wisconsinwx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Right on the edge of mod-heavy snow much of the evening. Hard to complain, as I wasn't expecting much more than a couple inches, which I am approaching now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yeah, I think it was a Thursday or a Friday. I remember walking to the library around 11am with a sheet of sleet hitting my face. Slightly painful. Must be it then. It was the only snow day I had in high school...aside from 2 exam cancellations for snow squall warnings that never verified.

Nelson Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Light snow has started here. Sitting at 34/26 - think we will be able to squeeze out 3". Pleasant surprise as I was thinking that we would be lucky to see an inch earlier today. Good luck to everyone to the south and east of here.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Must be it then. It was the only snow day I had in high school...aside from 2 exam cancellations for snow squall warnings that never verified. January 21,2005 also saw a cold storm in Toronto, with heavy snow and air temperatures below 0F. In fact, i think it was -20C and snowing at one point.

Chicago Storm Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Izzi's 6z aviation update... BAND OF MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SNOW HAS BECOME FAIRLY WELL SITUATED FROM S WI/FAR N IL WSW INTO SOUTHERN IA. TO THE SOUTH OF THIS BAND WDLY SCTD RAIN/SNOW/GRAUPEL SHOWERS HAVE BEEN COMMON WITH SOME DZ/BR IN BETWEEN THE SHOWERS. AS UPPER LOW OVER IA PIVOTS EASTWARD LOOK FOR BAND OF MOD-HEAVY SNOW TO MIGRATE SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE CHGO METRO TERMINALS. PRESENCE OF STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND FAIRLY STRONG ASCENT CERTAINLY SUGGEST SOME POTENTIAL FOR SOME HEAVIER ELEMENTS AND POSSIBLY EVEN A RUMBLE OF THUNDER. ORGANIZED SYSTEM SNOW SHOULD PULL OUT FRIDAY MORNING WITH CLOUDY AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS IN ITS WAKE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST NOT ONLY STRONG/GUSTY WINDS WITH GUSTS OF 25-30KT PROBABLE. ALSO...VERY STEEP LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH FAIRLY HIGH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE MEANS IT WILL TAKE RELATIVELY LITTLE TO KICK OF SOME FRISKY SNOW SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON FRIDAY. MODELS DO SUGGEST A WEAK WAVE WILL ROTATE SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA LATER FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND HAVE KEYED IN ON THAT TIMING FOR A PROB30 OF SHSN.

hm8 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 2nd hardest snow of the season, massive flakes. Starting to stick to pavement now, temps have really plummeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The first flakes are just now beginning to fall in Flint. I have a feeling we'll see at least six, if not eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to complain, as I wasn't expecting much more than a couple inches, which I am approaching now. It is pouring small flakes here right now. Can't complain here either, snow is sticking good. Gonna measure in a bit again. Probably 2.5-3.0" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 If I had a guess that band might lift and stop just north of I696. Wherever it stops will be heartbreak city for the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 2.2" reported very close by, but it was probably an area that saw more of the heavy snow band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 1" reported here EDIT: And that was an hour ago so we've passed that by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Think we finally ditched the rest of the sleet. Snowing much better now with large/wet flakes. Probably close to a half inch now. Sticking on paved areas now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 2.8" here. 3.0" at Wadsworth, which is the next town over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Finally a band of heavy snow moving into CR. Snow is really picking up with large flakes and should get heavier over the next 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
