  1. Widespread 2-4" reports in the QC area, as snow comes to an end.
  2. 0.5" at MDW as of noon...Not bad for there actually.
  3. Waves within the mean trough are less strung out, and have more positive interaction.
  4. Yea, that's one issue in this sub-forum. There has been plenty of big events in the region this season, but they've been up north where we have few posters.
  5. Trend the past few runs has actually been less strung out. .
  6. Seeing pictures of ~1” in the PIA area, which bodes well for N IL. .
  7. i’ve said it before and will say it again, please pay my next speeding ticket. i’m due for one. .
  8. Agree. Trend this winter is for a the last wave coming down the backside of the trough to try and dig into the west, and it gets left behind a bit. That is where the GFS went that run. Even the Euro solution, albeit snowy, is also strung out.
  9. better find a ride for tomorrow, slick. .
  10. they don’t even know how to drive in the rain. .
  11. Yea, this shouldn’t be a surprise. First event, even if under criteria, usually gets a headline. If some of the snowier guidance works out, some places will be advisory criteria anyway. .
  12. 1-3” most of the area. Only exception likely to be the heart of metro, with probably a DAB, given slightly warmer temps. .
  13. ORD picked up a late Dec/after Christmas TS before receiving measurable snow. .
  14. Depends on the state of upstream NAO blocking and PV lobe location at the time. Any solution is really plausible at this time. .
  15. PNA/SE ridge is still amped at that point. Doesn't trend downward until after that period.
  16. 47MPH wind gusts at CID as well. That activity is topping out near 30KFT. .
  17. This new pattern we’ve been in for a little over a week now hasn’t been terrible, and has produced before. -PNA/SE ridge just flexed a bit too much, with just a big swing and a miss for those outside of portions of MN/WI/MI, which I mentioned was possible on a previous post. But yea, coming up indices all relax a bit, especially the PNA down the road. So should continue to have opportunity, but hopefully less swing and miss for those looking for action. Shall see. .
  18. GEM is horrid with thermals. We’d see about 30 sub-zero days a winter if it were right. .
