I wouldn't be surprised if some of you who have continuously gotten snow this week do okay. I'm hoping for an inch. Have yet to see an inch from a single event this week, so it might be a fool's errand. Regardless, it's nice to have snow on the ground and I'm trying to just come to peace with the fact that that's as good as it's going to get this winter.
Away from the lake clouds it has warmed up big time. 18º already, 5º above forecast high. Mid-February sun means business. Excited for tonight. Yes, I'm excited for what will hopefully be at least an inch of fluff tonight.
I like this look. Would be nice if those of us further north finally got in the action. Someone said golden area was north of I-80, but it's especially been good the past two weeks between I-90 and I-80.
Incredibly frustrating to keep barely missing out. Yes, they're minor events, but they add up, as many of you can attest and with this cold and dry pattern, any amount is appreciated.
I could definitely see the band setting up a bit further north, especially the further east you go keeping everything Purdue mentioned in mind. Still won't allow myself to hope for more than an inch at this point. RAP and HRRR have been consistent with some better snows across McHenry and Lake than originally forecasted (marginally).
Just up here waiting impatiently, but happy to hear about the ratios. HRRR and RAP give me reason to be optimistic I can get at least an inch this afternoon. Temp is up to a balmy 8º.
While I definitely prefer more snow than I will get this week, I'll still have a smile on my face since it will feel like winter. #stoptheantiwinterbiasofweatherreporting
I was hoping for 2" yesterday and now I'm hoping for 1" and that seems unlikely. I just want to have enough to shovel and increase the size of my snow piles!
