  1. I wonder what their total would be right now if they didn't have Lake Michigan upwind. Probably be in the same boat as me... i.e. ~9"
  2. Nobody's gonna feel sorry when you're near 47 inches.
  3. That's a good assumption. I can clearly remember some days that produced less around downtown than ORD, and there hasn't really been a lake enhanced event of any significance to make up for that.
  4. Exactly I guess I'll clarify my other post. I do think it's not out of the question for this to produce at least 6" somewhere, but it would require that it's not a strung out piece of garbage to the tune of the 18z NAM. And in that case, the main snow band would likely end up north of Chicago.
  5. I'm not sure there is a feasible way for this to be a 6+ storm in the area. The trough is so positive tilt, which can produce a good snow sometimes, but this is also pretty progressive overall.
  6. Did you see the UKMET? Go start that thread... Chicago gon reel her in
  7. Gotta admit I lol'd at that little montage you put together.
  8. It's 54/5 at Indianapolis. That dewpoint seems low compared to surrounding obs so not sure if it's erroneous but in any case, pretty dry airmass.
  9. I bet that wouldn't even be 2" in Chicago. Mild temps/warm ground leading in would eat away at some of the accumulation in the absence of good rates.
  10. There's your thread the needle for Chicago. Weak ass, but a thread the needle nonetheless.
  11. Canadian probably went too extreme in the other direction.
  12. It can only snow 5.7" the rest of the way to get onto the sub 20" list. 9.8" 1920-21 11.5" 1921-22 12.0" 1936-37 14.3" 1948-49 18.0" 1898-99 18.9" 1924-25 19.0" 1901-02 19.0" 1914-15 19.1" 1912-13 19.8" 2011-12
  13. It's almost unfathomable that I'm going to get through mid February without reaching double digit snowfall. That is very impressive for someone at this latitude who also has Lake Michigan only several miles away. I'm not in the snowbelt, but getting some lake enhancement/lake effect from time to time is not unheard of by any means.
  14. Physically relocate Chicago to central Wisconsin.
  15. One thing this setup has going for it (among others) is the lead system that passes by midweek serves to kickstart the moisture return process from the GOM. The cold front with that lead system may only settle down into the central parts of IL/IN/OH. We are still limited by time of year, so don't expect outrageous dews too far north, but this particular evolution with the preceding system means they will be higher than they otherwise would've been.
  16. It's impressive to see a day 6 risk area outlooked into southern Indiana, given the usual reluctance of SPC to place a day 6 (or even day 4-5) risk area in this sub at this time of year.
  17. The CFS from that site did well with flagging our warmth in the month of January.
  18. That's more of a problem for long-lasting snow retention or when rates are too light. Heavy enough rates will overcome the sun angle in March, April, and even May if it were to snow hard enough.
