Geos Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 that shiit band finally made it all the way out there huh? probably 1.3 or so here. http://www.chicagotr...0,4453434.story Yep, only lasted 15 minutes. You got more snow then I did! 0.2" here. Looks like the band will be focused somewhere up the shore from me for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Nice pic DLL. The dusting of snow from last night gave the snowpack a renewed look this morning as the sun came up. A nice fresh look to it. Made for a pretty sweet white christmas. Still looks like an inch or two of snow possible on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we usually cash in with LES at all! Noticing a light band forming east of Racine and Kenosha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Crappy day out, caught in the huge stratus bank coming off Lake Michigan. 20 miles northwest of here just has cirrus overhead based on this satellite loop: http://mapmaker.aos.wisc.edu/scr3/sat/g8/g8msnflash.html Lake effect from the storm is probably optimizing about now as it makes its close approach, been having very light snow most of the morning.

Hoar_Frost Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Slightly off topic, but today is the third anniversary of the "surprise" Boxing Day snowfall that left up to 12-14" in six hours or so over portions of the Fox Valley in northern Illinois. Out of the posters on here, it probably affected me, Thundersnow, and Chicago Storm the most. After GHD and perhaps '99, that remains the third-greatest snowfall of my lifetime. I would have sworn that LOT released a technical summary (prepared by Gino Izzi, I want to say) on that event, but I cannot find it among the Top News Archives on its website. Am I remembering correctly, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I remembering correctly, anyone? I thought so too. I remember ratios were like 40:1 in some areas which is pretty hard to pull off outside of LES.

Geos Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I remember that event guys! I was out in McHenry county for part of that. That was probably the most surprising snowstorm of all time for me. Especially when there was nothing like it forecast. I think there might have been 1-2" forecast that day/night. Definitely remember the fluffy element to the snow. - very easy to shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Cleared out nicely about an hour ago...temp still in the teens... Dropped to 3F last night. Must be nice having that hot tub called L Michigan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately NCDC is missing a few periods of data in there, but what was available still made for a decent loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Indianapolis with 9.5" of snowfall this December, through today. Good for the 21st snowiest December on record (records since 1884). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 9F on my jog tonite. Not a cloud in the sky and only a very light breeze (if that)... With snow cover over the entire area, not really impressed with these temps...airmass must not be that cold or else we would be a lot colder. Looks like snow coming Thurs nite/Fri...

KeenerWx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 A few models are showing the potential for a meso-low to develop over southern LM as this next little disturbance passes through. Might be something to watch over the next day or so, especially for interested folks near the WI/IL/IN/MI lakeshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be something to watch over the next day or so, especially for interested folks near the WI/IL/IN/MI lakeshore. ` Conditions look ideal with a pretty weak pressure gradient. On top of that, looks like a solid 2-4 inch snow event for Southern WI. With a fairly deep and saturated DGZ along with UVV due to the passing vorticity maxima will allow for light/moderate snow on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMM has a dot of .25+ over MBY...these things are only long shots but they're also the only thing that broke my futility streak. I'd favor the WI/IL border area right now.

TugHillMatt Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 DTX hinting at the potential for a couple inches of snow for SeMI tomorrow evening. Hmmm..local meteorologists over here seem to be saying "an inch or so". Are they downplaying it, or are they taking the Muskegon anti snow shield in to account?
