is 1049.1", which will probably be safe, but not by much.
  20. This has been a weird Nino. Seems like the ocean and atmosphere have had trouble coupling to a great degree.
  21. To quote Jack Buck... I don't believe what I just saw. Beavis, it's obvious you are a die hard winter lover. Truly. It helps to remind yourself that you're still in a more wintry climate than a majority of the US population, even though some areas do a lot better.
  22. The talk about enjoying the current thaw is better off somewhere else. It was moved to banter. As far as the upcoming pattern, it looks like a more moderate brand of cold than what happened recently (almost has to be lol).
  23. Snow is getting nuked with this combination of temps/dews.
