Cory Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Allison House on GRL3 is showing that the whole radar system , nation wide is down..Somebody must have unpluged the server---- The whole NWS is being affected by some problems with the main satellite broadcast network, so people will likely have problems with radar and other products until it's fixed.

Indystorm Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 It is starting to snow again here now, following a significant lull during the afternoon. Berrien County looks to be the sweet spot so far for the start of this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yeah they played the LIONS....so you knew that was coming....but the penalty on SUH was such BS....it's screw the Lions year. Cutler still playing great completing I think 21 of 26 with a TD and no picks. O-line is still not playing well. but 9-3 and still a game lead over the packers.

kevlon62 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Debated towing the sleds "around the horn" to Niles, MI area for an early season rip but decided to stay home on this one. Cousin did make drive over from Chicago for a snow chase in his new Jeep (no, not this one) and currently stopped for dinner in Paw Paw. Looks like decent banding has been in that vicinity and then again from South Haven through Allegan. Definitely on the hunt for thunder snow tonight.

Indystorm Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 IWX continues to maintain LES warnings as advertised as they expect snow bands currently over MI to swing back sw. Still 10-14 inches of snow expected by Tues. dawn for me here in Elkhart county with amounts approaching two feet to the nw of here in LaPorte and Berrien counties. Good to have radar back again.

Indystorm Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 1.5" per 7 a.m. IMBY this Dec. 6. We seem to have been between bands....LES warning extended until noon Tues. with heavier bands expected today/ tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 1.5" per 7 a.m. IMBY this Dec. 6. We seem to have been between bands....LES warning extended until noon Tues. with heavier bands expected today/ tonight. Not only are you between bands, but they seemed to get interrupted by a weak wave overnight. They should crank up for you now. I know you're more of a severe weather guy, but it should be fun being in the middle of the LES. Keep us posted on amounts in the Elkhart/Dunlap area!

Indystorm Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Snowing at a good clip now and more consistently than it did on Sunday. That disrupting wave must have gotten out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Snowing at a good clip now and more consistently than it did on Sunday. That disrupting wave must have gotten out of the way. Same here.... Think the same band is lined up with both of us. So far, IMO, run of the mill LE with nothing really "epic", but it's far from over and can pile up quick.

So far, IMO, run of the mill LE with nothing really "epic", but it's far from over and can pile up quick. Yep, the real fun seems to be when you get an intense single band running down the fetch of most of Lake Michigan that decides to sit over your area for awhile! We'll see what happens.

Indystorm Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Per radar we are now getting multiple bands the width of most of the southern half of Lake Michigan, contrasted to yesterday when we only had a narrow band clinging the eastern shore and angling se into MI and ne IN. Should be an interesting day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 For me and Indystorm UPDATE... NEAR TERM FCST IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE THIS MORNING WITH ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE BEING LOWERING HIGHS SEVERAL DEGREES IN THE SOUTH AND WEST DUE TO COLDER START. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY REVOLVES AROUND LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS AND POTENTIAL ACCUMULATIONS. ATTM...INTENSE PARALLEL SHORE BAND EXTENDS FROM NEAR KBIV SEWD TOWARDS KHAI AND NE INDIANA. THIS BAND FEATURES A GOOD LAKE SUPERIOR CONNECTION WITHIN PERSISTENT LAKE AGGREGATE TROUGH...BUT ACTIVITY THIS FAR SOUTH CONTINUES TO BE LESS ORGANIZED GIVEN MORE CELLULAR LOOK. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO A SLIGHTLY SHEARED BOUNDARY LAYER AND LACK OF ANY SYNOPTIC MOISTURE/LIFT RESULTING IN NO SEEDER FEEDER ELEMENT. ANOTHER HORIZONTAL ROLL/LES BAND EXISTS JUST TO THE SW OF THE SHORE PARALLEL BAND FROM NEAR KBEH SE TOWARDS OUR OFFICE. AGAIN...MORE OF A CELLULAR LOOK HERE ALTHOUGH SOME MORE ORGANIZATION NOTED IN LAST FEW RADAR SCANS. AM NOT EXPECTING MUCH OF A CHANGE THROUGH THIS AFTN...ALTHOUGH AN OSCILLATION NE EARLY THIS AFTN AND THEN BACK TO THE SW LATER IN THE DAY IS EXPECTED AS THE LOW LVL FLOW EVENTUALLY VEERS A BIT BEHIND A SHORTWAVE SHOWING UP NICELY OVER SRN LAKE MI. THIS MATCHED UP WELL WITH THE PREV FCST...HENCE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO GRIDS/SNOW AMOUNTS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT PLACEMENT. ALSO HELD OFF ON ANY CHANGES TO HEADLINES THIS MORNING.

L.B. LaForce Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Holland, MI is getting rocked. They have had solid bands of 25-35dBZ almost non stop. Report earlier 12" on the ground so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Holland, MI is getting rocked. They have had solid bands of 25-35dBZ almost non stop. Report earlier 12" on the ground so far. Just drove through southwest Holland over lunch. Snowing like crazy. Two miles east of there the sun is shining. My guess is easily 12" has fallen. It goes from very light and fluffy with lots of blowing snow to dense pellets that compact really fast. Amazing to see this much snow falling while there is absolutely nothing to the east.
