ORD needs 4.1" tomorrow to put this January into the top 10 snowiest. Sitting at 17.4" thru yesterday. Of course it depends if it all falls before the clock strikes midnight tomorrow...and they do really well. Either way, might be a stretch, but not impossible...

1) 42.5" in 1918

2) 40.4" in 1979

3) 33.7" in 2014

4) 32.3" in 1978

5) 29.6" in 1999

6) 28.9" in 1967

7) 27.8" in 2005

8) 26.7" in 1886

9) 24.7" in 1939

10) 21.5" in 2009

Thinking of 3 inches of snow here just ne of Indpls.

NAM is giving you over 2" at 10:1. With temps in single digits at onset, you should fluff up to at least 4". Of course, by the time you get out to measure it Friday morning compaction may already be occurring as temps moderate.  Whatever the amount, a nice little caboose to the clipper train.

Decent shot you bust low.

Agreed. Not even bothering with the models on this. Most of these smaller clippers have overperformed in this regime. LOT pretty much a 1-4 incher from NE to SW which seems prudent. I'll stick with my high end call of 4.1" to show that I'm a half glass full kind of person.

12z NAMs slashing QPF/snow here, so gonna make a call of 1-3" for IKK. Final. Will cap off a pretty decent clipper train for here though. :D 

I just noticed those 12zs. I'm still going with an overperforming, fluff factored 3.2" here.
