Thunder Road Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We have maybe about 0.7" here, but that's just me eyeballing it from the 3rd floor. Once it starts to accumulate more quickly I'll actually go out and measure, although there isn't really a good place for a snow board on campus so I'll have to settle for a grass measurement.

LizardMafia Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Snow has shut off here as well. Near term from IND SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN ONTARIO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND A COLD FRONT STRETCHED SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN OHIO. MUCH COLDER AIR WAS FOUND ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND WESTERN CENTRAL INDIANA WHERE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE TEENS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATE THE UPPER LOW OVER SE MISSOURI...DRIVING EASTWARD. RADAR TRENDS SHOW MUCH DRIER AIR WRAPPING IN TO THE SYSTEM FROM THE SOUTHWEST. MODELS AGREE THAT THE UPPER SYSTEM WILL PUSH ACROSS THE STATE TONIGHT...HOWEVER BEST FORCING IS LOST AFTER 06Z. POTENTIAL VORTICITY MUCH DRIER ARRIVING ALONG WITH SUBSIDENCE AFTER 06Z...HOWEVER FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST DEEP SATURATION. ALSO 850MB POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE SURFACE SHOWS A WEAK TROWAL WORKING ACROSS THE STATE...BUT EXITING AFTER 06Z. THUS WILL KEEP POPS GOING INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS FORCING WILL BE FAVORABLE...HOWEVER WILL TAPER POPS OFF AFTER 06Z AS BEST DYNAMIC SHIFT WELL TO THE NORTHEAST. GIVEN THE DRY AIR WORKING INTO THE AREA ALONG WITH THE FORCING ENDING BY 06Z...FEEL THAT SNOW AMOUNTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO END UP AT THE LOWER END OF THE ADVISORY CRITERIA. AS FOR TEMPS WILL TREND COOLER THAN MAVMOS GIVEN THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Temp continues to creep downward...now 21. mesonet temps from around Chicago, cooling off into the upper 20's now by my neighborhood which should help accums under that lake enhanced band but still pretty warm overall.

WestMichigan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It is snow there. Really. Cool!! Snow mixing in with rain in Zeeland (Between Grand Rapids and Holland). Maybe 50/50 right now. Kind of hard to tell for sure from inside my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 near 35dbz up by Skokie/Lincolnwood. yep, looks like it's rocking pretty hardcore up by my place. If you can do some grabs from better radar software, feel free Check the wrigley cam, i'm just north of there, looks like snow starting to stick on Addison which is always busy right there.

Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Getting some nice drifts behind the house. I'm gonna try to take some pics later tonight when they get real good and drifty. Down to 20º at IKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No you wouldn't, trust me, ILN is possibly the worst NWS office in the midwest/OV I think CLE is worse during the winter. If I get 3" by daybreak tomorrow plus another 1-3" tomorrow I would literally sh*t my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Probably just typical weenie induced radar hallucinations, but it appears as though the shield of pcpn associated with the arctic front across OH is further NW than the models progged by a decent much.

Compared to the NAM reflectivity for this time period it's ridiculously NW. Precip shouldn't be any closer than CMH, instead it's raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CLE will be able to achieve that higher ratios tommorow, maybe 15/20:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precip shouldn't be any closer than CMH, instead it's raining RUC seems to have the area S & W of CMH dying the next few hours and then a new batch forming over E KY and moving up along the OH/PA border. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
