    i’m jonesing for a derecho on a 90° evening myself.

    key point: i don't care what you think of me. but, since we're on that, it's clear that others share the same sentiment re: "michigan woe is me". so, thanks for enforcing that even more.

    everyone's favorite past-time.
  4. Chicago Storm
    it has been as advertised.
  5. Chicago Storm
    that’s not how it works.

    The lowest 2-3kft temp/dew point (Wet bulb) levels are into a sub-optimal range. The NAM is colder/drier in the lowest levels, thus has the most snow modeled (Easily).

    Whether or not there’s a storm system in the timeframe in question, that’s happening either way after. This is a one and done shot.

    There’s a very small window of opportunity for a legitimate thread the needle chance, leading into the expected significant Eastern US/Canada troughing. We’ve seen countless opportunities similar that have fallen apart well in advance or just don’t produce. So, I wouldn’t put down any money that it’ll happen, but there’s at least a chance. The OP Euro modeled evolution is essentially the perfect/best case scenario…with the GFS not far off.

    to be fair, ohweather did toss up a post about a week ago regarding things. though, what he mentions is easily 2+ weeks away still.

    slant sticked that rating, for sure.

    C-

    Final event snowfall total of 2.2" at ORD and 2.5" at home. ORD is up to 5.3" of snow on the season now.

    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.
  15. Chicago Storm
    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.

    Solid frontogentic snow band sliding southeastward across Northern Illinois and Eastern Iowa. 2.6” snowfall report northwest of RFD.
  18. Chicago Storm
    saw the lions mentioned in another thread... talk about bad luck.
  19. Chicago Storm
    some would say that it has been great.
  20. Chicago Storm
    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.
  21. Chicago Storm
    never have seen so much BAM talk in a thread before for our parts.
  22. Chicago Storm
    you got it.
  23. Chicago Storm
    some of ya'll need to get a grip.
  24. Chicago Storm
    you really need to try harder with your trolling, otherwise you just look mentally challenged.
  25. Chicago Storm
    there have been plenty.
