  1. A combo of pea size graupel and 1” flakes right now in this bright band. About 1/8SM vis and gusting to about 40MPH. .
  2. Event is already going to be ending within an hour or so around here. .
  3. There have been a few instances of TSSN out towards the Lee/DeKalb Co border the past hour or so. .
  4. Went from nothing to solid SN and white ground here within about 15 minutes. .
  5. Indeed. 2” soil temp still in the upper 30’s here, and probably a bit higher down there...So I’d imagine any accretion is on elevated/colder surfaces. .
  6. Can see CC quickly crashing east on KLOT and SE a bit on ILX. Probably all snow to near I-39 now, north of I-80. .
  7. I’ve been pretty much think 1-3” for the CWA along and north of I-80. However, I fully agree that there is much more upside potential. If thermals work out as the GFS/RAP and others show, definitely could see an axis of 3-6”+ into the CWA. .
  8. With colder air not filtering in until right before things are getting going, there isn’t going to be sufficient time for the already mild surfaces/ground to catch up. Add in that’s it’s noting going to get colder than the upper 20’s most likely either. Maybeee elevated surfaces towards the end, but that’s a stretch depending on how long precip actually lasts.
  9. I'd just about totally discount the FZRA threat, and I'm not big on the sleet potential either. Probably will be a mostly snow or rain event.
  10. Un-Warned tor north of Shallowater, TX a bit ago... .
  11. Looks like the question isn’t if it’s going to snow Sun night-Mon, but how much... .
  12. Parts of the area had 50-60MPH wind gusts last night. Peaks were 60MPH at UGN and 55MPH at ORD. .
  13. 69 at ORD. Tied the record high for the date (1974). .
  14. that was literally answered in his post. .
  15. The HRRR has done very well since we flipped to the milder pattern. Has hit on just about every warmer day thus far around here. So I’d say ride it... .
  16. GFS upgrade is still scheduled for March 17th, per latest update. .
  17. NWS is sliding further into the dumpster as time goes on. .
  18. 59 at ORD and 60 at MDW today. Early-mid next week will easily top those numbers, but currently warmest since mid-November. .
