    Good luck, hope you guys can get a warning event out of this. Tonight's runs give hope we can muster a few inches out of this, which would be a pretty big win after many of the runs previously. Getting overdue for a dog here. Last 7"+ event was back in Nov '18. Max event during 19-20 was 5.8", max event for 20-21 was 6.3", max so far this season 5.0".

    New winter weather advisory stops 5 miles west of here lol. Despite the 18z NAM weenie run I'm still gonna be a scrooge and say we get shut out. Very well could be a situation where we get zilch while the QC gets 3-4". Good chance at a sharp cutoff on the eastern edge. If it ends up being that close I'm blasting west into that shit tomorrow evening lol.

    Man this is crazy, visibility right now is probably only a few hundred feet. The sky directly overhead now has some blue in it, and the sun is very dimly visible. Guessing this fog is extremely shallow now, yet it is about as dense as fog can get. About 5 miles west of here near the county border according to satellite it's totally clear.

    13 degree difference now between MLI and here, as we are still socked in with <1/4 mile in fog @ 30 vs 43 and sunny at MLI. The back edge of the fog looks like it's only a few miles west of here now, so could be a dramatic change within the hour.

    Been socked in with very dense fog much of the morning. Kind of a strange, isolated pocket of fog. Not too far to the west in the QC they are sunny at both DVN and MLI. Visibility here is probably under a quarter mile atm.

    After tomorrow and Saturday's event (which I really hope finally gives the Ohio peeps the big snow they deserve) the next system looks like a clipper next Tues/Weds. Looks like that one skirts through the lakes and leaves areas to the south high and dry. The Euro looks like it wants to blow up something pretty decent waaaay off around the day 10 time frame (lol). This would be on the leading edge of the major arctic push that some have already talked about here.

    Less than 30hrs out from the event now, and the models range from nothing to 4" here. Precip shield will prob struggle against dry flow from the east/northeast, so I'm gonna guess that we receive nothing. Interestingly some models have shown a few lake effect snow showers making it this far southwest. It's pretty rare, but it has happened before. A few evening lake effect flurries may be the highlight of this 'event' here.

    They do well once firmly established since they have a very aggressive root system. The first few years they'll def need a little help though if it gets droughty, which if Hoosier is right it will this year lol.

    Pretty good so far, didn't grow much this past warm season which is to be expected. Should do better this year, and really take off next year. It's a zone 4 (minimum) tree so it should be okay even with the cold we can get here.

    Have a few zone 5 trees I kind of wanted to see if they could take a hard winter. Guess this will be a good test for them lol. Map says we're in zone 5A, but due to how we can really bottom out here in the RR valley I think it's more like zone 4B here.

    Kind of seems like it. Sort of a poor man's version of last season's mega-glacier from multiple heavy sleet/freezing rain events lol.
  12. cyclone77
    40 here, and still holding onto a good 3" of snow at this point.
  13. cyclone77
    The massive snow event in March that melts 2 days later will be worth the wait.
  14. cyclone77
    For us northern IL peeps I guess we'll catch the next storm, whenever that may be lol.

    Looking forward to the dog turd duster Thu morning.

    Anything that tries to phase would prob be another MSP special. Rain showers and dry slot for us lol.

    Wagons west. I'll be happy to squeeze a fresh inch of powder out of this after the abysmal look to the medium range just a few short days ago.

    This one is still alive because I said earlier today that it would be a one run wonder. Jinx worked, you can submit royalties to my venmo account at your convenience.

    The snow has a shine to it now from last night's glazing. No more blowing snow from here on out. Euro tries to get a clipper system in here next weekend, but has the look of a one run wonder. My hunch is it will be a Michigan special on the next run.

    On the SPC past events page the original day 3 is gone, as only the updated midday day3 update shows up. Was hoping to go back and have a laugh at that original day3 but it's been edited out of existence, at least on the SPC past events page.
