Nic Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hrrr ruch shows a 2-4 inch band, usually accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishforsnow Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Occassional lake effect snow burst. The flakes are small due to the wind and drier air, causing the visibility to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Orientation of banding looking very good for LAF...3"? I think the best will move just north of here. ILX radar not filling in to the west of CMI...and the big band south of Ottawa looks to move east instead of SE. Solid couple of tenths down already...snowing pretty good right now. 1-2" seems like a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoFabulous Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Started snowing in Muncie about 20 minutes ago. Very small flake size with the occasional larger flake mixing in. It's already coated the ground (quickest I've seen this year so far), and it's coming down at a nice, steady pace. Winds are light, makes for a really nice scene to do homework to in the library.

Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Flake size is pretty good. I guess goes to show that you don't always need "real" cold temps for good ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 IDK, Laf looks bullseye to me. Nah, big band will miss just north. Look at ILX and LOT's radars. Still will be a nice snowfall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpsycho Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Occassional lake effect snow burst. The flakes are small due to the wind and drier air, causing the visibility to go down. It is almost like an Ice Fog when it is like that. It accumulates like a ski hill snow maker. At this point any snow is good for Winter Carney and snowmobiliers. The HR models are hinting at it getting pretty heavy later today too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Nah, big band will miss just north. Look at ILX and LOT's radars. Still will be a nice snowfall though. Going to be close either way, i'd expect the band to shift south some with the front, either way decent from what was expected 36 hrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ok, if you say so. I'm not debbie downing it, trust me. Just reading the radars. Maybe I'm blind, but this doesn't look like it's a LAF bullseye (everything moving east or east-southeast). A good snowfall here...again...but the best will slide just to the north. Maybe I'll be wrong...we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's gonna be close but I think you're right. Wind on the increase here and temp beginning to drop.Snow lost a lot of the intensity from earlier but still looks nice for 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpsycho Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 One of those bands just moved thru in the Oakland County. Visibility was 1/4-1/3 of a mile. Pretty cool. The HRRR shows this forming a line and become really intense in Buffalo area. If the HRRR is correct the Buffalo area will have Visibilities ~1/8 of a mile with this intense line.

Maybe I'll be wrong...we'll see. I agree. Looks like the heaviest band looks to stay just north of here, at least going by radar trends. You'll do well. Just went outside and measured an inch on the sidewalk here at work. Efficient little sucker. Wow, so the HRRR shot from earlier may not be totally cooky. Whoever gets under that training band could get 3"+ if we've got that much already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yes. It was pretty insane on how hard it was snowing. Around or close to 2" so far Holy crap! 2" already? Looks like a band of heavy snow is developing along the front. Hope so, so far probably only 0.2" here (though snow really picking up), definitely more just to my north, though model qpf should qpf increasing the further south you go. We shall see. Then its onto tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpsycho Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yes. It was pretty insane on how hard it was snowing. Around or close to 2" so far Definitely an overperformer because of these bands! Hopefully overperforming is a sign for tomorrow for us too!

hm8 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wow, definitely did not expect snow this heavy. Visibility <1 mile for sure. And the heaveist band hasn't even moved in yet. DTX radar looks real interesting right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
