From the wife. Lakeshore East. Edit: From the ground to the branches on those trees is about 3 feet. I'd estimate well over 20" on the ground based on this picture.

Wow

Very pro MDW beating out ORD. Let the little guy have a win

Very N/S orientation of the LE band. Benefitted areas near the lake like Uptown and Lakeview up north and areas just inland towards southern Cook like MDW. Actually not hearing much from downtown, but the wife is a questionable source...

This thing just parked over the northside

Look at that classic Chicago architecture

Can't believe i'm missing this haha. Oh well

Think Uptown is new Mt. Geos fo sho

Looks like that band shifting back south slowly

My wife says total whiteout downtown

Good luck to you guys. We’ve got a measeley 3-6” on the way here. Hitting the slopes tomorrow

Anyone see natural gas prices? OK next day traded $450/mmbtu

What’s your depth in uptown right now? I imagine in the loop we were close to 20” after yesterday

That’s a cool stat

That’s what I mean. Immediate lake influence does make a difference, at least in my experience living in Chicago

Your climo is better in November and December and worse in Jan and Feb, that’s how it goes

I think the warning text is appropriate and will sufficiently notify the public of what’s coming. When I get back to Chicago we’ll likely be near if not exceeding a 40” depth. Wild

Can’t believe I’m gonna miss this one!

I feel compelled to post the weeniebell kuchera if nothing else to archive

Sorry for the ignorance, but at what point would a lake effect snow warning be more appropriate than a WSW?

6-12”

Pet peeve #2

Pet peeve

I wouldn’t be surprised to see some 14” reports but that’ll be the exception more than the rule, hence the 6-12” call
