  1. Additional waves of -SN the rest of Friday added up to an additional 0.9”. So for the day on Friday, total snowfall accumulation was 1.3” at ORD. That’s a two day (Thur/Fri) snowfall total of 1.7” at ORD. .
  2. On that note, warm air occlusion and 925mb winds of 65-75KT on the W/NW side of the storm system. About as a significant solution you can see around these parts. Check out some soundings west of the storm system as well, tropopause down to near 700mb.
  3. still a significant solution though, nonetheless. very spread the wealth too, actually. nearly no shot in hell that would verify, but even enough for me to comment on it at this distance.
  4. i'm surprised there wasn't more mention of the 12z euro than there has been.
  5. Added another 0.1" during the later evening yesterday, for a snowfall total of 0.4" at ORD yesterday. Already 0.4" of snow at ORD so far today as of noon, with some decent waves/bursts of snow moving through, with move on the way throughout the day.
  6. Vertically stacked low, from the surface up to above 250mb, spinning over the MSP area. .
  7. A period of -SN this afternoon/evening here at ORD, with snowfall total for the day of 0.3" thus far. Additional periods of -SN between now and tomorrow night should lead to additional dustings.
  8. The main wave is currently located within a large trough, off the coast of Japan. Also add in the countless other pieces/players still in flux. Good luck figuring things out for several days yet.
  9. Very similar event to last Friday, with roads plowed/plows in action from basically northern McHenry County on up. don't mind him. he was trying to back-hand troll a previous comment of mine, which is still stands correct.
  10. Vis was as low as 1SM for a time, but generally 1 1/4SM here.
  11. TSSN SE of the Quad Cities, near Kewanee. .
  12. Quite the pattern across the country this evening... Broad trough across the Inter-Mountain West and Central US, with a vertically stacked low centered in Sioux Falls area. You can see the next wave on WV imagery in the vicinity of Arkansas this evening, already amplifying as it goes negative tilt, with a nice divergent flow aloft as well.
  13. Depends what forecast you were following. In this case it is a different setup overall. The last event featured WAA for the duration of the event, while with this event there will be some CAA. In any case, it will be a situation where the closer to the border you are, the better the chance. Not expecting any snow in the metro at this point.
  14. congrats on the move to mke. didn’t catch you as a city guy. .
