  1. There is some pretty stout WAA with the system Thursday night/Friday. Could be a nice burst of precip.
  2. Pattern is a gamble if it flexes too much. But you would probably want to roll the dice considering how things have gone so far.
  3. Will have to keep an eye on that to see if it holds/expands. Could cause dryline setups to get farther east in spring.
  4. You guys have a good point. It feels extreme when you're in the middle of such a run, but it helps to take a step back and look at a longer period of time. That being said, without actually checking, I suspect the number of double digit storms in the past several years around here is higher than usual. I can think of at least 5 off the top of my head just since 2016. I hope it we don't go on like a 10 year run without one at some point lol
  5. I didn't have fire effect snow on my bingo card.
  6. I touched on this a bit in the storm thread, but not sure I have ever seen a run of feast or famine to this extreme. I've now had three 11-13" snowstorms in practically 1 year (since 1/31/2021). That is not normal at all. Even 2 in that timeframe would be impressive. But the lean times have been brutal, with December being a virtual no-show and a large part of January not producing much snow. I actually like this kind of thing, but just wish December wouldn't be so brutally boring.
  7. We had practically identical totals... almost down to the tenth.
  8. I'm glad to get the storm and don't mean to sound ungrateful, but this was probably about the most disappointing foot-ish storm that I can recall. A lot of potential was left on the table. What could've been if the waves overlapped more perfectly (and with a better main system) as originally progged.
  9. After thinking about it for a minute, I believe I gave too high of a number. Probably closer to 20 times.
  10. I used to have the stat but don't anymore. I'm guessing probably close to 25. That is 12" storms, so includes events that occurred over more than one day.
  11. Went out and measured a few minutes ago. Combining that and the measurement from this morning brings me to 11.4". Hoping there is just enough left in the tank from lake effect and/or system snow tomorrow to crack a foot. I think I will comment more on this in the banter thread, but it feels like we are sort of becoming a poor man's east coast winter climate lately.
  12. That means ORD is up to 21.6" on the season. Average to date is 21.8", so basically there. And lake effect should push them above average tomorrow, at least for a little while.
  13. I'm gonna measure in a couple hours, but that seems like a decent estimate.
  14. LOT is gonna have to extend the warning or switch over to advisory for Cook and possibly some adjacent areas to account for the lake snows.
  15. HRRR is probably a little off its rocker with the magnitude of LES, but warming up to the idea of somebody in Cook county getting over 6" of LES. Parameters aren't as good as last time but the duration should help compensate.
  16. Hoping the lake can help give a boost with low level moisture/saturation around here tomorrow even with the lake effect band itself looking to be primarily west. Low level flow is still onshore to some extent.
  17. Please let the lake band hang around western Lake co IN longer than progged. Thx
  18. Any thoughts on the northern end for tomorrow? I pulled some forecast soundings locally and there's a pesky dry layer around 900-850 mb, but most of the rest of the column is moist/almost saturated. Obviously wherever the lake effect band is would help.
  19. DOOM put out a morning update at LOT and mentioned 2-5" of lake effect in favored areas.
  20. Lovely sight out there. Still have trees and stuff pasted but there's quite a bit of blowing snow too. Actually more blowing than I thought there would be at this point.
  21. Good paste job going here attm with temp still at freezing.
  22. Guess I gotta look at the radar again or confirm exactly where DPA is. It looked like there were >20 dbz returns there about 10 minutes ago.
