Funny that this evening we're dealing with a developing blizzard when 10 years ago on this date I was looking at this down by Good Hope IL.
-
Eyeballing about an inch here. Pavement has been just wet despite the good rates, but starting to whiten up there now as well.
-
10:1, so bump it up to whatever you're thinking is for LSRs.
-
Nowcast time but 18z Euro was pretty juicy for northern IL.
-
Already moderate snow no longer with sleet. Ground already DABd. Changeover process evolved very quickly.
-
Sleet now mixing with large flakes.
-
We've switched over to sleet here, and down to 31.
-
0.46" rain so far with the 1st part of the system.
-
Occasional rumbles of thunder, steady rain, and down to 38 degrees.
-
15 degree drop 55 to 40 in the past 65 min.
-
Northwest wind ripping. Temp has dropped 4 degrees quickly back to 51. Here we go.
-
Can see the cold front coming. Nice band of dark clouds in the western sky. Temp here is 55, but has already dropped back to 45 at DVN.
-
Temp here has shot up to 54 degrees courtesy of humid southeast winds. You wouldn't know blizzard conditions were in the offing in less than 12 hours.

The infamous severe thunderstorm warning box within a blizzard warning.

They're still acclimating to daylight savings changeover.

I will say, it's kind of fun having them be our office. I appreciate their excitement in interesting weather. I'd rather have that then an office that low-balls everything, and writes unmotivateed/lazy AFDs.
-
Des Moines office went with a blizzard warning, so pretty much guarantee DVN will excitedly join the party. Keep in mind they were the office who issued a widespread blizzard warning for scattered brief snow squalls earlier this winter where 90% of the warning didn't even see a flake.
-
First call for here/QC 0.2-1.2" of snow after a quick hitting non-severe squall line.
-
DVN office...
-
I expect all of my downspouts to be gone when I get home later.
-
The RGEM continues to rock us pretty good. If it wins out I may have to swap the American flag out front for a maple leaf lol.
-
Yep.
-
It's the RGEM, but verbatim it would have us going from a severe threat to heavy snow in 6hrs Sunday evening. If that in fact were to happen I'd change the winter grade from an F+ to an A+. Would completely make up for the past 3 months.
-
Haha yeah I think it is. I had already forgot about that lol.
-
I used to love chasing back in the day, and did a decent amount of it. I've completely lost interest in it over the past several years, just too many damn people out chasing now. Takes all the fun out of it for me. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and less aggressive? Not sure, but I enjoy just watching it all unfold from home these days lol.
