Chicago Storm Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 6" in 3hr extreme giddyness doesn't even start to explain my mood 18z GFS for ORD drops 7.2" between 9PM/12AM and 7.9" between 12AM/3AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Snow has increased quite a bit as expected, a solid moderate snowfall that's piling up quickly. I could see heavy rates happening if we can mix in some more dendrites from the frontogenetic band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think we mixed with ZR for brief period? That's how it looked/felt. I haven't been out lately so I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizing Low Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Okay...so where does this run go wrong? 36.0 inches?? Do we really think that is probable? And what local tools go into downgrading the data in the computer run (used by the NWS and television meteorologists? there will be places in and around ground zero that will close to if not surpass 30 inches it is going to snow like never before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizardMafia Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Coming from Carmel turned into an hour drive. Freezing Rain down in that area, by the time from 865 to Lebanon went from Freezing Rain to Sleet in that distance. Car was covered front to back in ice. Been having Sleet/Freezing Rain mix going on over the last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I just walked outside to look firsthand and you can hear the snow hitting the trees pretty loudly. I don't recall that from any other snowfall I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 INDIANAPOLIS FRZ RAIN 26 20 77 NE16 I have a gut feeling that Indy has a disaster unfolding. Just starting to think that will be ground zero in terms of freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Martin Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 THE EXCEPTIONS IN THIS CASE WILL BE THE TOLEDO TO FINDLAY AREAS THAT WILL GET HIT THE HARDEST WITH THE HEAVY SNOW. VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MIXING WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE PRECIPITATION OVER THAT AREA AND WE ARE EXPECTING ANY WHERE FROM 12 TO 16 INCHES OF SNOW TO FALL THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE STORM. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH NEAR LAKE ERIE AND THIS WILL POSE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM FOR THE TOLEDO TO FINDLAY AREA AND ERIE PENNSYLVANIA AREA CAUSING SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW. NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED AS GRADIENT FROM THE STORM SYSTEM REALLY CRANKS UP THE WINDS OFF THE LAKE. This is from the Area Forecast Discussion just issued a few moments ago from the National Weather Service in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
