Is IND and DVN crazy with their warnings, or are the IL mets not going far enough south? It's weird seeing warnings pushed up against against the Hazardous Weather Outlooks.

 

ILX has issued a WWA. Not showing up on their website yet.

Since 10" is at least within the realm of possibility for Chicago, here are the 10"+ storms to occur in the month of March. It has been 43 years since the last one but as always these are just the totals for whatever the official site was at the time.

March 23-24, 1897: 10.0 inches

March 30-31, 1926: 12.6 inches

March 25-26, 1930: 19.2 inches

March 7-8, 1931: 16.2 inches

March 2-3, 1954: 11.8 inches

March 25-26, 1970: 14.3 inches

 

Wow, been 43 years since it's happened!

Yeah, it doesn't look like all snow here in CMH, but certainly at least 6" which I'll take in a heartbeat! 

 

I'm prepared for anything.... and expecting nothing. This could be a memorable late season crusher, (very typical for cmh to have biggest snow occur in march/april)...or it could be one of those deals where a stubborn pocket of warm air parks itself over us and everyone around is getting slammered and we are getting slushy rain, (also very typical).

 

Haven't invested much in this one with the time of year and the very short shelf life with whatever does fall. Just sitback and watch it unfold and enjoy.

Some nice moves north for NE IL on the 18z runs. Geos feeling better no doubt.

 

Yeah a bit better, especially since MKX didn't trim warnings all the way to the border. Going to be close for Brewers in Racine I think.

 

Grid has 4-10" right now.

Well at least one of us will do well with this storm... so still a half victory for the OH crew (minus NEOH)
