UW-weather Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I just took a core sample and that's what I got. That location had 5 inches of snow that melted down to 0.42". The flakes have been pretty small for most of the event. Thanks! It would expect higher ratios, but yah just check the COBB and it has 13:1 max 14:1.

beavis1729 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looks like ORD had 0.10" liquid and 0.9" of snow thorugh 12:00 PM...so the ratio is 9:1 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 IND had 0.8" snow on 0.03" liquid which would be a 26:1 ratio. Seems high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UW-weather Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 12z EURO has a solid .25"-.5" from eastern IA through all but the NW corn of Wisconsin and north 1/3 of IL, it also put down .5"-.6" in the Chicago area, but not up into SE wisconsin, looks like 4-7" will hold true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickSumner Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Have a feeling this may end up being an underachiever snow wise (for some areas), but widespread travel problems will be the issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Based on visibility alone, we're probably hanging on to low end moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looks like precip is basically about to shut off here for a while. Still hoping that we can manage the lower end of 3-5" but have to say that my confidence is slipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Chad had 0.6" awhile ago...if that's close to what you got, I can see another 1.5-3.0" tonight/overnight. At least that's what most of the models seem to indicate. We'll see. LAF is good at late rallies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 meso low sitting just offshore between chicago and evanston. coming down pretty damn good again and judging by the radar a bit heavier north by my apartment. Hopefully it has plans on sticking around but they tend to be rather transient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOWFALL CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THISAFTERNOON. RADAR TRENDS AND SHORT TERM GUIDANCE SHOW TWO AREAS OF BETTER FORCING WITHIN THE BROAD LIFT. THE FIRST IS ORIENTED FROM BENTON HARBOR MICHIGAN NORTHWEST ACROSS MILWAUKEE WITH A SECOND STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE FROM RENSSELAER TO PRINCETON TO SAVANNA. IN BETWEEN...RADAR RETURNS HAVE EASED OFF SOMEWHAT BUT SNOWFALL CONTINUES. OVERALL NEAR TERM TRENDS SUGGEST THAT FORCING/FRONTOGENESIS WILL BECOME MORE FOCUSED OVER THE CWA INTO LATE AFTERNOON...WITH PERHAPS THE MOST FOCUSED FORCING OVER NE IL/NW IN EARLY THIS EVENING. IN ADDITION...LOW LEVEL AREA OF CONVERGENCE OVER THE LAKE CONTINUES TO COMPLICATE NEAR TERM DETAILS. LATEST RUC SHOWS AN EAST-WEST BAND OF CONVERGENCE FROM THE LAKE/COOK IL BORDER EASTWARD. THIS TROUGH IS NOT SO EVIDENT IN SHORE OBS BUT ORD TDWR SHOWS A SOUTHWESTWARD MOVING AREA OF ENHANCED REFLECTIVITY MOVING INLAND FROM EVANSTON SOUTHWARD INTO DOWNTOWN CHICAGO. LAKE INFLUENCE WILL LIKELY BE RATHER TRANSIENT BUT IS SEEMINGLY ABLE TO OCCUR...AND MAY BECOME MORE FAVORED AS LOW-LEVEL THERMAL PROFILES COOL. THE EXTENT TO WHICH IT OCCURS IS STILL NOT CLEAR BUT AREAS ALONG THE COOK COUNTY IL SHORE SEEM MOST FAVORED INTO MID AFTERNOON BEFORE IT PIVOTS INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING.
