LizardMafia Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Crappy shot, but drifting in the backyard here at the house. It is like a wind tunnel though...only 10 feet wide. But as you can see, snow depth is a bit variable. I'm jealous! Hope you enjoy it! Been a long time coming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Who knows. LAF has only had 0.02" precip so far. IND 0.04" with 1" of snow works out to 25:1. I wonder if ASOS missed some precip. Interesting. I'll hope for the best then! I've been watching the HRRR - it seems insistent on bringing round two overnight dropping 2-3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm jealous! Hope you enjoy it! Been a long time coming.. Lovin' it. Still, I don't think I'm "worthy". LAF really wasn't doing too bad so far this season, compared to quite a few others. But good timing on coming up north for a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Bolingbrook . . . no board, but about 15 measurements averaged out came out to 3.2 ... very fine snow currently falling ... no drifts really yet ... use it if you want, i understand if ya don't/can't ... I'll definitely use it, thanks! Almost all the reports I've been sending out from here so far have been resent by the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Enjoy your storm guys/gals. Regarding synoptics on this storm, goes to show a phase was never needed for this to still be a decent event. Remember 5-7 days ago the whole discussion revolved around whether or not the cutoff low would ever phase with the northern stream upper low. Once again the ECMWF proved superior.

Gonna take the dog out and get pics Thanks for the report, believe it or not, we hardly get any from the city itself, so it's appreciated. 4" is impressive considering you were warmer and got off to a bit of a late start with the accumulating snowfall.

GordoFabulous Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Are those snow showers going through Indy contributing much to accumulations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My place was bulls eyed by the convergence band, the 3" report from Rogers Park has me feeling pretty good about my estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Enhanced convergence associated with meso low has moved back over lake...rates have come down but flake size remains respectable. I can see a couple more spins over the lake and a decent band slowly organizing to my north. Going to need a couple more heavy periods to hit my call...

buckeye Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 First wave missed Columbus compleatly. Woohoo! lol...was watching the snow/rain line suddenly pivot clockwise away from us as it started getting closer. I actually think we don't even end as a flake with this first slug. That alone is an incredible feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think we don't even end as a flake with this first slug. That alone is an incredible feat. Actually kind of good bands near Lexington Ky now moving due north towards Columbus metro. Dry slot is barely going to last an hour or two, just now Jym Ganahl basically said the snow is canceled. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Flight came in perfectly right in the middle of this. Most remarkable thing I saw was how the top of the cloud deck was so incredibly mirror lake, the sun was reflecting like it does in a ski resort. Also nice ice halos and sun dogs. Couldn't really take pictures of that since it was so bright I think my camera could've got damaged, I certainly couldn't look at it long with my eyes. Additonally, I can confirm I'm no longer in Florida by the large amount of ice crystals outside my window/roaming down the street in dunes.
