michsnowfreak Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Estimated snowfall of 0.4" so far, hopefully we can sqeeze out an inch total. There are many "drifts" owing to the wind (especially curb drifts) and the roads are dangerous with all the ice on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Storm total of 5.9" at Geneva, Ill. I will be submitting to CoCoRaHS once liquid equivalent is determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Wood Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Probably got an inch here, blowing snow is making it hard to get a solid estimate. Wind & Wind Chills are absolutely brutal this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 1.5" as of this morning in columbus area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I got just shy of 7" after a few measurements, early evening lull really killed my chance for 8.5 and mid afternoon convergence band saved the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Legitimate heavy snow just north of Findlay... a lot of rural schools look bad with high schoolers coming in right now for exams. Basically every school that delayed will be forced to close... which I expected. Visibility looks to be about 1/3 of a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Estimated snowfall of 0.4" so far, hopefully we can sqeeze out an inch total. There are many "drifts" owing to the wind (especially curb drifts) and the roads are dangerous with all the ice on them. About the same here. Thought we would have a minor snow depth that appears unlikely with only a dusting to 0.5" expected for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Still -SN despite nothing on radar and the sun rising in the distance, lol. Looks like we picked up another 1-2" overnight, I'll measure on the way to class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Can't complain about this storm here. Expected 2-4" and got a bit over 4". Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looks like we're closing in on 2" but not quite there. Still some grass tips visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 A few reports in this list don't really add up. It's pretty evident which ones I am talking about. Snowfall measuring remains an inexact science. As typical, low ball amounts from the COOP observer in IKK. Though I guess this was a "tough to get an accurate measurement" kind of storm.

It's pretty evident which ones I am talking about. Well at VU we're up to 4.5" now which seems to jive with the surrounding Porter County obs. Crown Point at 7.0" seems a tad high but we were in a dryslot (as you heard me complain about repeatedly) for quite some time while a strong band sat just to our south, so it's at least plausible.

Thunder Road Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's snowing harder now than it was half the day yesterday, and there's nothing even on LOT's radar. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Officially 4.0" in Mt. Pleasant from a trained spotter report and from a measurement I did on Campus. Looks beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's snowing harder now than it was half the day yesterday, and there's nothing even on LOT's radar. What gives? LES streamers are sometimes comprised of very shallow convection. So shallow the radar beams can sometimes overshoot them. That's my guess.

Thunder Road Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 LES streamers are sometimes comprised of very shallow convection. So shallow the radar beams can sometimes overshoot them. That's my guess. I considered that too, but LOT really isn't that far. The beam is about 4000 feet AGL on its lowest (0.5 degree) tilt. It's lightened up a bit now but it's still definitely more than just blowing snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
