I thought temps overachieved today when I left work, it felt pretty decent out. Was surprised it was only 9 degrees lol. 30s will feel like the 4th of July.

Winter 2020-21 Medium/Long Range Discussion
cyclone77 replied to Hoosier's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
It'll be back for April. -
Very nice to see such a wide area down that way get in on a big dog. Long overdue.
-
Still snowing here, got about 2". Ratios seem quite low due to the sugary nature from the pixies, but makes for a quality addition to the existing snowpack. About 18-19" of snow and ice on the ground now. EDIT: MLI has 3.5" as of midnight. Didn't think they'd be that much higher than me, so maybe I did a crappy job of measuring lol.

It's already down to -26 out at Le Mars Iowa. Brutal.
-
Pretty cool looking system on the ol' sat
-
These 15-18DBZ returns are doing work out here on the west side in the arctic air. Flake size increased the past hour, probably pushing 2" now with more to come.
-
Pixies here, but it's slowly adding up. Up to a little over an inch now. Alek got in 15min what we got in 4hrs lol! Hell of a storm up there in Chicago.
-
Ripping pretty nicely here with a temp right at zero. Flakes are fine, but it's pouring down nicely.
-
I hear that lol. Yeah I was still planting trees on Dec 18th. Things changed pretty fast after Christmas.
-
DVN still going with 1-2" for here/QC with no advisory, so they may need to make some adjustments this evening.
-
First flakes flying here. RAP has upped us to over 0.20" of precip now, and the HRRR and NAMs have bumped us into the high teens. Should hopefully be able to fluff 3-4" out of that, which is a HUGE win compared to how this looked a few days ago.
-
12z Euro has 4.7" here off of 0.18" precip on the new WXBell kuchera. That's 26:1 LSR, which seems a bit far fetched. I guess we'll see.
-
ORD getting in on it now, down to 1/4 mile vis.
-
Dumpin' buckets of snow at the McCallister's house (Home Alone) in Winnetka.
-
Back in 2017 we hit 70 degrees on the 17th. That seems almost unfathomable with how cold it's been as of late. We're about to pop to zero after 42 consecutive hours below zero. Pretty impressive in January let alone mid February.
-
Most of the models have upped QPF here to about 0.17" or so on average. It's gonna come down to the ratios as to how much we can fluff out of that.
-
-6 here this morning. Cherokee Iowa got all the way down to -30.
-
06z HRRR looks pretty similar to the 00z to me. 2" for here/QC final call. A joke compared to the majority of the sub but I'll take it.
-
Think we're still paying for the success we had with the March 2018 and November 2018 storms, both of which dumped close to a foot here. Last winter our heaviest snow event was under 5", and this winter the heaviest event has been 6.3". Des Moines Cedar Rapids were smoked by some big events much of the winter, and now just east and southeast are getting in on the biggies. Hopefully we can cash in on a big one next winter.
-
If we can somehow squeeze 3" of fresh powder out of this I'd be pretty ecstatic. 1-2" seems to be the safe call though atm.
-
Last Sunday the high was -2, this Sunday our high today was -1. One heck of a stretch it's been.
-
Will go 1-2" for here/QC. NAMs showing 3-4" but not gonna fall for that this time lol.
-
You've endured enough 33 and rain, so enjoy the hell out of this!
