Ended up with a decent little glaze at ORD. ASOS reported 0.05” of ice. Got home and had an hour-long burst of SN/+SN, which totaled 1”. Increased forcing and lake enhancement combo leading to solid returns around the MKE area currently. This should translate southward into the Chicago area for a few hour period this morning.
Brief burst of +SN here at ORD with this WAA wing of precip moving through, which produced a quick 0.5" of accumulation.
It has since turned over to -FZRASN, with a light glaze of ice on colder objects.
many years ago, we’d have threads for some of the clippers/hybrids that some have already seen. like the one today/tomorrow, for example. so, it may very well be one of the latest for that sole reason.
the key here is, if neither i nor ohweather are talking up something interesting, there's nothing to see for our region.
sure, there's thread the needle patterns here and there, but many of you want more than that.
Nice Arctic front event last evening.
Ended up with a peak wind gust of 51MPH at ORD, with a snow squall that just brushed the airport, producing 0.2" of snowfall accumulation.
