TimChgo9 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 There was actually snow on the ground this morning. Still busted though. About 1/2" of snow.. I was calling for 1" . Power stayed on, even though it was pretty windy. Not the very high winds like we were initially expecting. We did get a gust of 51mph through here though.

Jon With all the places that busted low with this event, you are ground zero for a place busting high. SO jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Had a storm total precip of 0.79" and 1.2" snow imby (0.71" was rain, 0.08" snow). Looks like winter outside. White on the ground, steel gray sky, and a biting wind. Now...fingers crossed for later this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 On 12/21/2012 at 12:09 PM, Chicago WX said: It turned out to be better than a T. Looks like somewhere around an inch, definitely shy of it though. Haven't gone out to do a measurement...kinda wicked out there still. South and west of here look they made out pretty nicely though. I saw IND had 0.9" as of midnight, and it's been snowing since then. Peak gust of 50 mph at LAF. All in all, still a win. Looks, sounds, and feels like winter this morning. WLFI had 1" fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think it came down to the fact the ground was so wet from all that rain, it just had a hard time sticking. UHI doesn't help either. I buy the wet ground to an extent but we saw it get overcome in other places. I think the wet ground, lack of intense snow rates and temps hanging above freezing all conspired to do in Chicago.

buckeye Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 finally getting the real snow with this system out here. Looks like a solid 1.5-2" should be realized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natester Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I took some pictures this morning on the way to work of the snow. I noted that the great majority of the pine trees were sagging due to the weight of the snow. Here's a picture of one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think I had more snow with the LES incident of Dec. 12 here in Michiana than I did with this system. Definitely underperformed here. Much more grass showing than snow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 About 5-7pm last night a heavy burst of snow hit before changing over to all rain. Anywhere from 1/4"-1" fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 we're the johnny-come-lately of the storm. It took awhile but we have a solid 2 and could hit 3 looking at intensity and radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 We've had sustained winds 35 mph from the NW gusting to the mid 40s. Took this picture earlier when the waves hit the lighthouse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You want to live near a populated area, most likely its crap for snow... Not many nice snowy areas with people and work... I'm in Gaylord right now and there is 20 inches. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon SE wisconsin is loaded with great snowmobile trails if that's your thing. ...now if only we got to use them for more than a week or two a season. Even Gaylord is prone to total meltdowns, thankfully they can do well with cutters and have the LES crutch to get things back in order fast.

Chinook Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 CNN.com I guess the storm is "whacking" the Midwest. http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/21/us/midwest-blizzard/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1 Blizzard whacking the Midwest expected to lose strength The storm was the first blizzard of the season and it certainly made travel from the Plains into the Midwest.

Did you shovel? With the 1.1" at DTW, the first 1"+ snowfall comes about 3 weeks later than normal, but nearly 5 weeks earlier than the record latest.

But I'm sure once the flakes start flying and hear them start getting the calls tonight, I'll miss it. I 69 was a zoo today, especially in southern Huntington County. Just over an inch of snow and some freezing drizzle this afternoon is all it took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
