KeenerWx Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I should have gone back home for that one. Stuck it out in LAF for the sleet storm of the century. Temp down to 36º on my thermometer. Keep dropping baby... And now back over to PLRA here. Definitely not cooled down enough yet. These marginal situations are real nail-biters...never did see the snow here.

Chicago WX Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 These marginal situations are real nail-biters...never did see the snow here. Really? Snowing here again right now. Back and forth.Thin slushy coating on my car. Evidently yellows on the radar are the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I should have gone back home for that one. Stuck it out in LAF for the sleet storm of the century. If I ever experience that again, I'm done with winter. 4" of ice for weeks on the ground. No thanks. Sent from my ADR6400L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best we've been getting on this side of town is a sleet/rain mix. If we don't make the switch to snow by the 18-19z mark, I'm going to call it quits for 2"+.

Sent from my ADR6400L I'd love for that one to have been all snow for us, but I guess I've never seen that much sleet in one storm. I'll remember it fondly...but hope it never happens again.

snowlord81 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ripping here. Hard to see across the street. Flakes are near quarter size and the grass is whitening. If it slows down though it will probably melt off. So far so good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some big ones too, though the intensity remains light. Regardless, I can't see 2"+ either. 1-2" and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 These types of events stink for trying to get good measurements. What's on the ground will be less than what falls. We still look to get 0.10-0.20" qpf in the form of snow, hopefully the nighttime will help, as will sfc temps falling to slightly below freezing. but right now, yes, its a flooding mess. Looks like DTW will be at the 3rd wettest year on record by the time this storm ends, behind only 1880 and 1881. With a month to go, #1 is in reach.

B-Rent Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Looks like we changed over. Coming down at a good clip, but tiny, tiny flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Very much ex past facto...and clownish, but the 12z NAM snowfall map has quite the gradient across Tippecanoe County. Esssentially nothing in the NW corner to near 6" on the east side. Oy vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QVectorman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm interested to see where this sfc low goes. Watching the pressure falls over the past couple of hours it appears the sfc low will track though Eastern PA which would shift the heavy snowband axis dramatically east and the 12z runs of the Euro, GFS, NAM, CMC and UKMET all have it tracking up Lake Erie and Ontario. Of course I have seen in the past where the pressure falls dramatically shift several hundred miles in just a couple hours and the low continues on it's forecasted track.

Indystorm Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Will be interesting to see which model wins out. NAM posted above has Elkhart county in the thick of things. HRRR and NWS forecast have me in advisory area with warning off to east and south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 If you check out the LOT radar, you will see as tight of a gradient as ever with the precip shield. Almost looks tighter than some of the LES events from this region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Intensity is light here, but it's having no real problem sticking to the grass or roof tops in my neighborhood...even after the deluge of rain from earlier. Now it'd be nice to get some heavier rates at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*IndyMeso* Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Nothing sticking to the ground yet here in Noblesville although the rain has switched to all snow at this point. Not looking forward to driving home around 11 tonight no matter how much we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
