Thunder Road Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yup, I'm the Met Intern here, I've been sending out your reports as public, but are you a trained spotter? I'm registered with PHL, but that was back in October of '08, so whether that's a yes or a no I'll let you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Snow Freezing Fog, Visibility 0.50 miles - for Waukegan Airport near where I am. NW wind 14 mph/gusts to 21mph. Looks like some good lake enhancement starting south of Sheboygan, WI and continuing all the way down to Chicago. Snowflakes aren't huge, but not tiny either.

Chicago WX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 4 might still work out but another heavier burst could push it over. Hope so. 4.2" total gets us to 10.0" for the season. An achievement in this winter to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I just finished reviewing the latest model (RUC, HRRR, NAM, RGEM and GFS) and radar guidance and here's my final call for Toronto: Trace to 0.4": 100% chance 0.5" to 0.9": 95% chance 1.0" to 1.4": 85% chance 1.5" to 1.7": 65% chance 1.8" to 2.0": 40% chance 2.1" and up: 20% chance Hoping for the best.

LAF and Toronto both getting more than MKE still has both legs. LSE's total helped today. LAF's luck is almost as good as MKE's is bad. I so thought they'd be good for 5-7".
