When you look at precip type on the GEM, even though it's south, it shows a mix for much of the duration of the storm right along the lake (within 5-10 miles probably).  This is for the Illinois shoreline at least.

 

 

common signal and climatologically likely

Just digging into some finer details, DGZ depth overall doesn't look particularly impressive...not one of those situations where we are dealing with something very thick.  So I think I'd go with average ratios in the ballpark of 10:1 to 12:1, with a possible exception being near Lake Michigan where they may be lower.

I still think it doesn't look too bad and actually pretty solid on some fcst soundings. Here is the 12z GFS for DPA. A good 100-150mb deep in the prime -12 to -18 deg C

I guess I am spoiled by those 300-400 mb whoppers we've seen.  :guitar:

Will be time to start digging into the November snowstorm records over the next couple days as the position of the snow band gets refined.  I posted the one for Chicago yesterday.  I checked Rockford and theirs is 9.5" on November 6-7, 1951.  Whether this ends up being a record breaker for some areas remains to be seen but we appear to be heading toward something pretty unusual at least.

Already started looking into it.
