Chicago Storm Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 First measurable snowfall of the season, sitting at 0.1". Light snow still falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Near dry-adiabatic lapse rate in the low levels + Shallow cloud layer entirely located within the dendritic growth zone + Little to no wind shear = Nice, fluffy, dendritic snow. There's actually a bit of saturation and UVV aloft progged for a few hours later this morning and early afternoon, and that low level layer remains saturated through most of the daylight hours, so wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more bouts (or simply a continuance) of this light snow for a while.

on_wx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Currently on and off heavy snow here with a couple of accumulating centimetres so far. Radar looks interesting http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=WKR Looks like the two radars around here have been offline for the last hour.

snowstormcanuck Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Nice bowling ball/overrunning event setting up on the EURO between 192 and 240. Once that block shifts east there should be enough residual cold air to possibly setup something significant without having to worry about being flooded by warmth. Although you never know.

turtlehurricane Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Light snow has picked up in intensity since I woke up around noon.

turtlehurricane Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 typical college kids No reason to wake up earlier Radar indicates snow showers are breaking out to the north in central WI. Looks like they'll mostly miss Madison to the east, but Milwaukee and Chicago may benefit. Lots of vort maxes rounding the bigger trough are causing this fairly random snow, who knows what'll happen next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of vort maxes rounding the bigger trough are causing this fairly random snow, who knows what'll happen next Sounds like me when I have to work and don't see the need to get up at 10am for a 4pm shift As for the random vorts, I would be much happier with a big vort coming down and depositing a foot of snow.
