B-Rent Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Quick burst here put down about a inch. Cars off the road all over the county. Sent from my ADR6400L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 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! It was crazy.. really exploding in Macomb Cty right now. Hopefully it stays intense your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 visibility hovering near a 1/4 mile with the front. Temp went from 28 to 26 pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I agree. Looks like the heaviest band looks to stay just north of here, at least going by radar trends. 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. Just went out and shoveled...measured 1.5" on the pavement. Looks like we're done for right now...though there is development in eastern IA/western-central IL that looks like it could swing through later. Gonna be a "2-parter" I guess.

Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'd love to see the totals just south of IKK. Good returns have been over that area for awhile. I see you lurking vortex, what you got up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Closing in on an inch here... roads are covered better than the grass. Pretty big flakes, probably the second biggest snowflakes (LES on New Year's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 pretty wicked out. looks like 3" here will be a good bet. IWX had to feel the pressure on this. I realize it isn't any advisory type snow but with close to 3", the wind, and the very low visibilities the past couple hours, along with the rapid drop in temps (down to 22), sure seems more than a SWS event.

Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 1.5" reported by spotter in West Laf. Thought I was lying? Lull right now, but looks like things are slinking south on ILX's radar. 2" or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlord81 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Id say almost 2 inches so far here. Much more than I was expecting. I wonder if the HRRR is right and the snow sinks south and sits here later tonight. May make a run towards 3 in places. Just got done ripping here under a 35dbz band for 20 mins or so! Neighbors mailbox just got run over by a plow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Fighting dry air here, flake size should increase as atmosphere moistens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, but always nice to see more reports.We should be able to tack on another half inch, maybe a bit more if one of those transient bands sets up overhead.

Okee-dokee then. Agreed about the 0.5" to maybe more...assuming we get into good banding and the flake size remains good. It was quite the efficient snow this morning.

GordoFabulous Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Closing in on two inches in Muncie with visibilities definitely under a half mile. Flake size is average (not as small as before, but I'm not fighting an urge to say "Wow! The flakes are huge!). Winds are still generally light with the occasional gust. All-in-all, I'd call it the best snowfall of the year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue60007 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 1.5" reported by spotter in West Laf. Was just out and about for lunch, and this seems about right (at least from eyeballing). I wonder if that band in central IL will drop far enough south to ride over LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 1.5" @ 1pm. Heavy band coming through right now. Making a run for 2"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that band in central IL will drop far enough south to ride over LAF. I've been using PIA (on ILX's radar) as my benchmark...and the tail end has finally sagged south through there. Hopefully we can get some intensification as it swings through here. Flakes are starting up again...looking at radar...it's about go time for round 2.
