SN 1/2 Oh my goodness....heavy snow has resumed. Are we SERIOUSLY going to make a run at double-digit snowfall accumulations when the NWS forecast 12 hours ago was 1-3" followed by ice?

Are we SERIOUSLY going to make a run at double-digit snowfall accumulations when the NWS forecast 12 hours ago was 1-3" followed by ice? Pure and total awesomeness! Checked out some totals... Looks like I94 to M59 is already approaching 8inches..Areas north like I69 are far less. How funny that 1-3 Monday..followed by an additional 2-5 Monday night. If in fact this pans out Some areas in Metro Area could see 11-16 inches final 2 day totals...WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wouldnt be shocked to see more reports of TSSN tonight. In fact the TSSN has been so wide spread its the talk of nightly local TV news casts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TREES ALSO STARTING TO GLAZE OVER...RELAYED BY WISC. Well, I think the icing in 'Stallis might be about to get a tad worse. There is a decent cluster of precip about ready to enter the area. West Allis definitely seemed to be in the middle of the freezing rain/sleet on the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrys Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just watched a guy struggle to drive uphill on an unplowed road. After several attempts of backing up and going forward he gave up and just backed down the hill and went the other way. I don't know that he'll make it far going that direction either. At least this was a weekend storm, so roads should be in decent but probably not great shape by the morning rush. I'm at the southern edge of the band now. It looks like the northward progression has slowed and is trying to slide more easterly. I'll have to wait and see if I stay in the light snow or enter the dry slot for a while. Probably sitting somewhere around 10-12" now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Ripping snow! less than a 1/4 mile!!!!! Looks like the heavy banding is trying to set up just south of I94..someone downriver could breech 10 inches tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Im shocked you had this much snow down there. Considering local mets had u under 1" this morning I am too.

Looks like the heavy banding is trying to set up just south of I94..someone downriver could breech 10 inches tonight! Im thinking sleet is causing the bright banding because its loud now lol so definitely a mix of sleet/snow. But yes, I think 10" is attainable tonight!

The rate during the thundersnow was just incredible. What made it insane was some freezing fog rolled in at about the same time that convective band stalled from I94 to Pontiac. I think it was reported as an observation from metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
