Chicago Storm Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 A dusting to 1.5" of snow is still on tap area wide through the morning, with the disturbance/storm system moving through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Picked up about a half inch of snow here. Ripped pretty good for about a half hour, then had rain mix in for about an hour and melted most of the snow, but now has snowed hard enough to re-dust up the ground again.

I think there are a lot of unrealistic expectations for December. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good sign for snow this year in the Lower GL It was a nuisance mist with some wet snowflakes. A misty drizzly 37° day in early Dec has no more bearing on this winter than the 25° and fluffy snow did a week ago. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more concerned with the fact that a certain type of storm system that usually brings a very cool airmass behind it completely lacked one. Not a great sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Lots of mood flakes mixed with rain at times today, no accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Exciting times ahead in South Bend... Much colder air will spread over the area Monday. Temperatures are likely to fall below freezing during the day as brief but intense synoptic lift moves over the area. 850 mb temperatures should fall to around -12C with lake delta T values approaching 20C. Lowered temperatures Monday. Brief but intense lake enhanced and banded snow is likely. Snow accumulation may exceed 1" and cause traffic impacts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Would be truly grateful if this verified. NWS thinks a general 2-4” is on the table for areas downwind of the lake on Monday/Monday night. Experience says someone under a dominant band will get more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the forecast trajectories, I'm liking where I sit for some LES/Enhancement down this way. An inch or two would be nice in this otherwise "normal" December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 ^ and I'll gladly take those flurries shown out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 It reflects the same dying eastern flank/band that falls apart as it heads south over SEMI like with the Halloween system. Like nature said "let's cue-up a near carbon copy event". Perhaps I'll score the same 2/10ths 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 Sneaky potential across portions of IA/IL/MO/WI the next few days…A big gyre-y mess of a nearly stacked low moving through the region, with several vorts/disturbances spiraling around it. Should see a few distinct time periods with rain/snow potential. First across MO/IL Wednesday morning through Thursday morning, and then across WI/IL/IA Thursday morning through Friday morning. Both periods look likely to feature minor snowfall accumulation for some areas.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The metro is out of the game most likely. The occluding-stacked low is wrapping in a tongue of mild temps, enhanced by the mild lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 Someone around the MO/IL border area (Near STL) is going to end up with advisory level snow accumulation when all is said and done with this first wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a little snow falling now but that area will shift west of us to the areas you mentioned. This time Lake Michigan isn't the best climo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Overachiever here in Madison due to changeover not occurring as quickly as expected. Totals won't be super impressive but it was ripping fatties for most of the morning. That and a loose dog on the westbound Beltline Highway (variously US 12/14/18/151 across the south edge of the city) made the commute a nightmare.https://www.wmtv15news.com/2023/12/28/dog-stops-traffic-beltline-literally/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
