Geos Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 HRRR is showing that feature lasting for hours, even after the main precip is done. Could be a big deal for stretch from Milwaukee to Chicago. Yeah I'm just west of that meso low right now! Flakes are getting bigger here. If it drifts due west about 5 miles it'll be right over my house! Try to get some pictures if it make it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler1111 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like Chicago travel times are absurd already - http://gcmtravel.com/lmiga/home.jsp 98 mins from ORD to downtown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like Chicago travel times are absurd already - http://gcmtravel.com/lmiga/home.jsp 98 mins from ORD to downtown... add 2 hours to that at rush hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 add 2 hours to that at rush hour... Best banding looks to hit around rush hour. There's gonna be some insane commuting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snohio Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Light snow has started in Wauseon, OH, which is about 30-40 miles west of Toledo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yeah it's gonna be bad. I brought up 2/6/07 earlier which this reminds me of in terms of temps/rates (although that one was even colder) and it was a total disaster around here so I can't imagine what it will be like in the congested metro. People see 4-7" and probably think 'oh that's not too bad' but not all 4-7's are equal. Sounds like you know a thing or two about 4-7"ers steady light to sometimes mod snow.

Chicago WX Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like some light returns getting close after a lull. I assume it'll be all sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Lake effect drifting into Zion now. Flake size is starting to improve. TWC reporting road salt isn't working on the roads! Well yeah... it's too cold for the salt to work! salt at this point is a waste of time and resources. Plow only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 DTX: Going with 1 to 3" north of Detroit/I-96. 2 to 4" south. WWA only for Monroe and Lenawae CTY. Looks to take time for the moisture to saturate the Atmosphere. Only thing helping us north of Detroit is the Fact Ratios will be fairly High.

Looks to take time for the moisture to saturate the Atmosphere. Gee, that's almost the same argument as ground temps. Sometimes i question why DTX is so anti-headlines. The radar trends look nice, i dont get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Majority of the local mets around calling for a general 1-3 inches. I think the dry air is going to really play a monster roll in this system. It's more of the fact that the best bands will be along I-80, not 60 miles north.

dmc76 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It's more of the fact that the best bands will be along I-80, not 60 miles north. Its a combination of both and the fact a new Low develops to the East of OH. We lose are punch fairly quickly here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Intensity has slowed a bit, but the flakes have gotten larger . . . 50/50 between pennies and dimes . . . prolly hit three inches in the next 5 minutes or so....but i will do a measurement at 3:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
