  1. The snow overnight into today is from a separate disturbance. ORD is up to 0.5” as of 6AM. .
  2. Yea, the northern LOT CWA/Chicago suburbs say hi.
  3. That will end up being the final storm snowfall total. Snow has been steadily melting, with the depth down to 2.0" now.
  4. It’s actually wetter than the previous run. .
  5. Appears to be the case further north, but not further south. .
  6. Snow has begun to spread into the Chicago metro area. 1-3” on the way area wide.
  7. Not to be a killjoy for those in the main axis across portions of IL/IN/OH/MI, but I wouldn't put too much stock in this snow maps showing a wide axis of 6-12" amounts. Most foreign guidance is a drier/less snowy than American guidance. We've seen that battle many times in the past, and know how it often plays out. Would lean towards a solid corridor of 2-5" to 4-7" in the main axis, locally higher.
  8. ILX has been doing some good things recently, on top of that Twitter thread.
  9. The next potential of interest. A wave comes into the PAC NW and then quickly moves east across the CONUS, in the vicinity of a tight baroclinic zone. The key will be not having the wave shear out too quickly. .
  10. Kuchera will be the way to go over 10:1 in this case.
  11. Snow has been burst-y much of the night and into this morning/afternoon around here. Looks like around 1.5” here at home. ORD had 0.9” as of 6AM. No word on what final total is there, though. Edit: An additional 0.6” at ORD as of noon, for a likely final total of 1.5”
  12. Pattern continues to look solid, as we have shifted from long range/ENS range to more short and mid range. Winter lovers can’t ask for more right now. .
  13. probably roughly in the 8-12” range, give or take a bit. .
  14. just can’t get into this one without at least medium dog potential. .
  15. Not only does the main closed wave location factor in, but phasing/shearing with additional waves diving SE in the trough are a significant thing to watch in the coming days as well. .
