SchaumburgStormer Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 had dreams of a 3" stack of hotcakes and sides of bacon and sausage in the forecast for tomorrow nights dinner.. Woke up to the reality I can't have Gluten and it's the winter of 15/16. At least I'll have Bacon>Snow 2-3" was the early call from NWS when i went to bed. Woke up to - up to 1" How low can we go. This is the most confusingly bizarre post I have read in some time.... Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 1.1". Was still good enough to be the 4th heaviest snowfall of the winter. At least we did better than MLI/DVN where they finished with 0.6/0.8" respectively lol. American models really screwed the pooch on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 2.2" here. Light snow currently. EDIT: intensity ramping up a bit as bands are developing on radar. Fairly picturesque snowfall really. Nice going away present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Where ya headed? Nowhere. I meant as a going way present from/for winter. Decent looking bands popping up on LOT's radar, to my west. Hopefully they survive the trip east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Didn't you just get a good snow a couple days ago lol Meh.. couple 3 hrs of decent snow sandwiched in between old crusty winter of 2015/16 white bread. 2.7" at airport.. forecast 4-8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended with 1.5 inches from 0.16" of precip, so last evening's models actually overcorrected on the dry side. This snowfall brings my season total up to 20.0 inches.

buckeye Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 May as well move to Columbus. Awwwe that's sweet. Since the only thing keeping you from moving to CMH is that we get less snow than you, you should consider moving down here and getting a condo for the winter months in 'Snow Town' midwest, (AKA Glen Ellyn, Illinois).

Hoosier Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 2015-2016 wins again lol. Wasn't thinking this would be a big event - our official forecast yesterday only had 1-3" in most of the metro, 2-4" farther west near I-80/88. Was only focusing on snow impacts to the commute with the WWA that had been issued and that was conveyed in AFD and social media. Still certainly didn't expect the snow to largely be winding down already and that will result in lower totals than forecast and took away justification for why we and DVN had issued an advisory. Bring on the warmth next week. At least Pontiac area got some 4" amounts. Looks like it was a general 2-4" along/south of I-80 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Next system looks to track farther north. Probably far enough south for some scraps down to ORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I knew the 48 hour out forecast would likely bust as model dried. But I was expecting more than 0.2" this morning. One more system to go before the warm up. This one favors far NE IL and eastern WI and most of MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I knew the 48 hour out forecast would likely bust as model dried. But I was expecting more than 0.2" this morning. Seems like it may have shifted south or was just drier than expected on the northern end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
