    Someone is snippy after finally getting their first grass-covering snowfall of the season. Probably differing ratios, per usual. Started off as sleet/snow pellets here for a while originally, which didn't help.
  2. Chicago Storm
    LOT had 4.1" off 0.22". So high there as well.
  3. Chicago Storm
    ORD is up to 2.0" thus far. Overall ratio of 18:1 as well, given 0.12" liquid equiv. Highest ratios we've seen in eons. Already a top 5 event on the season.
  4. Chicago Storm
    First and final call 1.0"
  5. Chicago Storm
    No point in discussing, unless you're in MN/WI/MI.
  6. Chicago Storm
    p sad. Per TORD velo, LES band extends from UGN to Schaumburg to Lisle currently. Too bad it's weak.
  7. Chicago Storm
    Down to flurries here, and unlikely to see much more. 2.0” will be the final total. .
  8. Chicago Storm
    1.4” ORD thus far. .
  9. Chicago Storm
    1.7” here. Shall see if we add anything from LE. .
  10. Chicago Storm
    ARW/NMM/NSSL are all onboard with good LES somewhere in the area as well. ARW below... .
  11. Chicago Storm
    Following the HRRR, the RGEM is also going big on the LES... .
  12. Chicago Storm
    First snow of the event finally started about an hour ago. Actually started as sleet, but since changed to snow. Solid dusting so far.
  13. Chicago Storm
    0z HRRR is about as good as it gets on this side of the lake, for lake effect snow duration/quality. Obviously a bit of synoptic snow in the totals below, but most of it is LES. Also, LES is still ongoing, with a re-newed push incoming at the end of the run.
  14. Chicago Storm
    Lake enhancement into the NE. Illinois already...Cook/DuPage/Will Co's.
  15. Chicago Storm
    Light precip is expected to fill in this evening and tonight. That initial push of precip was always going to provide to most organized/heavier snows.
  16. Chicago Storm
    It's actually not terrible. 1-3" area wide at end of most recent run, and still more synoptic and LES to go. Would probably end up 2-5" most of the area.
  17. Chicago Storm
    Drying trend overall on 6z guidance.
  18. Chicago Storm
    We've seen this the past few storm systems...For some reason it is very late in picking up realistic amounts. I'm guess that will be the case once again.
  19. Chicago Storm
    Continuing the trend, the RGEM bumped SE yet again. Drawing closer to finally chalking up an Alek bust high.
  20. Chicago Storm
    Where that main initial push of heavier precip into the colder air sets, up will be the winner. That axis is now consistently being shown from STL up to N. IN. Likely game over up here, with 1-2”. .
  21. Chicago Storm
    D7 call still in play. .
  22. Chicago Storm
    Main trough has been onshore, and is fully sampled. The wave that dives in and phases with the trough is not sampled until tomorrow.
  23. Chicago Storm
  24. Chicago Storm
    Indeed. The UK has been hitting the LE fairly hard on several runs. Edit: Sniped above.
  25. Chicago Storm
    You sure about that? .
