The track was much more favorable a few days ago or so before the big jump south. GEFS has been nudging north the last few runs. Latest GFS is a nudge back south. Still a long ways off, though.

Chicago Storm Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ended up with 0.5" of snow here Sunday night/Monday morning, on the backside of the last system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 A day full of mood flakes. Always nice to see with xmas music playing in the background at work. Snowed enough to whiten the pavement a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Temp made it to 38 today. Was enough to melt quite a bit of snow. Down to about 1-2" now, with large patches of grass showing in the usual places that melt first. Was nice to see the sun again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow has literally fallen and 18 days already this season and I met a total of 6.1" lol. And by the way I've been listening to Christmas music since November 1st.

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Light snow cover from yesterday in Central IL/IN/OH and still a bit of old snowcover hanging on NW of the IL river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 With the fresh 1” snowfall yesterday, temperatures plunged last night all the way down to 8 degrees. Had horrendous freezing fog this morning, but man did it setup for a beautiful morning! Trees plastered with snow, and extra frosty. Looks really cool. Storm next week looks warm. Really hope this winter doesn’t blow its load by the second week of January and poof it’s gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Lol snow has fallen on 5 of the first 8 days of December but we are 0.1" total. I've now had snowflakes fall on 20 days this season already, but am only at 6.2" and have really not had to shovel at all. Only one time, and that was not necessary as it mostly melted later that day. What an odd start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Got down to 12 this morning. Hard to believe it's already been 2 weeks since the blizzard. Still have a good 1-2" of cover over most of the yard, with bare areas in the usual spots. Temps look to go above freezing for the next several days, so it looks like we'll be back to bare ground/remaining piles by later in the week. Really feel fortunate to have had such a sustained cover for so early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatest accumulation: 0.5". Looking forward to a cold rain later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Will be interesting to see if ORD has a snowier November than December. November had 12.7" and December has had 0.3" so far. Still a lot of time to go but the bulk of any rallying appears like it would have to occur in the last 7 to 10 days of the month. A snowier November than December has happened 16 times in Chicago weather records, and 4 times since the official observation site moved to O'Hare (1986, 2004, 2014, 2015) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We've had freezing fog here in central IN in recent nights/early mornings and it is predicted again this Sunday night. Does make for slick roads if it forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be yet another year where Nov and Dec decide to trade places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 One of the biggest temperature spreads I can remember seeing around here (when a front isn't involved). Look at the difference between KGYY and KIGQ... 9 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 At about 35" for the year, but almost all of that came late November, have about 5" on the ground but will probably be gone by next week. Long range looking pretty ugly for the next couple weeks horrible pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hit 39 before sunrise. Very little of the remaining snow has melted the past few days despite the above freezing temps. Still a good 1-2" remains. The extreme density of the bottom layer of snow definitely gave it some serious staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Freezing drizzle and fog overnight... temp hanging around the 30 degree mark. Forecasted high of 34 will mark the first time above freezing since the 24th of last month. Another week or so of ho-hum then a more wintry pattern, hopefully.

michsnowfreak Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The last 2 decembers we were rolling in snow. What a boring slap in the face after a snowy November. Hopefully this ends quickly around Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
