BowMeHunter Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 you'll get your crust inch later I laughed at Milwaukee's map yesterday that showed the bulls eye here and 4.8" I can't remember ever jack potting in a small event like this ever since I've lived at this house. Sarcastically told the wife on to her deaf ears we'll be lucky to get an inch now.. I didn't think that would actually happen though.. figured 2" was a lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Nice little light to moderate snow falling here now. Enough to coat the roofs and roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flake size is p good here. When i'm in the office and we have these fluff flakes with no wind, it always seems like there are more flakes moving up than down.

Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Parents confirm snow in Kankakee. Nice flake size as well...came down decently for a time, according to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Lol, it would be funny if the suburbs in NE Cook County were the big winners with the 2 day snow totals! Still snowing the same. Flake rate might have increased a tad. Will be easily measurable with no wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to run BUFKIT to see what the DGZ looks like. I've read in a couple of AFDs that it's impressive. Plus there's the chance for some lake enhancement but that based on what I'm seeing right now would stay to your south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 12z 4km NAM brings measurable to LAF. Even tickles the SE corner of the county with the 0.25" line. The differences between the 0z and 12z runs for parts of Illinois and Indiana are rather astounding, for a relatively minor event of course. 0z run through 18z Saturday: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/NAMSFC4_0z/ptot42.html 12z run through 18z Saturday: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/NAMSFC4_12z/ptot30.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Looks like this chunk of snow is wrapping up IMBY. Received just enough snow so that I could cancel my roof inspections for today. Good enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 It's a shame we fought dry air for so long. Otherwise, we may have had a decent little snow this morning. Final tally should be around 0.5" despite being under good returns for the past 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flake size is p good here. When i'm in the office and we have these fluff flakes with no wind, it always seems like there are more flakes moving up than down. Yeah by the time it gets here a few hrs of decaying snow should be good for a half inch maybe. LES by the sounds of mke office is dead here also. Obviously by my whining I'd rather have the 4.8" than maybe 1" of fluff in the forecast now but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter as much anymore. Since I don't snowmobile right now it doesn't hurt as bad when to me and south misses out and it will make it easier to when we torch sometime in the 1st half of January that's its not destroying a decent snow pack. was wondering if you were at the office today. snow watching while working should make the morning go quick.. Never got to witness snow high up like you do all winter. definitely sounds like I have missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there's the chance for some lake enhancement but that based on what I'm seeing right now would stay to your south. Looks like about 50mb. Nothing remarkable. I'm not even going to pretend like I know about snowflake microphysics but BUFKIT still manages to spit out 15:1 ratios. Assuming 0.15" QPF, and 2" snowfall or a touch above sounds right.

I think we'll get atleast a inch, it looks to be light snows falling persistently so in my opinion it will accumulate to atleast a inch or so. Upper air temps support 13:1 to 15:1 snow ratios, so yeah. And btw Canuck i think you should remove your "Winter storm free since 08" lool, this past storm was the first widespread Winter storm we've seen across Ontario and Quebec since 2008-09. Though it wasnt a whole alot it was more than any storm we've seen since lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
