gosaints Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yes I was skeptical about this band holding together but it seems to mean business. Might be in it for a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremewx52 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 lots of convective elements feeding into the developing deformation band that will rock cycloneville...hopefully we see some crazy reports later of +SN and 70 mph gusts. dryslot now fully through chicago...hopefully some low topped convection will blow up ahead of the approaching low. Your wish has been granted. Convection starting to fire near the surface low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 7.8" down in Mt. Horeb as of 7:30am. 1.26" of liquid. Current temp at 31.4F (up from 31.2F 30 min ago). Light snow at the moment with a healthier band just to the south. Hope our temps can keep us all snow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 7.8" down in Mt. Horeb as of 7:30am. 1.26" of liquid. You've been all snow the entire storm? If so, 6:1 ratio...puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 You've been all snow the entire storm? If so, 6:1 ratio...puke. best guess is WI sites are going over to light mist during weaker returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 HRRR has some tantalizing weenie images with the big band that swings through eastern IA/western IL and then WI. I will say though, always interesting watching big winter storms develop. They way it morphs as it goes through different forms is a good learning experience. Easy for me to say with nothing "on the line" I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 45 now, rain has stopped. We received .84" overnight. Looks like the 2nd round is due sometime by noon, maybe sooner. Looking like my original 1" call is going to verify in the overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 lots of convective elements feeding into the developing deformation band that will rock cycloneville...hopefully we see some crazy reports later of +SN and 70 mph gusts. dryslot now fully through chicago...hopefully some low topped convection will blow up ahead of the approaching low. That's what I am hoping for over here in Michiana as the morning rain moves ne and the dry slot appears before the deformation band and nw winds kick in behind this thing. T storm at LAF and Kokomo earlier this morning but none up here in Michiana as far as I can tell from talking to coworkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 You've been all snow the entire storm? If so, 6:1 ratio...puke. As far as I can tell - SN+ at the moment and sitting at 31.6F. Snow is easily the most dense I've shoveled so the ratio seems about right. But, yeah, talk about a waste of 1.26" lol. I guess I shouldn't complain with 8" on the ground though.

Holy cow. Try being in SEMI watching all this snow on web cams to my west with little to no chance of any accumulation.

Natester Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 You know, i'm kinda glad we didn't get as much snow as forecast. This snow was a very wet snow and I see some branches that broke off from our neighbor's tree. Also, for some odd reason a American Robin decided to stay put and sing in a snow covered tree. I have video of that which I will upload in a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Wow. Just heard the anchor on WLIT 93.9 in Chicago talk about how it was the National Weather Service that named this thing Draco . . . Unfamiliarity with the actual weather products has always been an issue with many of these types of shows - mixing up watches with warnings when they are writing/reading script, etc. I had to mention that line though.

Since it fell before the winds really started picking up, just stuck to everything and made matters much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaser Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 would be nice if every run of the mill winter storm was accompanied with t-snow and 40-60 mph winds. Compacted into 7 inches of concrete these 60 mph winds you speak of won't even move a flake of that snow...and thundersnow isn't that uncommon if you actually think about it...I have encountered it six or seven times, it's overrated just like this storm....and I have yet to see any 70 mph wind gusts today.
