BowMeHunter Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Looks like you should be right in the middle of that very thin heavy band. meh its sinking south fast so who cares.. could of had something decent if the stuff out west just continued east but in typical fashion what looks good west fails to deliver east. should be in the rant thread but IDGAF.

WestMichigan Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Wow this thread is hard to read. Heavy snow, fog, tornado, radar returns all mixed into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksstormhunter Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 15Z SmartCast for Michigan areas around the Grand Rapids and Saginaw regions.

wisconsinwx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I see MKE recorded 2.3" in the last 6 hours. After the main band finished an hour ago, I measured just over 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 picked up less than a half inch so far. edit: 0.4" final total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Even with only 2-3" on the ground, ground blizzard conditions are sporadically occurring. Of course, because of that there are some grassy spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 2-3" of accumulation in the Madison area, on top of another couple of inches of old snow pack. Basically this event undid yesterday's melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Picked up over 1.25" of rain since midnight, really impressive to say the least. Including .60 in one hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It kept snowing and blowing for a good while longer following my last post. I ended up with 1.8 inches of snow, which melted down to 0.18" of liquid. The wind sure puts the kibosh on the snow/liquid ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 1.2" at my location. The last part of rush hour was a mess. I got to view some heavier snow in Wisconsin on a short trip to Milwaukee. This is what I encountered in Oak Creek, WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We've had mod snow since maybe 1:00 or so, with the ground coated now. Probably 3/4" or something like that. Looks like we might be getting some lake enhancement too if you loop KLOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It looks like we'll end up with a couple of inches here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Looks like we're over 1" now, grass is covered. I wasn't expecting much so I didn't put a snow board out this time either...d'oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Very hard to tell how much we had here. Guessing near an inch, but the wind makes it impossible to tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Probably about an inch, maybe just over, in Geneva, Ill., with most of that having come in the last hour from a period of moderate to heavy snow. At least the ground is covered again. Definitely ripe conditions due to the fluffy nature of the snow for reduced visibilities from blowing snow. No doubt that there will be some icy patches on the rural highways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Picked up over 1.25" of rain since midnight, really impressive to say the least. Including .60 in one hour. DTW had 1.28" today, record for the date. 1.35" for the event total. WAY overperformed. High also overperformed at 53F. Currently 35 with flurries. Imby I had 0.78" rain and now flurries, even almost all snow piles are gone from the weekends fluffy snows (saw a few isolated small piles left).

At least we escaped the big warm sector here. It was in the mid 30s most of the day with NE winds. The rain did wash away a lot of the previous snowcover though. It was down to patches prior to today's new snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Around 2" here, alot of frozen slush, but at least the new snowfall has covered the sloppy snow pack that was remaining before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 all the old snow was gone by late morning, but now we have 1" of new powder. Roads and sidewalks are very slippery due to the layer of sleet under the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
