Tip of the cap to the RGEM/GEM rapFLT_prec_precacc_017.gif Likely will be wrong. No way this first batch puts down 0.20"+ precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 ORD only had .01 precip on the last ob, but you probably can't take ASOS liquid reports seriously on a day like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with the mood flakes and if we somehow pull an inch by the end of it, I consider it a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think we have just as good of a chance of getting shut out. 7˚/-2˚ amongst other things, doesn't bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
