blue60007 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Looks like the tail end is coming in now Wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a drizzle at the very end. I'd say a total of 1.5" at least from eyeballing from the 9th floor. We'll see what more official reports say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Finally got above -SN. SPECI KLAF 271416Z 30003KT 1/2SM SN FG OVC005 01/01 A2962 RMK AO2 P0001 Awesome. Using that snowfall report at 7AM and the total precip at LAF through 7AM (0.19"), looks like about 5:1-6:1 ratio snow. Kinda sad...but we'll take what we can get.

Fingers crossed lol Seems to be the track this year. Accumulating on grassy surfaces only... so far about 0.3". Don't expect much in accumulation on pavement with the ground temps so warm.

Guru Of Reason Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Well, I would say that we received about 1 to 2 inches from this storm. Yippie!!!!! So I am guessing that STL is currently slamming Chicago in the snow department now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpsycho Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Dry Slot watch for SEMI from too far east to possible dry slot issues Looking at radar I should be OK where I am today by Flint. Now that the heavier precip has moved back in I have switched back to large snow flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Good luck up there Mike. 2-4" would be awesome no doubt. Thanks Tim. Would great just to be out in it again. GL with your inch and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Looks like a few flakes are trying to mix in with the light rain. With temps around 35, it is going to take a while to do much. With luck, your change-over might happen sooner than you think. Windsor over to snow. SPC meso-analysis show 850 temps collapsing. Just need to get that cooling down to the sfc. The sooner the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, thats an amazingly constant temperature. EDIT: formatting failure EDIT2: I don't know why I can't get the random line break to go away. Whatever.

snowstormcanuck Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That hole in the pcpn over NW OH is caused because of the lack of a complete phase (so far) between the southern and northern stream. Thre true "dry slot" can be seen on WV loop punching into E TN/KY. So that is going to safely miss us. Once the phase is completed, snow in SE MI will pick up.

jhamps10 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 welll that's the last time I go to bed at 4AM for something that's a bust at best..... good grief, if it's only gonna do a LIGHT dusting at best, I'd rather it be totally all rain!

Snowstorms Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Windsor over to snow. SPC meso-analysis show 850 temps collapsing. Just need to get that cooling down to the sfc. The sooner the better. Its only a matter of time when the sfc temps crash in the GTA which i expect to come mid-late afternoon. I'm going for 1.5 to 3" across the region. The short range models are going for 3-4", lets see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like rain to heavy snow on the EURO. EURO's kinda out there by itself now. I agree with b_i (as per the other thread) that a more amplified pattern is in store, more so than what the GFS is showing, but the EURO's kinda looney. Hope it's right though.

I said 2-4", maybe more like 1-4" given the bust potential. 9 out of 10 Decembers, a rapidly deepening storm with a track like that has us under a heavy snow or winter storm warning. Makes you shake your head a bit, but at least the narrative of this winter is being shaken up a bit. We can be grateful for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this storm can deliver atleast 2" and another 2-3" later in the week with the possible clipper we should obtain half of our monthly december snowfall lol. As for the bust, potential, I think the chances are higher near the lake and much lower the further north you move? Temps already starting to fall across SW Ont/SE Michigan I believe.

Organizing Low Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 looks to me based on what i have read in this thread that the snow is panning out as expected or slightly better in spots. windsor's ob with SN and visibility of 1/2 mile is ahead of what most models had predicted as far as i can tell. check out this doozy ob in north bay, they are getting destroyed on a S wind North Bay Airport Date: 11:00 AM EST Tuesday 27 December 2011 Condition: Heavy Snow Pressure: 100.3 kPa Tendency: rising Visibility: 0.2 km Temperature: -0.1°C Dewpoint: -0.6°C Humidity: 96 % Wind: S 9 km/h Wind Chill: -3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
