    Low temp of -11 at ORD this morning. The daytime high temp was limited to -4, but the actual high for the day was 5 at midnight. The peak wind chill was -36.

    The whole thing is a shit show, quite honestly. I get what they are doing and why they are doing it. However, your new model system (RRFS/REFS) really should be much better than your old model system (NAM/SREF), which hasn't had an upgrade in many years.

    solid assessment, as always. are you still at cle?
  4. Chicago Storm
    the run-to-run changes 'under the hood' aloft are fun to watch on any given model. see the nam 12z vs 18z, just as a recent example. really struggling to resolve things.
  5. Chicago Storm
    i have some bad news.
  6. Chicago Storm
    that idea is already a bust, since all other guidance caved to the gfs.

    I've sat on this one for a while now, trying to decide. The only two options I could come up with were the blizzard of '99 and GHD1. The choice of GHD1 seems easy to me. I feel I'd be able to enjoy it more at this point in life, plus it was more significant in many aspects.

    doubtful. not enough snow-cover.
  9. Chicago Storm
    didn't have you turning into beavis on my bingo card.

    where? there’s gonna be a foot of snow downstate. that’s not an east coast pattern.
  11. Chicago Storm
    the show had been over up here, but surprised to see the gfs clean house to this degree.

    i have beach-front property to sell you in idaho. new/current home is in north aurora.
  13. Chicago Storm
    even portions of the metro too. i'm closing in on 30" on the season at home. back at good ole ex-home, there's a few inches on the ground currently.
  14. Chicago Storm
    good times around here.
  15. Chicago Storm
    would that make them inept?
  16. Chicago Storm
    it's more phased and put together out west (compared to all other guidance), as ejection of the southern wave occurs. likely classic nam shenanigans.
  17. Chicago Storm
    ngl, it would be nice to have one last amped nam run verify, before it's decommissioned (likely in march). now is it's moment.

    if only we had a good prairie dog population.

    the funny thing is, re: all of the complaining locally about the current winter... this is the coldest and snowiest winter we've had in years. we've surpassed seasonal snowfall totals for the winters of 2024/25, 2023/24 and 2022/23 already, and it's only mid-january.
  20. Chicago Storm
    the lake setup isn't all that impressive, tbh.
  21. Chicago Storm
    it's not affecting things, contrary to what many thing.
  22. Chicago Storm
    sounds like you should move.
  23. Chicago Storm
    Dusted again as a result of the clipper last evening... Final snowfall totals 0.8" - ORD 0.7" - RFD …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 24.2" - ORD 23.9" - RFD
  24. Chicago Storm
    Show is over around here. Really needed the northern stream waves and TPV arm in Central/Western Canada to be placed a bit further west. So close, yet so far.
  25. Chicago Storm
    we were this close to a ghd 1 setup this weekend…
