The_Global_Warmer Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I am very envious, but super happy for everyone looks like Chicago and LAF are next in line. and North central IL is getting rocked. Looks like ratios are better then expected. also some heavy sleet then rain that has come by us a bit unexpected. but no snow. good luck everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Back into around 1/2SM SN in Davenport, maybe enough to tack on another inch to the storm total. I'll be happy around 4" for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The track of this storm is making me angry lol. From my experience clippers tend to straighten out and move more east as they drop out of the dakotas, and not so much SSE like this one. Glad to see a lot of people are getting their first big snows. Enjoy it. Also most models had this thing weakening as it moved Se, but there are healthy bands in northern illinois.

Hoosier Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 That huge green blob in IL is heading right towards LAF. It's been painful watching some of the heavier returns try to move this way and not make it, although that is not really unexpected to this point. Heaviest snow has looked like it would be a few hours from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaviest snow has looked like it would be a few hours from now. I know how you feel, living on the east side of STL, so many times on backsides of 700mb lows we have to wait hours for bands to barely move. Or hours for the dry air monster to subside. looking at the radar, 06z ruc, rgem, and hi-res models 4-6 inches seems right for LAF this time, looking at the orientation of the band and how the storm starts taking a more southern route at this point, you may end up very very well up there. going to be on the ground for a while too.

We'll see. I think 6" could be pushing it unless we get some fairly persistent banding. Since there wasn't a delayed start, a general 3-5" still seems pretty good with maybe an isolated higher amount. Gonna be watching the radar trends for a bit but not sure how much longer. Was up late last night checking out the 6z runs...this hobby is disgusting sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
