I would think 30 cm is more likely on ground by Friday, especially factoring in sublimation and compaction between events. 60 cm would be heavenly but I would be surprised.

My guess is 20 cm of snow from today's event, 10 cm on Friday. Maybe I'm pessimistic, but we've been screwed by overblown Kuchera rates before (even if we're in prime dendrite growth zone thermally, seen far too many rod events when I was hoping for dendrites). And the Thursday night system looks like a classic coastal capture - we'll see how far west the snow shield penetrates, but again wouldn't be surprised to see less-than-ideal snow ratios, especially with such dry air on the doorstep to eat away at that moisture.

Yup, I'll second those amounts.  Seems perfectly reasonable.

Interesting line in the metar.  I'm guessing present weather drifting snow?

How do we read this?  1 inch last hour, 16 snow depth?

Heavy band incoming. Shits the real deal boys, this storm is so fun. Grabbing my AirPods and walking again. 
 

Giddy doesn’t begin to explain my excitement. I’m on a high right now. 

You've also had 5 IPA's already. Lol, just kidding. Enjoy the walk. Happy to see you taking this all in. :D

Is DRSN supposed to be in a different portion of the METAR? I've seen it put there in the MDW METARs this winter.

It was placed in remarks as it should be and coded correctly, but “Present Wx” was not supposed to be in there ahead of it.
