AppsRunner Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry to clutter things up, but I found this HRRR image quite funny. That skinny band from MO to IL and IN made me laugh. Probably has a better chance of verifying than DT's forecast Only spot of 4" plus was ORD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Probably has a better chance of verifying than DT's forecast Only spot of 4" plus was ORD... DT has never done Midwest events very well. He should stick to the East Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevlon62 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 At Lake St. (Rt. 20) and Medinah Rd. in Bloomingdale. Fine snow continues. Still waiting for big flakes. Salt is clearly not doing much. We have trekked 7 miles in 35 minutes so far. Heading north and west to the sleds. Just hoping for 4+ in McHenry County so they open the trails.

AppsRunner Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 -SN, should be getting heavier soon, as DFI is reporting a visibility of 1/2 a mile. Good to see snow on top of snow for once. A toasty 18* here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went to the gym for about 45 minutes, before I left I shoveled a walk way to the garage. The part I shoveled, I measured 1.25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thermal low (lake-effect) over Lake Ontario is bringing some heavy snow in the eastern parts of Toronto (Finch/DVP). It's very localized. System snow to arrive later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Only 10 miles in one hour and a random Bmw at Lake St. and Bloomingdale Rd. FTL. F 150 doing well for us and flake size picking up FTW. Also heard Lake Cook Rd to downtown via Edens is 4 hours and 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I now feel bad for mocking the mighty HRRR earlier. I don't think we'll see another flake or pellet the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
