michsnowfreak Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 DTW picked up 1.7" in 1.5 hours as of midnight. I was at 1.3" at 12:20am. It was REALLY coming down for a while, but a warning is such a joke lol. The roads are mainly wet with a tad but of slush...whereas driving was a nightmare on Feb 10/11 with not even an advisory. Once the dryslot hits Im wondering if we see convective snow squalls and temps inching back up. Its like an April snow out there. Will find out in the morning. Hate saying it but it reminds me of Jan 1, 2008 lol, which was one horrible storm (for me) in an otherwise fantastic winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 After taking a short break, I was floored when I saw a report of 6.1" in Lake Mills, about an hour west. I knew that was right where some bright banding was planted, but it's still pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Nice gravity waves showing up in Muscatine County IA on the DVN radar. Upon looping the radar you can see them propagating towards the west-southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks for the welcome! Still flurries. I went to hop in the tub for a soak (Arthritis and fibro) and expected a bit more when I got out. However, it appears we're still just on the edge here and those bands from Royal Oak are about ten miles to the south now, so I expect it will pick up some pretty sudden.

It looked just like a severe summer storm, with C-C lightning going across the sky like pitchforks while silver dollar-sized flakes dropped by the zillions. it was incredible, to say the least.

Does that really look like it will only drop another two inches? Did you notice how fast the temps dropped when precip started tonight? I dont buy another 1-2 inches before this is all done. Really dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 0.8" snow and 0.42" water thus far. borderline +SN right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's absolutely ripping snow right. Easily the heaviest of the season (and the heaviest I've seen for a Winter Storm since 2008). The ground is becoming completely covered. We will probably be around 2-3" when this round is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Dubuque official observation up to 5" even now, and still mass rippage. Approaching an inch here. Sticking to everything. Gonna be very picturesque in the morning unless the wind blows most of it off later in the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really dont. I hope Im wrong I really do. I just dont like the set up of this storm. I got to be honest Ive been holding it in four a few hours now. I see no change I believe its flat out miss really. I think will be in serious dry slot tomorrow while areas north into the thumb and saginaw valley gets warning type snows. Will see I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
