snowstormcanuck Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 None taken. Snow-wise though, it's hard to be positive when you live in one of Canada's least snowiest cities east of the Rocky Mountains. :-) I've also had to learn to lower my expectations after 6 years of living in Ottawa. Well, officially, we on average get equal to if not more snow than any major city in the prairie provinces. But I get the drift, that's not been the case over the last 4 years or so.

Brewers Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Pretty much a complete fail here. Snow should be ending here shortly. I doubt there's even a half an inch outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Pretty much a complete fail here. Snow should be ending here shortly. I doubt there's even a half an inch outside. I can't see that north end band forming. Sure doesn't look like it now. Just barely hanging onto 15 dbz returns. Can't tell how much has fallen, but it's better than a half inch w/o the LES that fell this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars in the parking lot at work don't even have snow on them. I would say 0.1-0.2" would be a better estimate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Moving on over. As posted in the other thread... Like this right now. LAF: 0.5-1.0" KFickle, OKK: 1-2" BMG, FWA, IND: 2-4" I hope you're right. I was convinced that I was going to be a Robbie Gould kick, splitting the northern and southern waves.

I would say 0.1-0.2" would be a better estimate here. Down to flurries in Waukegan. The ligher colored cars have snow on them, but not the dark ones. The cars that have been in the lot the longest have snow on their windows, but not their roofs. Skilling still harping on the return of the LES plume... not so sure will see it though. Lol, a couple years ago, we would not be talking about measly snows like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 1.7 inches of somewhat surprising snow here this morning in Dunlap. Just under 4 inches on the ground. Nice. Finally looks like winter and the large snowflakes gently falling this morning were beautiful to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 ECMWF is a little juicier here... somewhere between .25-.3". 12:1 ratios to be conservative is in a 2-4" range. CLE and I agree for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I hope you're right. I was convinced that I was going to be a Robbie Gould kick, splitting the northern and southern waves. Looks like IWX is thinking 1-3" for you, so we're close. Updated aviation discussion. .AVIATION... WAA RESPONSIBLE FOR MODERATE SNOW THIS MORNING IS FINALLY BEGINNING TO LIFT NORTH AND WEAKEN. EXPECT A GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT AT KSBN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LINGERING MOISTURE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING TROUGH WILL RESULT IN PERSISTENT LOW END MVFR CIGS THOUGH. MIDLEVEL VORT MAX CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL SPAWN SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE APPALACHIAN REGION TONIGHT. DEFORMATION ZONE IN THE NORTHWEST FLANK WILL SUPPORT LIGHT SNOW AFTER 06Z...MAINLY AT KFWA. LIFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT KFWA LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING WITH 1-3 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE BY THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

snowstormcanuck Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Maybe some potential lake effect? Anyway looking good for a 2-3'' snow. Probably better to go with the stingier NAM.

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. they won't be Hmm, well maybe! At least outside of the southern wave. That band north of Milwaukee is broken up and poorly structured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
