Aiming to get into Elmhurst before those returns running up I-80 around Joliet make it up. Let's shed some daylight on that.

Izzi/Castro AFD is a treat. Describing among other things the "double barrel" low pressure early this morning, with the southern Missouri LP and its likely devolution "later today into more of an inverted trough" amid the overall deepening cyclone.

Always nice to see.

Had high hopes with the "fast start" overnight but after all was settled I arrived to 3.5" at home. My tire tracks in the 2" this morning were still evident. Measured 4" closer to Woodstock. Certainly not our first Winter Storm Warning to miss the cut. Rippage by O'Hare this afternoon was great.

About 2" Schools closed (for expected conditions later on).

I remember it and it was the best. Let's send him off with an all-timer.

Same with the 7-15 P&C. Came together nicely since this morning. More snow from this past weekend on the ground in west burbs than back home (little to none here). Probably won't make a huge difference in the accumulations but would be nice to have that starter layer in place to maximize the early potential with temperatures a few degrees above freezing yet.

Rip First winter in the new neighborhood a few miles north of town. Old farm field. Up on a hill. Should be a blast regardless but what a ceiling.

Super bummed. Trying to think back to when I connected with John's site - probably around 2000 - was such a window to the UP, meteorology, snowmobiling and then, as he was the snow man, it was magic. We enjoyed one of his snowmobile Ride In Make-a-Wish fundraising events probably 17ish years ago. That weekend in Houghton and on the Keweenaw, we met people from all over and local business owners out at their places on the trails in such a unique way. I know those events were a team effort with friends of John and the site but it would have never happened without him. What an ambassador he was.

Solid rates under the band. Roads are that slush/snow cover in-between.

Cats and dogs out there

Recon that Special Marine Warning.

Seems like lake breeze boundary remnants interacting with that WAA wing on the IL northern tier now. Watching action moving northeast a bit..

Nary a sprinkle

I like the odds of that Wisconsin SVR watch getting flexed east to the shoreline.

There you go Malacka

Clear sky just west.

Reel it

It's a beaut.

State line special coming in hot.

What an evening.

Looking south at the Lyons cell from south of O'Hare.

Garbage air

How's the corn holding up in back?
