@Rontuner yikes! That sounds awful!!

3 tunings scheduled tomorrow - let's see if I make any of them!

I predict tomorrow will be a soup day for us Chicagoans.

Snow rates in excess of 3 inches per hour will cripple travel, including during the Monday morning commute. Strong northerly wind gusts in excess of 30 mph will lead to greatly reduced visibility, especially near the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Periods of thundersnow will occur, as well.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Lake effect snow is often very localized, with conditions varying from safe to dangerous across just a few miles. Snow totals in the Winter Storm Warning area may vary considerably from one location to the next.

soup day

Is this a common expression? What does it mean?

I made it up.

Cold and snow. Batten down the hatches. Make soup.

Interesting coincidence.

It is 85/65 today and going to be 63/45 tomorrow.

The cooler weather is finally here.

Had neighbors from Chicago in my second winter in Colorado. They would have drinks and watch the news for Chicago weather and loudly celebrate being in nicer weather. They drank, I mean celebrated, a lot.

The storm was supposed to miss us but the models have been all over the place so I’m not surprised that it’s been snowing all day. Not much accumulation though.

Sounds perfect!

Hope it's not too bad there!!

"Tomorrow will be 23 degrees colder."

It's a good thing I'm prepared.

We got maybe 3" downtown.. Maybe a bit more to come. I think the wind veered a bit east and Indiana got most of the snow.

wtg

Less than 3" here. Breathing a sigh of relief.

These lake snows are so unpredictable. I remember one a few years back when we weren't supposed to get more than a couple of inches. It snowed all day and by nightfall we had something like 14".

It’s kind of pretty.

Landscape crew showed up after all. Miserable work - cold, wind, mud, snow. Doesn’t seem to bother them - everyone seems quite cheerful.

BBC news just showed a clip of a football match in Canada (Ottawa?) heavy snow falling on the pitch at minus 8 🤪 and a terrific goal scored by team in red and black stripes.
