Looks like I will end up with just under a half inch at best here in Southern Ford Co from this after the 3-5” forecast was looking pretty solid early this morning. Very disappointing but after the past two bad winters I try not to let anything phase me anymore haha The biggest thing is that it looks dry after this for a good bit which isn’t ideal. Onto the next.

Good to hear! It’s trying it’s best imby, just small flurries at the moment

It sure is, I’m about 8 miles too far north, have yet to see a single flake today

Congrats to all who cashed in today! Looks like dry air will be the winner imby, may be able to still manage to scrape out an inch tonight but we’ll see

Yeah this dry air is BRUTAL, checked in on a friend who lives in Champaign and he says it’s snowing like crazy there

That’s good to hear! Hopefully the northern edge can get just north enough for me here in a couple hours, going to be very very close

Been noticing an area of lower totals that have been continuing to show up on multiple models now in East/NE Illinois, anyone know the reason that could be? Perhaps significant dry air getting into the system that models are picking up on?

I feel ya, i’m in the same boat, I’m back at home for Christmas Break about 30ish miles north of Champaign and the cutoff is insane, a 20 mile shift north/south could mean the difference between nothing and the biggest snowfall i’ve had since Feb 2022, we’re gonna be stressing it out together lol Will be interested very soon when we can start seeing actual observations and comparing them to the modeling

That definitely worries me as well being on the northern edge. At least it didn’t go any further south. I’ll take any small victory I can get haha

12z Euro seems to have upped snow totals some thru South/Central Illinois compared to the 0z, looks to be a touch north as well

Same here, just yesterday afternoon I was starting to get excited, I fell for it again

Euro vs GFS it looks like, who’s gonna win out? (it’ll be the Euro unfortunately)

First Winter Storm Watches have been issued in Eastern KS for this storm

I would think so, if not it’s very close

The little wave which moved thru Central IL today significantly overachieved, local Met called for up to an inch today, I am sitting at 3.3” imby That’ll hold me over for a bit while we head into the 40s with rain this weekend into next week
