tuanis Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Nice to have a cold column and surface temps for once. Felt like every event last year was a drippy slush fest. I know that’s going to change this afternoon, but dammit I’ll enjoy it for now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads have been a mess with at least two crashes closing I-94 between Madison and Milwaukee for long stretches of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascy619 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 4" of wet heavy snow here in Eastern WI this morning, starting to switch over to rain now. Great to see the white gold again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiTownSnow Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Exceeded expectations. Let's hope it's good Omen for this winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Got very lucky (for this area) as a small area of snow set up this morning and hung around for a few hours. Some HI-Rez models did hinted at it. Definitely not what WI into IL are getting but definitely enjoyable to see snow falling most of this morning!! Great to see snow in the lower lakes area. Enjoy WI and IL peeps!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 Not bad at all for the first snow of the season. Whipping winds and low visibility. Top notch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Chicago NWS UPDATE... Issued at 1127 AM CST Thu Nov 21 2024 Just a note on forecast expectations into this afternoon. Recent reports indicate up to 3" of snow in Lake and Cook Counties, with moderate to heavy snow continuing to fall, including 1/4 mile visibility at KMDW as of this writing. Also seeing less than 1/4 mile visibilty at KGYY and KIGQ. A look well upstream shows primarily snow hanging on up until central Wisconsin, where the transition to light rain and drizzle has taken place from a combination of warming temps and decreasing cloud ice. The overall trend is a slower rise in temps over the next couple hours and correspondingly the ptype transition taking a bit longer as well. Warming cloud tops punching south from southeast Wisconsin will steadily diminish snowfall rates into the Chicago metro, and then bring the anticipated changeover to light rain and drizzle in the 2-3pm timeframe. While snow will hang on a bit longer than earlier forecasts, little (up to a couple tenths) to no additional accumulation is expected after noon for most of the Chicago metro. Thus, not currently seeing any reason to change the advisory end time of 1pm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Lake and Cook Counties will definitely be the winner with this, where that better banding has been in place for longer. May be able to add DuPage County into that as well.A bit further west, a little over 1” here so far in North Aurora (I moved from Naperville in September). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Temp has bumped up to around freezing and rates have dropped off - we’re probably done accumulating. Unscientific slant-sticking technique yields around 4” including almost an inch last night. Great kickoff to winter! Gotta love dogs in snow. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Can’t underestimate solid rates and early winter sun angle, even in the furnace that is downtown. Roads are clear now but earlier today I hadn’t seen Wacker this bad in years 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
