Ajdos Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Sleet/Snow right now.. Big flakes mixed with sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Mostly sleet now thankfully. Hopefully the freezing rain is done. Power has been going off and on for the past few hours and internet was down for a couple of hours as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksstormhunter Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just uploaded 05Z SmartModel run. Looks like snowfall is starting to push off to the east now. Just looking at some snowfall forecasts from now to 48 hours out. MN is looking across the area 2-4" of additional snow, with Minneapolis the high point with 4.2" of more snow for the next 24 hours. Wisconsin looking at another 1-3" of snow for next 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto4 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It looks like about two inches has fallen in downtown Toronto. There is currently another batch of snow just to the southwest of the city of Toronto, but it is having a hard time making inroads. There is a very sharp northern cut-off on radar and it looks like Toronto is on the wrong side of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian Express Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 meh....around 8" total 50 miles SE of the Twin Cities. Was out and about yesterday afternoon, lot of mixing really brought down the totals. Looks to be a very narrow band of heavier amounts in MN.

weatherbo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah Bo you congratulated me on my snow and I ended up with 10" of it Nice! Hopefully I get some decent snow later today, but at least it won't stick around too long. I'm already in mid- transition into spring mode.

Baum Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Chicago posters must have fallen asleep on the back end wave with this thing as NWS has us pegged fro 2-5 inches now. Will be interesting; looks to me like models and radar extrapolation take the main band of snow just south of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moneyman Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 MKE saying 5-6 inches of new snow for people near the lake and 4-5 inland. Would bump my totals up to around 14-15 inches here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow, LAF peaked at 61/52 at 3AM...but has been sorta back doored this morning, now down to 37/34 at 9AM. An interesting afternoon and evening on tap as the race between the moisture and deeper cold air is on. 12z NAM brings 0.50"+ QPF, but what in what form is TBD. Should be fun...

Yeah IND still torching. Somewhat of a strange storm with the way the cold has come back in from the east/northeast. Even west of here at Champaign they're still sitting in the mid 40's. Looking at things a little closer, LAF will probably stave off any wintry precip (thinking just a cold rain) until the very end. Different story for you guys in Muncie and Kokomo though. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yep, going to be a very fine line between cold rain and a mess. So glad we have school today. Yes it will. Most times being farther west is a good thing, but not this time. LAF will be not far enough east to get into any wintry action with this system. To quote Hoosier's favorite announcer..."Mercy!".

London snowsquall Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The second round of snow missed KW 2.4" is my final You and SSC must have been just on the fringe. I'm guessing we have 6" min. - but I'm going out to shovel and I'll confirm it then. When I packed it in at 11 oclock last night we had maybe an inch. We had been dryslotted for a couple hours by then, but the radar looked to be filling in from the west, so I was cautiously optimstic..... Windsor got 11".
