jhamps10 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Snow started flying in earnest within the hour... big fat flakes too, so far a dusting on grass and the roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 RAP snowfall maps at IWMs kinda piss me off. By 17z tomorrow it's showing the 0.2" liquid line getting up to YYZ but has <1" of snowfall. Is it perpetually stuck on a 5:1 snow ratio? Did the same thing last storm.

jhamps10 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 heh meanwhile 7 miles north in Louisville (IL, NOT KY) there's already 1.6"... oh well it's coming down hard now here in Flora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 heh meanwhile 7 miles north in Louisville (IL, NOT KY) there's already 1.6"... oh well it's coming down hard now here in Flora I was about to flip out and say not again. Although Southern Indiana is expected to get more snow than Louisville, Kentucky again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rent Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Has the heaviest band set up north of the advisory? I'm on my cell, hard to compare. Sent from my Galaxy S III on Tapatalk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Nice looking band just SE of me. Sweet looking. Judging by the radars, I'll be lucky see a stray flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 RAP has been increasing precip totals here... now a sliver of .4" reaching NWOH tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it, though I expect 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 1" so far here. probably slightly more than that by now. 2.5-3" total in Belleville overall when it's done. Maybe a 4" lollipop if we can get some 30DBZ snows for a bit. It's dark, and 3-4 more hours of moderate snow with 1/4-1/2 per hour rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*IndyMeso* Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Snowing good here in noblesville for the past hour. Everything already covered. If this keeps up I wouldn't be surprised if we were on the higher side of total accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Some pretty impressive banding from southern IL up to near IND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhamps10 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 they will.. and that heavy band stretches all the way down here to me in Flora.. 2" on the ground so far and still coming down hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Sweet looking. Judging by the radars, I'll be lucky see a stray flake. RAP is suffering from GFS broadbrush syndrome. Huge areal coverage of precip on the NW side when in reality it's this narrow, focused band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhamps10 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 This is how it looked when I walked into Subway for dinner.... when we left the entire lot was covered and it was coming down heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 About to enter a small dry slot for about an hour to two, then things should really get going here. My final call for Louisville is 2-4 inches. We will have to fill the dry slot if we want 4-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 RAP is suffering from GFS broadbrush syndrome. Huge areal coverage of precip on the NW side when in reality it's this narrow, focused band. I did see a couple of flakes a minute, so I was wrong. But, this is gonna miss MBY completely...for all intents and purposes. Oh well. Enjoy, to those to the south and east. Looks like some fun can be had if you get underneath one of those nice bands.

Chicago Storm Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Would be surprised if IND doesn't extent the WWA farther north given the following reports. That enhanced band isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Might see some 6"+ reports given what's still to come. 0844 PM SNOW 1 SW FISHERS 39.94N 86.04W 12/28/2012 M2.0 INCH HAMILTON IN NWS EMPLOYEE TOTAL SINCE 645 PM EST. ONE INCH FELL WITHIN PAST 45 MINUTES. 0847 PM HEAVY SNOW 1 N CLERMONT 39.83N 86.32W 12/28/2012 M2.0 INCH MARION IN NWS EMPLOYEE 2 INCHES OF SNOW ON GROUND...1 IN LAST HOUR.

cyclone77 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah, real nice band over Indy. Gonna be some wide variations in accumulations with heavy bands like this next to much lighter snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fickle Heights Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Very fine snow falling at KFickle at the moment. Maybe a dusting of accumulation. So close to that heavier band...sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The winter wonderland outside is just about to become a whole lot wintrier! Refresher snow ftw! And the snowbanks havent even had much of a chance to get dirty yet AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 901 PM EST FRI DEC 28 2012 .UPDATE... THE MID TROPOSPHERIC DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER WAVE NOW ADVANCING ACROSS THE SRN MS VALLEY HAS BEEN STRENGTHENING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS. THIS IS APPARENT BY BOTH THE COOLING CLOUD TOPS ON THE IR IMAGERY OVER THE LOWER OH VALLEY/SRN GREAT LAKES AND EXPANDING REGION OF SNOW EXTENDING FROM SE MO INTO CNTRL INDIANA. OBSERVATIONAL DATA OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS HAVE SHOWN THE MID LEVEL DEFORMATION TRENDING STRONGER AND FURTHER NORTH THAN EARLIER MODEL SOLUTIONS INDICATED. THIS IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE CURRENT FORECAST WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THIS MID LEVEL DEFORMATION SLIDING INTO METRO DETROIT LATE TONIGHT. WHILE THE STRONGEST FORCING THIS FAR NORTH IS LIKELY TO BE QUITE HIGH UP /AROUND 600 MB/...THE 00Z DTX SOUNDING SHOWED GOOD MOISTURE EXTENDING UP TO THE 600MB LEVEL AND A TEMPERATURE PROFILE WHICH COULD SUPPORT GOOD SNOWFLAKE SIZE. UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS...THE 00Z DTX SOUNDING PROFILE AND RECENT RUNS OF THE HRRR ARE SUPPORTIVE OF AN UPWARD ADJUSTMENT TO FCST SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ALONG AND SE OF AN ADRIAN TO MT CLEMENS LINE /2 TO 4 INCHES/. THE PERIOD OF STRONGEST ASCENT WILL BETWEEN 6Z AND 13Z. THE HIGHEST SNOW TOTALS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MONROE COUNTY AND THE DOWNRIVER COMMUNITIES. CERTAINLY CAN NOT RULE OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OF THESE LOCALS MAY SEE AMOUNTS SLIGHTLY EXCEED 4 INCHES. THE ABUNANCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND INCREASED LARGE SCALE ASCENT SHOULD ALLOW A FAIRLY LARGE REGION OF LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES TO PERSIST ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD HOWEVER DROP OFF QUITE DRAMATICALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN DETROIT SUBURBS UP ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. THUS NO ADJUSTMENTS TO FCST ACCUMS WILL BE MADE NW OF THE ADRIAN TO MT CLEMENS LINE. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 That band has done its best to avoid IND, so far. Think I'd have to jump in the car and chase it, if I just getting missed. Pixie dust falling here. Light coating on the car. We'll call it a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
