  1. 6.8” ORD thus far. 6.0” RFD and 7.4” MDW. .
  2. 9z RAP has around 0.50” for metro as well, after 12z. .
  3. 4.5” at ORD thus far. 4.5” here, 5.3” MDW, 5.5” RFD and 6.6” at LOT. .
  4. Lake enhancement showing up fairly well now across SE WI and NE IL, from about Port Washington down to Waukegan. It's evident when lighter synoptic returns are in the area, and heavier returns are limited to within a county of the lake.
  5. ORD is somewhere over 3" thus far. Up over 3" here as well.
  6. Just went out for a drive, and conditions were as expected. Probably the best period of snow I've see since the Nov 25-26th 2018 winter storm, and before that back in 2015.
  7. 4" was the starting point today. Which means there was a max depth of 4.4" prior to this event.
  8. That is snow depth, including what was previously on the ground.
  9. KORD 310251Z 10015G22KT 1/2SM R10L/5000V6000FT SN FZFG VV006 M01/M03 A2987 RMK AO2 PK WND 11027/0154 SLP121 DRSN SNINCR 1/7 P0005 60008 T10111028 58009
  10. Snow is definitely blowing around more and not sticking to objects as expected. Even with that, it's definitely not a fluffy snow either.
  11. It's been snowing in the 88/355 area for a while now, so unlikely that far east.
  12. I'd lean no, but the quick start to 2" certainly helps.
  13. Not with the R/S line flying northeastward, and about to pass town.
  14. Obviously has been just about all snow in much of the Chicago metro thus far, but the R/S line is finally crashing south of RFD and west towards Rt 47, for other portions of the LOT CWA.
  15. Heavier precip steadily/rapidly pushing northward into Chicago metro now.
  16. It's not subsidence. More of the issue with drier air flowing in from the east across NE IL. Further west across the DVN this issue doesn't exist, due to less dry air at the start.
  17. ORD dropped from 34 to 30 as the snow has started.
