I'm struggling too believe me. But fr, we look good for at least the grass being covered for next week. And we also at least don't seem to be losing the signal for a shot or two later in the month

If we are not going warning criteria, go for futility. 

the nickel and dimers are preventing that possibility.

Finally looking good for some synoptic snow here. Should see 2 inches or so Friday, more lake showers saturday, then a clipper Monday. Will be nice to lay down a blanket of snow onto the frozen ground as these daily mood flakes and dustings sublimate quickly in the cold dry air.

You can’t make this up. Gaping QPF hole smack over northern Illinois, after two back to back winters of 20” departures

Will be cheering you on from the bone dry hinterlands to the west!

Chicago is bound to get something soon.

I’m at least happy that the Sunday clipper is missing us to the north. That’s more palatable than south and east for some reason.

Doubtful on grass covered.

That’s what we’ve been telling ourselves for 2.5 years

One heckuva synoptic rain event coming for next weekend per the GFS which means a reprieve from cold and dry. Honestly…that’s improvement.

I would worry about ice to our south however with the low level cold from all the snow they’ve had.

Unfortunately this system only clears the table for big cold into the plains so we punt the warm up and reset the pattern.

I'll eat grass if we get a rainer before Jan. 30 out of this pattern.

I wouldn't be worried about an op gfs run 10+ days out, that's for sure.

The grass will be easy to get to at least.
